Following the openings of The Opposite House in Beijing and The Upper House in Hong Kong, Swire Hotels recently opened its third “House,” The Temple House in Chengdu, China.
UK-based Make Architects blend ancient Chinese culture with modern design at Swire’s newest property. The design was inspired by the region’s heritage, including the Daci Temple, a Buddhist monastery dating back to the Qing Dynasty restoration more than 1,000 years ago.
The 100 guestrooms range from studios to suites. For longer stays, 42 residences are also available.
The Temple Café offers a selection of Asian and Western food and beverage options with a twist, including hot and cold meals, snacks, pastries and juices. Tivano is considered one of the top Italian restaurants in Chengdu, offering an intimate bar and an open kitchen with a wood-fire pizza over. Jing is the hotel’s classic bar offering handcrafted cocktails, champagne, wine and local beer.
