The mountains and rivers travel to search for the colors of brocade, while the fireworks are wide and narrow to search for hidden places. The main building of Chuanxing Yinli Hotel was first built in the middle of the last century and was the accommodation building for foreign experts in the industrial project of Chengdu assisted by the Soviet Union. With the changing international situation, the Soviet Union withdrew its experts from China, and the building immediately became the technical expert dormitory of Southwest Wireless Electronics Factory. It was not until the relocation of Chengdu Radio Third Factory in 2018 that the main building came to an end to the glorious and arduous historical mission that had been carried by Chengdu's industrial development for 60 years.Chengdu Yinli Hotel Management Company took over the renovation of the building in 2021, adhering to the construction concept of "preserving history" and "repairing the old as before". After three years, this red expert building, which witnessed the magnificent development history of Chengdu since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, has been transformed into a cultural hotel with great regional characteristics and historical heritage. Here, with a history of 60 years and the imprint of the hardships of pioneers, it is a concentrated reflection of the "Chengdu spirit" and the best place to savor the taste of time and listen to the sound of fleeting years.
"Facilities: Overall, the stay was quite comfortable with no major issues. The room was spacious, featuring a small living room area where we could relax and enjoy some tea. The bathroom was large, and the vanity counter was big and practical, allowing us to place many items. The showerhead could use an upgrade; a higher-quality one with a more comfortable water flow would be a good idea. A nice touch about this B&B is the more personalized feel of the toiletries and attention to detail. For instance, new disposable toilet seat covers were provided daily. The bedding was decent, neither too soft nor too firm. The heating worked well, making the room warm quickly after being turned on. The lobby on the first floor has a lounge area with children's toys, which my son loved and played with every day upon our return. The backyard garden is beautifully designed, perfect for groups to gather around a tea stove and chat.
Cleanliness: Generally clean. The tea set we used the night before was cleaned by the staff the next day.
Environment: The back of the property faces old residential buildings, and I personally found the soundproofing to be mediocre. My room was in a corner, but I could still hear doors closing in the hallway. Thankfully, it generally quieted down around midnight. The interior decor of the room was decent, depending on personal taste.
Service: The front desk service was good, with staff being enthusiastic and polite. The complimentary fruit was very fresh, and there was also a small snack bag. Afternoon tea only included two drinks, and the Americano was just so-so. Breakfast was semi-buffet; after finishing the set meal, if you're still hungry, you can opt for the buffet. The set meal varied daily and tasted excellent, highly recommended.
Location: Within a 15-minute walk to Kuanzhai Alley. People's Park requires a one-stop bus ride. The subway station is within a 10-minute walk, so it's a convenient distance.
Parking: Located behind the hotel, shared with the residential complex. The number of parking spaces is limited."
