The former Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, Chengdu has been renamed Guanyin Yiyun Terrace, Chengdu! 🏡The hotel is renovated from two quadrangle dwellings dating back to the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. It is divided into "Kuan Ting" and "Zhai Yuan," separated by a quiet alley. It retains the original gray tiles, upturned eaves, and carved windows while incorporating the modern aesthetics of Bruno Moinard, a renowned French designer. It offers the perfect blend of bustling city life and tranquil seclusion. This private courtyard, transcending time, embodies the slow-paced lifestyle of old Chengdu… 🍃The architectural style reconstructs the space with elements such as bamboo forests, birdcage corridors, and copper water tanks. The glass curtain wall and bamboo screen at the entrance block out the noise while echoing the lively atmosphere of Kuanzhai Alley with a sense of light and shadow, making it an ideal spot for photos. 🪟The suite I stayed in featured a herringbone wave roof, air conditioning vents with auspicious cloud patterns, and a gourd-shaped brass washbasin, all reflecting the subtlety of Eastern aesthetics and the ingenuity of modern romance. Sitting in the room, you can simply push open the window to enjoy a picturesque view and savor tea. 🍵Here, history and modernity, East and West, tranquility and prosperity coexist in a poetic way. When visiting Chengdu, be sure to push open the heavy wooden door of the hotel and experience the vibrant atmosphere of Kuanzhai Alley. It will surely be an unforgettable experience…

The hotel is located at the entrance of Chengdu's famous scenic spot, Kuanzhai Alley, with a unique geographical advantage. It was designed by a renowned designer, and you can see the representative work of bird cages as soon as you enter. The hotel called in advance and added WeChat to understand the arrival time and needs, and patiently answered all kinds of questions. After arriving at the hotel, the concierge was a very talkative elder, with excellent service, helping with luggage, opening car doors, and introducing various delicious foods. The hotel lobby is small, but the staff will lead you to the rest area, organize all documents, have guests sign uniformly, and while guests stay in the rest area, the staff will come over to check in. The whole check-in process is very comfortable, which is rare to see in China. After check-in, the staff will lead you to the room and introduce the hotel's relevant information and surrounding tourist information. Upon arrival, I was upgraded to a Tianfu Suite, received several vouchers to exchange for small gifts in Kuanzhai Alley, and if it's not enough, you can ask the staff for more. The welcome gift was small snacks, which tasted quite good. At night, they provided hot milk and pillow spray when turning down the bed. The room is about a hundred square meters, with a large bathroom and a big sofa, and the mini-bar with non-alcoholic drinks is free. There is a percussion instrument in the room that looks like a Muyu (wooden fish), with music scores beside it, which you can try to play, quite interesting. Although the hotel is old, it is still well maintained and doesn't look very old. However, this time the room type was on the side, and I couldn't see the bird cage downstairs. The room voucher included a roasted milk, which I scheduled with the staff upon check-in. It's available at the Living Hall on the first floor, where you can have afternoon tea and the popular surrounding stove tea. The environment is quite nice, not too crowded, and we chose an outdoor spot where the staff made roasted milk on-site. The Living Hall is decorated in a Chinese style, and the staff also wear traditional attire. Both the carvings and decorations are very photogenic. The breakfast was average, probably the only downside of this stay. There weren't many varieties, possibly due to a low occupancy rate. The beef noodles and Sichuan dumplings were made very light, lacking the characteristic Sichuan-Chongqing flavor, but the service was quite good. The hotel has a bar and cafe, which is a large area, but it seems to have stopped operating. However, it should be a good place for events. It is said that the hotel also has KTV, a chess and card room, and a private club. The hotel displays many artworks, and scanning the QR code below provides a special introduction. At that time, part of the hotel was being renovated, so I didn't go to the gym. Staying here, you can take the opportunity to see Kuanzhai Alley at night without people, which is a strong contrast to the bustling daytime. Overall, the hotel's service is impeccable. Although it has been open for a long time, the maintenance is still good, and the design throughout the hotel is very photogenic, suitable for taking photos and checking in. The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the subway, with its own parking lot, and it's also convenient to take a taxi. The price is reasonable and it's worth the experience.

This is my Nth time in Chengdu, and I still inevitably want to stay close to the bustling city center, near hotpot, skewers, and rabbit heads. Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel Chengdu can be described as a true embodiment of seclusion within the city. The hotel is located on the busiest main road of the Kuanzhai Alleys, with the lively and extraordinary hustle and bustle of people and the scent of hotpot chili oil floating in the air right downstairs, yet inside the door lies a quiet and private little world of its own. Highlights: One compelling reason that attracted me to choose Diaoyutai: it is the first 'Diaoyutai' brand hotel designed by Cartier's royal designer Bruno Moinard, and also his first work in China. As soon as you step into the hotel lobby, it feels like you've traveled through time into a Qing dynasty mansion, with its grey bricks, black tiles, stone-paved ancient roads, and carved wooden doors, keeping the noise of tourists in the Kuanzhai Alleys at bay. The all-brass 'birdcage' corridor is a classic icon, echoing the Chengdu lifestyle of 'walking with a birdcage', and blending ancient and modern design sensibilities. Rooms: The hotel is divided into Kuan Courtyard and Zhai Garden. The lobby and dining are in the Kuan Courtyard, which is convenient for travel and activities, and you can feel the strong local atmosphere; Zhai Garden is purely for guest rooms, quieter and more suitable for rest. This time, Kaidi stayed in the 95-square-meter 'Chengdu Suite', which is also one of the rare terrace room types, where you can overlook the layered green tiles of the Kuanzhai Alleys from the terrace. The custom silk mattress and sleep aid aromatherapy in the room provide a good night's sleep, and the handwritten welcome card and fruit plate service are really thoughtful~ Diaoyutai Cuisine: 'Diaoyutai Cuisine' has its own school and has always been reputed as state banquet cuisine. The Diaoyutai Imperial Garden Restaurant in Chengdu is even recommended by the Michelin Guide. With the imperial edict unfolded, the same type of yellow-bottomed pink-colored dragon-patterned porcelain plate used by Empress Dowager Cixi, the Palace Museum's treasured gilded enamel-colored 'longevity' sea bowl, the sense of ceremony is full, and the service team is considerate and smooth. Spicy sea cucumber, golden soup fish maw, black bean pepper Wagyu, a mix of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy flavors, all delicious. It overturns the stereotype that Sichuan cuisine is only available in small fly restaurants and roadside stalls, and shows that precious ingredients can also be boldly innovated. This meal was an experience of the highest standard of hospitality in Chengdu. Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel Chengdu
