One of the major attractions is the excellent finish. For example, it has a rice paper ceiling, lacquer headboards, and carved wooden window frames which make the hotel very elegant looking.

Kempinski Hotel
It’s a unique hotel as it provides a great blend of European hospitality and contemporary Chinese style. Its location (in Chengdu) makes it ideal for anyone visiting china for business or pleasure. If you are in the country for pleasure you can visit UNESCO world Heritage-designated natural wonders which are just a few miles from the hotel.
