<h4><strong>The Feel</strong></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The journey to the hotel feels like a grand entrance, amongst Chengdu’s cityscape and reflective buildings that tower over 50 stories. The tall glass building glitters in the skyline, while Waldorf Astoria’s bright insignia acts as a lighthouse, bringing you into a hotel that exudes elegance — decorated with gold accents, chandeliers, and art deco, with floor to ceiling windows at every turn, inviting you to admire Chengdu’s beauty. The beauty is personal too, with staff welcoming you from the ground floor to bring you up to the lobby on the 50th floor, a helpful concierge, and a team that goes beyond.</span></p>
<h5><strong>Guest Quarters</strong></h5>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like the rest of the building, each room enjoys a stunning eagle&#8217;s eye view of Chengdu. The elegant rooms feature large traditional artworks hung above plush bedding, accented with brass, wood, and pearl detail. There is ample space to unwind, with the sitting area, chaise longue, and study desk, as well as marble bathrooms fitted with a bathtub. Luxury meets comfort here with a pillow menu, automated day and blackout curtains, 24-hour housekeeping, and more.</span></p>
<h6><strong>Food and Drink</strong></h6>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take your pick from five in-house restaurants and bars: Brasserie 99 serves buffet and semi-buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Infinite Luck is a Sichuanese restaurant that is not only popular within the hotel, but is known as one of Chengdu&#8217;s finest restaurants. Peacock Alley, an original concept from Waldorf Astoria New York in 1897, is the perfect spot for tea or drinks. Visit Limited Edition Grill for American-style dining in a relaxed show kitchen, and Limited Edition Sip Bar for fine wines, spirits, and craft beers. Bonus: all restaurants offer amazing city views.</span></p>
