May 28, 2014 - The St. Regis Chengdu today announces it is set to unveil in July 2014. Following the brand's legacy and bespoke luxury, the hotel will be the 32nd St. Regis hotel worldwide, and the sixth in the Greater China region, following recent landmark openings in Tianjin, Sanya, Lhasa, and Shenzhen.

The St. Regis Chengdu creates a home for today's entrepreneurial world traveler with a design style that infuses the Art Deco styling of the 1920's - when the flagship St. Regis opened its doors in New York City and set a new hospitality standard - with traditional elements of Szechuan culture and the high-energy dynamism of Chengdu. The Art Deco styling is augmented with traditional Sichuanese accents, modern architecture elements and stunning pieces of art that are both custom-made and curated especially for the hotel. The detailing and styling is a catalyst between eras and cultures, offering East meet West philosophies and the fusion of classic elements with modern day luxury.

The St. Regis Chengdu will offer 279 sumptuously-appointed guestrooms and suites ranging from 65sqm to 325sqm - among the largest available in the city.

These include: Social - signature all-day dining restaurant; Yan Ting -St. Regis' specialty Chinese restaurant featuring Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine; Yun Fu - four distinct private dining rooms on Level 27; Decanter - Chengdu's only dedicated wine bar offering an extensive selection of fine wine labels, liquors and aged cigars; Vantage XXVII - an outdoor sky bar with views of the spectacular city skyline; and Then Drawing Room - offering the legendary Bloody Mary and signature St. Regis rituals such as champagne sabering and afternoon tea.

The St. Regis Chengdu will also offer the signature St. Regis Butler Service for all guests, the first for any hotel in Chengdu. St. Regis Butler will provide 24-hour anticipatory service and stay customizations according to the specific needs, tastes and preferences of guests.

Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan province in Southwest China - a region known as "the Country of Heaven." An ancient city with rich cultural traditions that have guided its path over the centuries, today, Chengdu is best known around the world for its flavorful cuisine, the ancient Sichuan Opera and as the home for China's Giant Pandas. Because of its prime location in Southwest China, it is also recognized as a vital hub for commerce, serving the rapidly expanding world economy as a hub for more than 252 of Fortune 500 companies.
