What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
HBA gave the Sheraton a design language rooted in that same maker's instinct, working local craft traditions into the build.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Qingshuihe Eco-art Park sits right outside the doors, and the world's only Sichuan Cuisine Museum is just across the district.
The rooms
Rooms look out directly across Jingrong Lake or the surrounding eco-art park. Interiors stay quiet, clean, and simple.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor lap pool is lined with red fluted wall panels and angled floor-to-ceiling windows.
The gym and sauna
Treadmills face the lake through floor-to-ceiling windows in the 24-hour fitness center, backed by free weights and a sauna.
Bar
Unspoken
Blue backlit bottle shelves illuminate the dark counter, where bartenders pour whiskies and cocktails beside velvet armchairs.
At the table
Yue cooks Cantonese and seasonal Sichuan dishes across eighteen private dining rooms. Daily Social serves market-style international buffets.
