According to Tujia's 2017 National B&B Short-term Rental Report and China Tourism Academy's China-Europe Shared Accommodation Report, B&Bs have become a popular room type for Chinese and foreign tourists in Chengdu. According to the report, Chengdu has surpassed Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Guangzhou and other cities, and has successfully won the first place in the number of homestay occupancy in the country. Looking at Chengdu B&Bs, most of the urban areas are dominated by individually-run apartments and small villa-type B&Bs, while high-end B&Bs with brands and scale are clustered in the suburbs. The two are quite different in terms of features, style, and price. Here, the trusted choice ranking will divide Chengdu B&B into two lists: "urban B&B" and "suburban B&B".
Chongdri Zhuxia, located in Chongdri residential area, is a rare high-end homestay in Chengdu City. Together with the "Chongdri Tan Cha" tea room and the "Chongdri Eat" restaurant, it forms an important part of the Chongdri Chengdu historical building planning project. Founded in 1925, Chongdeli Residential Area is one of the few remaining residential courtyards in western Sichuan in the main urban area, consisting of more than 30 courtyards and alleys. In 2011, the Chengdu municipal government led the establishment of a working group to repair the remaining buildings here, which led to the completion of the Chongdeli residency.
Wang Hai, one of the designers and operators of the project, is a well-known painter and designer in China. Born in Chengdu, he takes "a city's way home" as his purpose, and strives to restore the style of the old courtyard in western Sichuan: the walls built of fence and mud, and the old roof of the green tile slope are all fully presented. In order to create a sense of authenticity, the project also retains most of the old building skeletons, and does not reconstruct the mottled walls and wooden columns of the building, trying to reproduce the Chongdri in the memory of old Chengdu to visitors.
There are 12 guest rooms with minimalist décor and interiors. Under the background of white and wood colors, a lot of designer furniture and lamps from Denmark and Germany are incorporated, and there are Nescafe capsule coffee machines, Bose Bluetooth speakers and other facilities, which are full of the exquisite sense of modern life. The largest of them, Suite 1, is a renovated courtyard of a residential complex with a small living room and a large bathroom in the style of a wooden house. The living room, which was originally a courtyard, is enclosed by steel and glass, and the walls retain fragments of old buildings, so that the architectural elements between the old and the new form a fusion. Due to the proximity of the B&B to the Old Town, the owner did not deliberately control the distance between the hotel and the neighborhood houses. Guests can see the market scene through the bay windows and skylights in some rooms, reducing the sense of restraint of guest accommodation. In addition, the bathing facilities and straw cloth in the guest rooms are equipped with the same configuration as a five-star hotel. All are equipped with German showers, showers, bathtubs, underfloor heating and L'OCCITANE personal care products with every detail.
The station has a one-to-one butler service, providing a series of personalized services such as airport pick-up, travel planning, car rental and car calling. Residents who need to eat, taste tea, and hold meetings can also move to areas such as "talking about tea" and "eating". In addition, it has an independent parking lot, is close to Chunxi Road Metro Station, and is only a 10-minute walk to IFC International Building, Wangfujing Department Store and Taikoo Li, so the transportation is very convenient. Depending on the room type and holiday needs, the price of a single room ranges from 900 yuan to 1400 yuan. Reservations can be made on major hotel platforms.
