Holiday Inn Chengdu Oriental Plaza, an IHG Hotel

Holiday Inn Chengdu Oriental Plaza, an IHG Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into the Holiday Inn Chengdu Oriental Plaza, an IHG Hotel, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical Holiday Inn. The lobby has this polished, contemporary feel that honestly surprised me — it’s got the sophistication you’d expect from a five-star property in Chengdu‘s business district. The staff greets you with that perfect balance of professionalism and warmth, and you can tell they’re used to handling both business travelers and tourists who’ve done their homework on where to stay. The attention to detail throughout the public spaces reflects the hotel’s commitment to excellence.

Location & Getting Around

The location on Dongdajie is actually brilliant — you’re right in the heart of Jinjiang district, which means you can walk to Chunxi Road shopping area in about ten minutes. I mean, couples consistently rate this spot a 9.4, and after spending time here, I get why. You’re close enough to Tianfu Square that you can easily explore the city center, but far enough from the absolute chaos that you can actually get some rest. The parking situation is refreshingly stress-free too — they’ve got free private spots, which is honestly a godsend in this part of the city. The convenient access to public transportation makes exploring Chengdu effortless.

The Room Experience

The room itself strikes that sweet spot between luxury and comfort without feeling overly formal. Large windows give you decent city views, and the bed is genuinely comfortable — not just hotel-marketing comfortable. What I appreciated most was the attention to details like blackout curtains that actually work and a bathroom with proper water pressure. The space feels modern and clean, with that subtle elegance you’d expect from a five-star property, but it doesn’t feel cold or intimidating. Modern amenities are thoughtfully integrated throughout.

Dining & Amenities

Breakfast here is where they really shine — the buffet spread is impressive without being overwhelming, and the continental options actually taste fresh. The restaurant serves both international and local Sichuan dishes, though honestly, with so many incredible local spots within walking distance, you might find yourself eating out more often than not. The spa facilities are well-maintained and provide a nice retreat after a day of exploring the city’s temples and markets. The hotel’s culinary offerings cater to diverse palates and preferences.

Why Guests Love It

What sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both luxurious and approachable — you’re not intimidated by over-the-top opulence, but you definitely feel like you’re staying somewhere special. The combination of the prime location, consistently good service, and that reliable IHG quality makes it a solid choice whether you’re here for business or leisure. You know what really sold me? It’s the kind of place where everything just works smoothly, from check-in to checkout, without any of those little annoyances that can derail a trip. The hotel consistently exceeds guest expectations through its dedication to service excellence.
