The hype
Guests love the massive rooms and the metro convenience, but the service can feel a bit impersonal compared to smaller luxury boutiques.

فوری جائزہ: It’s a rebranded Fairmont that still feels like a Fairmont, but check the bathroom for smells before you unpack.
@YvetteChoco4705480 نے جائزہ دیا: I stayed in this suite at the Fairmont Chengdu and honestly, the vibe shift from day to night is incredible. The room is a sanctuary, but the bar downstairs is a total mood. It's the perfect spot if you love luxury with a bit of edge.

Reality check
The 'sewage smell' in the bathroom is a real roulette wheel — some rooms are pristine, others need an immediate room change.
- You are attending an event at the Century City Convention Center
- You need a fast, traffic-free train link to Tianfu International Airport (Line 18)
- You prefer modern, glass-and-steel luxury over creaky heritage buildings
صفائی اور مرمت
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally sharp and daily, but sometimes misses dust on high ledges.
- Bathroom hygiene: Visually spotless, but the 'sewage smell' complaint is too frequent to ignore.
- Maintenance: The building is relatively new (2016), so wear and tear is minimal.
- Linens & towels: High thread count, crisp, and typically replaced daily without issue.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells great; hallways are neutral; bathrooms are the danger zone.

جاننے کے لیے اچھا
- The hotel is now part of IHG's 'Vignette Collection', so IHG One Rewards apply.
- Line 18 (Airport Express) stops right at Century City station, a 2-minute walk from the lobby.
- Breakfast at Spectrum is a massive spread, but can get chaotic during trade show weeks.
کیا پیک کریں
- Universal power adapter (though most rooms have multi-plugs)
- Google Translate app (download Chinese offline) — taxi drivers won't speak English
- A small travel candle or room spray (just in case of the drain issue)
کمرے کی جینی
بہترین انتخاب
- High-floor Corner King (ends in roughly '08' or '18') for dual-aspect views
- Rooms facing the courtyard/park for less road noise than the Tianfu Avenue side
بچنے کے لیے کمرے
- Low floors near the elevators (hallway traffic)
- Any room where you detect a faint drain smell immediately upon entry — it gets worse, not better

سوالات و جوابات اور پوشیدہ تجاویز

Is this still a Fairmont hotel?
Technically no. It has rebranded to 'Vignette Collection Palm Springs Hotel Chengdu' under IHG, but the hardware and staff remain largely the same.
How far is it from the Pandas?
Far. It's about a 45-60 minute drive or a long subway ride with a transfer. Plan accordingly.
Is there a pool?
Yes, a stunning indoor heated pool with a skylight on the 4th floor.
Does the hotel accept international credit cards?
Yes, Visa and Mastercard are accepted, but set up Alipay or WeChat Pay for everything else outside the hotel.
Is it good for families?
Surprisingly yes — the nearby Global Center has a massive indoor water park and ice rink.
What is the deposit policy?
Standard for China: usually the full room rate plus 500-1000 RMB per night for incidentals.
اندرونی نکات
- ✨
The 'Gold Lounge' (if you book a club room) has a private check-in that saves you from the busy lobby queues.
- ✨
Walk 10 minutes to the 'Tiexiang Temple Riverfront' for a fake-but-pleasant 'old town' vibe with tea houses and Starbucks.
- ✨
The subway entrance (Century City) is literally steps from the hotel — use Exit A.
جانے سے پہلے جاننے کی 5 چیزیں
💡The rebranding has caused some confusion with taxi apps; search for 'Palm Springs Hotel' if 'Fairmont' fails.
💡The 'Miku' restaurant on the top floor has a secret suspended patio section that feels like you're floating.
💡The gym is excellent but can get crowded with locals who have memberships.
💡Room service noodles are actually better than the buffet noodles.
💡The lobby scent is distinctively expensive — a lingering sandalwood vibe.
