Combining both old and brand-new buildings, The Temple House in Chengdu, China is a totally 21st-century Chinese hotel, balancing local culture with hi-tech. There’s an alluring and intimate feel from the moment you arrive; guests enter via a renovated 100-year-old courtyard building for a maximum authentic atmosphere.
