Best MICHELIN Hotels in Asia for Discovering Ancient Temples and Cultural Landmarks

"In a city where sleek tech campuses coexist with Taoist temples and teahouse rituals, this boutique sanctuary by Swire Hotels finds quiet harmony within the remnants of a Qing dynasty temple complex. Behind a sculptural brick-and-timber façade that nods to traditional Chengdu architecture, 100 rooms and 42 serviced residences open onto leafy courtyards and peaceful terraces. While the Daci Temple once hosted emperors, the inspiration here is humbler — the understated dwellings of scholars who journeyed from afar to study — and today the experience pairs sleek design with historical grace, complete with an expansive spa, an indoor pool, and all the polished modern comforts expected of a hotel that reveres the past without being bound by it." - Faye Bradley
