Travelled in Sichuan in the second half of October, 2025. Picked the Shangri-La hotel to stay in Chengdu as I am a Jade member of Shangri-La Circle. Location of hotel is not close to the subway station. It is a good 15 minutes walk to the nearest subway station. I was allocated to stay on the 16th floor. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable. However, there was strong odor coming out from some of the rooms when the doors were opened even though the floor was a non-smoking floor. Check-in process was troublesome. I had booked the room on a day to day basis for a week. When I checked-in, I was questioned why had I done that. Shangri-La offers to buy dining credit at a bargain price when you book the room. I had only wanted to buy dining credits for couple days and also to make my trip and schedule flexible. It appeared that this type of booking arrangement was not welcomed by the Front Desk. The Front Desk rep had to merge all my bookings. When I checked out, the information on the receipt of my stay was very confusing. Also, one of the nights was not credited for my points reward. I had to write to claim the missing points. Despite the service of the Front Desk was not what I expected, service of the concierge was excellent. My wife was not feeling well. We asked the concierge which hospital would be the best and less crowded. They made a great suggestion and called a taxi for us. In additional, service was great when dined in Shang Palace. The waitresses Anne, Annie and Iris provided great service. Staff service in Cafe Z was also very good. Unfortunately, I did not check out the swimming pool and the gym. Overall, I feel my experience staying in Shangri-La Chengdu was mediocre.
