First Six Senses resort opens in Chengdu, China

Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas, has opened a new property in the Qing Cheng Mountains in Chengdu province, China.

Set at the gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage & Natural Cultural site at nearby Dujiangyan, the Six Senses Qing Cheng Mountain offers 113 guest rooms and suites ranging from semi-detached suites in duplex villas with balconies and verandas, to courtyard suites, and garden and pool villas.

A collection of four suites may open on to a central courtyard, enabling them to be individually occupied or grouped into a private community compound for friends and family.

The resort, which is situated to the west of the Sichuan Basin, is less than a one-hour drive from the regional capital of Chengdu and 48 miles (78 kilometers) from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU). It was in this region, known as the ‘homeland of the Giant Pandas’ that the legendary Silk Road began.
