Crowne Plaza Chengdu City Center by IHG

Mid-March 2026 i stayed 4 nights at the Crowne Plaza City Center Chengdu. The annual Sugar and Wine Fair Festival was taking place there at the same time. China's largest food and alcohol festival for the industry. You wouldn't recognize the hotel anymore; it was being transformed into a trade fair inside and out. See the photos. This meant thousands of visitors, the majority of whom arrived by bus. The hotel was difficult to access; the reception was also barely reachable, requiring a queue of people to get to the elevators where there were huge lines. The restaurants had been relocated. None of this was communicated to me as a regular hotel guest, and while you hear "sorry, sorry" from the friendly staff. If I had known this before, I would have cancelled the booking. So, do not book in March or April unless you enjoy such a trade fair ;
