Modern-Chinese design luxury (Hyatt's Unbound Collection) right on Dongdajie — basically on top of the gay-club strip.
The Langbo Chengdu (瑯珀, part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt) is the smart choice if you want luxury within stumbling distance of the clubs. It occupies the upper floors of a ~250m landmark tower at 东大街芷泉段258号 in Jinjiang, overlooking the Jin River — and Monster House and The Butterfly are essentially downstairs on Dongdajie, with Taikoo Li and Chunxi Road a short walk away.
The design is a real draw: a jade theme (the stone of the Chinese gentleman), interiors by the celebrated YANG studio, an open tea house in place of the usual lobby lounge, a ballroom inspired by Sichuan-opera face-painting, and an indoor pool with a mirrored 'starry-sky' ceiling. Rooms come with floor-to-ceiling river and city views.
It's a polished, design-forward five-star (no specific LGBT branding, but a major international flag) that suits couples and design-minded travellers who want to be able to walk home from the bars. Reckon on luxury-tier rates.
