IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed an agreement with Newhope Real Estate to bring the Regent brand to Chengdu, marking the brand’s debut in the city. The hotel is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2029.
Regent Chengdu will occupy Levels 39 through 48 of a 233-meter tower in Jinjiang District, near Chunxi Road, Tianfu Square and the city’s historic commercial core. The hotel will include 180 guestrooms and suites with views of the city skyline and the Jinjiang River. It is located within the D10 Wangjiang development.
“Chengdu has long been a key market for IHG in Greater China and is also home to our West China regional headquarters,” Daniel Aylmer, CEO of Greater China, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “As a gateway to Southwest China, the city brings together rich cultural heritage, a vibrant consumer market and strong potential for luxury hospitality growth. Regent’s debut in Chengdu marks an important milestone for the brand while further strengthening our luxury presence in the region. Together with Newhope Real Estate, we look forward to creating a landmark hotel that captures the distinctive character of Chengdu while delivering Regent’s signature experience. We remain committed to creating meaningful stays for our guests and long-term value for our hotel owners.”
“We are delighted to partner with IHG on the development of Regent Chengdu,” said Jiang Mengjun, chairman and president of Newhope Real Estate. “As a company rooted in this city, we are committed to contributing to Chengdu’s continued evolution and creating destinations that connect the city with the world. Located within the D10 Wangjiang development, Regent Chengdu reflects our vision of bringing world-class hospitality to Chengdu while celebrating the city’s distinctive character. Together with IHG, we look forward to creating a destination where guests can experience the city through Regent’s refined approach to modern luxury.”
