Pentahotel also has plans for a massive expansion in Chengdu, with openings of three properties in the city next year.

The first Pentahotel to land in the city in March will be Pentahotel Chengdu Convention Centre, located in Tianfu District. Situated in the new CBD area, the hotel will be a five-minute drive away from the Century City Convention Centre, as well as New Century Global Centre, the world’s largest building in terms of floor size, housing a number of boutiques and stores, a Mediterranean village, a water park, and an ice-skating rink. The new Pentahotel will have 265 guestrooms, a pentalounge, six meeting rooms and a pentagym. The hotel will also feature a library lounge in the lobby area. Other highlights include the “penta PlayerPad” and private gamer gadgets, such as the PlayStation 4, along with retro pinball machines in the suites.

The second property in the city, Pentahotel Chengdu, will be in the business region of Chunxi Road. Shopping centre Taikoo Li will be a short five-minute walk away, while the Jinjiang River area, Jiuyanqiao Bar Street and Lan Kwai Fong Chengdu will take about ten minutes to reach.

This Pentahotel has 303 guestrooms, sporting the brand’s signature design with a contemporary rustic decor that also blends with local cultural references. In addition to the pentalounge, the new property will feature a restaurant, a library lounge, three meeting rooms, a pentagym and a rooftop bar.
