Buddha Zen Hotel

Jump to:

Buddha Zen has adopted the spirit of Buddhism and has created a harmonious environment for its guests away from the busy city streets. Set around a courtyard, its brick and dark wood building has a traditional style that feels refreshing in such a modern city. 

While staying here, you can enjoy vegetarian meals in Rong Zhai Restaurant, relax in the sauna in Zi Zai Spa and learn about China's tea-making history in Jian Cha Teahouse. The spacious and bright rooms are decorated elegantly with traditional embroideries, antiques and dark wood furniture, while still offering modern amenities. 

OUR OPINION:

Housed in a traditional courtyard-style building, we think Buddha Zen is the perfect balance between old and new, offering guests a relaxed stay among the bustling city streets of Chengdu.
