Staying in Chengdu a Month?
8 Serviced Apartments with a Kitchen for Work, Study & Long Stays

We open with the best long-stay fit on the list — Fraser Suites Chengdu (listed on Trip.com as Fraser Place) scores 9.6/10 from over 2,190 real reviews, the highest here. It's a Frasers Hospitality serviced apartment in the heart of Gaoxin CBD, Chengdu's business and tech core where international companies cluster. Every unit has a full kitchen, a washer/dryer and a separate living area, and it sits inside the Poly Time Edition complex, a walk from the SKP and Global Center malls. People here for work repeatedly praise the attentive staff and the clean, spacious rooms. The one thing to know: Gaoxin is in the south of the city, not the old tourist quarter — if you're here mainly to sightsee you'll ride the Metro in, but if you're here to work, this is the location you want.

If you want a serviced apartment with a full kitchen at a lighter price than Fraser — Citadines Gaoxin is the best value in the work zone, scoring 9.4/10 from over 1,085 reviews, of which 1,074 are positive. Citadines is the Ascott/CapitaLand serviced-apartment brand; every unit has a full kitchen with pots, plates and cutlery, a washer/dryer and a separate living area. Guests on business trips repeatedly mention the friendly front-desk staff and a good breakfast. Like Fraser, it's in the heart of the High-tech Zone CBD, near Lines 1 and 5. The one thing to know: the Metro station is about 800 metres away — walkable, but further than the properties right at a station — and it's a business area, not a tourist district.

Another option in the work zone, scoring level with Citadines — Somerset Gaoxin takes 9.4/10 from over 874 reviews. Somerset is an Ascott serviced-apartment brand like Citadines; every unit has a kitchen and a washer/dryer, set in a mixed complex of offices, shops and residences in the South High-tech Zone. What guests like to mention is the meticulous staff and a robot that delivers food right to the door, with plenty of casual chain restaurants downstairs for when you don't feel like cooking. The one thing to know: Century City station is about a 10-minute walk, further than station-side options, and like the other Gaoxin picks it's a southern business area, not a tourist district.

If your budget stretches and you want a true five-star serviced apartment right at a Metro station with a mall below — Ascott Raffles City is the premium pick on the list, scoring 9.3/10 and ranked #27 of 1,454 Chengdu hotels on Tripadvisor. Ascott is the group's flagship brand, with 298 units from studio to four-bedroom penthouse, each with a full kitchen, a separate living-dining area and a washer/dryer. It sits in the Raffles City complex with a mall below and the Sichuan Gymnasium Line 1 station right there. International guests especially mention the English-speaking, warm staff. The one thing to know: it's the highest per-night rate in the group (though the monthly rate comes down a lot), and some reviews say the kitchen comes lightly equipped — if you cook seriously you may need to buy a few plates and pans.

Fraser has two properties in Chengdu, and this is the other one — Fraser Residence, scoring 9.3/10 from over 1,779 reviews. It's the smaller sibling to Fraser Suites but still a full serviced apartment, with 185 units from studio to three-bedroom, each with a full kitchen and an all-in-one washer/dryer. It sits in the High-tech Zone/Wuhou area near Global Center and the Financial City CBD — good if you're working in the finance district. Many reviews call it 'a three-star price for a five-star room', praising the friendly staff and clean rooms. The one thing to know: like the other Gaoxin picks it's a southern business area, not a tourist district, and it's a different building from Fraser Suites (which scores higher), so check carefully when you book.

If you want to settle in for a while but not in a dry southern CBD — Somerset Riverview has the nicest setting, right on the Jinjiang River, scoring 9.2/10 from over 1,102 reviews. It's a Somerset (Ascott) brand; every unit has a full kitchen and a washer, and there's an indoor pool, gym, sauna and steam room — more facilities than most on this list. Many units look onto the river, and you can stroll the riverside in the evening. It's closer to the city centre than Gaoxin and a five-minute walk from Huaxiba on Line 1. Guests repeatedly praise the warm staff and the riverside location. The one thing to know: some reviews say the furniture looks a touch dated (though kept clean), and there are fewer restaurants nearby than in a CBD.

If you want a long stay but truly in the city centre, not a southern CBD — Lanson Place Tianfu is the most central serviced apartment on the list, scoring 9.2/10, a five-minute walk from Luomashi on Lines 1/4. It's a five-star from Lanson Place (opened 2017); every unit has a full kitchen and a washer/dryer, plus an indoor pool and an indoor playground. Guests like to mention the excellent service and the spacious, clean rooms. Being near Tianfu Square, it's an easy walk to Chunxi Road or Kuanzhai Alley or a quick Metro ride anywhere — ideal if you've brought a family and want easy sightseeing too. The one thing to know: it has fewer total reviews than the Gaoxin properties (a premium location used by a narrower long-stay crowd), and the per-night rate runs high — but the monthly rate comes down to good value.

We close with the pick for IT and tech workers — Citadines South sits in the heart of the Tianfu New Area, a two-minute walk from Tianfu Software Park and the Metro, scoring 9.4/10. It's a Citadines (Ascott) brand like the Gaoxin one; every unit has a full kitchen with pots, an oven and cookware, plus a separate living area. Guests praise the spacious rooms, the good layout and how easy it is to get around by Metro or taxi, with restaurants and a cocktail bar downstairs. Its standout is sitting right by Tianfu Software Park — ideal if you're working with a tech firm there. The one thing to know: it has fewer reviews so far (158), as it's less known to international guests, and the Tianfu New Area is at the far south, a fair way from the old tourist quarter.
