It is a great pleasure to share my personal and professional experience in Chengdu with you.
Chengdu is a city that is full of opportunities, and it is also very beautiful. I would definitely invite my friends and family to come and have a look.
This year marks my tenth year here in Chengdu. Born and raised in Hong Kong, I share many characteristics of Hong Kong people, such as working hard and staying optimistic.

Chengdu, capital city of the Sichuan province is a territory of our constituency and a second home to me.
My name is Richard Deutl,originally from Austria, having worked for Starwood Hotels & Resorts for 28 years and almost 10 years in China and proud to serve as General Manager of The St. Regis Chengdu which opened on 4th of September 2014, exactly 110 years after the first St. Regis New York.
My first encounter with Chengdu was a misty weekend in November. My company had suggested that to further my career I might consider relocating to Chengdu from Beijing, and before jumping into the assignment, I wanted to see what I would be getting into.
In January 2008, I decided to pack my bags and move to Chengdu to build a studio from the ground up, starting with fresh graduates and a handful of senior people.
I have visited China a number of times over the past 25 years, but did not come to Sichuan until I arrived as Consul General in 2014.
I don’t live in Chengdu, but I’m enough of a frequent visitor to feel quite at home each time I do visit.
