NICCOLO CHENGDU'S NEW HOUSE BAND, CELESTIAL DUO, BRINGS ROMANTIC CHARM TO THE CITY'S NIGHTLIFE

Niccolo Chengdu

Hotel news, 30 March 2026
Chengdu, China, 30 March 2026 – With the arrival of spring, Niccolo Chengdu once again infuses the city's nightlife with a sense of romance. The Bar on the third floor of the hotel officially welcomes its new live band – the Celestial Duo. This duo, composed of South African vocalist Lulu and Colombian keyboardist and music producer Gaston, delivers velvety vocals and narrative-rich keyboard arrangements, offering a refreshing, new nightlife experience.

As night falls, the whisky bottles behind The Bar counter glow with refracted light, filling the space with amber hues, while the air is replete with hints of leather and the evocative essence of this historic city's rich past. At this very moment, the Celestial Duo takes the stage. Vocalist Lulu, who hails from the vibrant coasts of South Africa, mesmerises with a voice blending the languid allure of jazz and the power of soul music. Gaston, originating from Colombia, brings refined keyboard artistry and a cross-cultural music production background, combining Latin passion with urban vibrance to create a uniquely textured auditory experience. The ‘romantic mood’ their collaboration creates is not of boisterous revelry, but rather a sense of dialogue worth savoring after a state of light tipsiness.

The Bar features a limited-time ‘Buy One, Get One Free’ promotion on different themed cocktails from Tuesday to Sunday. Whether enjoying classic cocktails that pay homage to the Golden Age or creative concoctions that incorporate modern molecular techniques, guests can immerse themselves in a celebratory experience – a double delight of music from the Celestial Duo and refined drinks.
