Ascott Raffles City Chongqing

Ascott Raffles City Chongqing Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Ascott Raffles City Chongqing, you immediately sense you’re somewhere special — this five-star property sits right in the heart of Yu Zhong district, and honestly, the location alone is worth the stay. The lobby has that polished luxury feel without being intimidating, and the staff genuinely seem happy to see you. I mean, when couples consistently rate the location 9.8 out of 10, you know there’s something remarkable about where this place sits in the city.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about staying at Ascott Raffles City Chongqing — you’re literally in the middle of everything that matters in Chongqing. The Raffles City complex itself is this massive shopping and business hub, so you can grab dinner, do some shopping, or handle business meetings without even leaving the building. But step outside, and you’re surrounded by the energy of Yu Zhong district with its neon-lit streets and incredible hotpot restaurants just minutes away. The Yangtze River views from certain parts of the hotel are actually stunning, especially at night when the city lights reflect off the water.

The Accommodations

The serviced apartments here feel more like luxury homes than hotel rooms — spacious, modern, and equipped with everything you’d need for a short stay or extended visit. What struck me most was the attention to detail in the furnishings and the floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the city perfectly. You get a full kitchen if you want to cook (though with Chongqing’s food scene, I’m not sure why you would), and the beds are genuinely comfortable. The bathrooms are sleek and well-designed, with that rainfall shower that actually works properly.

Dining & Amenities

The breakfast buffet is where this place really shines — it’s extensive without being overwhelming, with both international options and local Sichuan specialties that give you a proper taste of the region. I actually found myself looking forward to breakfast each morning, which doesn’t happen often. The fitness center and pool area maintain that same luxury standard throughout the property, and there’s something refreshing about having free private parking in a city where finding a spot can be a real headache.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back to Ascott Raffles City Chongqing is how it manages to be both a luxury retreat and a practical base for exploring the city.

Whether you’re here for business meetings in the financial district or planning to explore Chongqing’s famous food scene, you’ll find yourself perfectly positioned. It’s the kind of place where everything just works smoothly, from the moment you check in until you reluctantly have to leave.

  The facilities are very new and all things are modern and efficient. Shopping next door is very convenient. Service is excellent for booking a day trip to WuLong by taxi; free luggage delivery to the train station was a bonus, super convenient for our last day in Chongqing. Also, the wheelchair was provided during our stay as requested. Kudos to the excellent and friendly reception team including Sophie and Zoe!
