Reviews

• Agarwal from United Arab Emirates – 6 April 2025 (8/10)

  Location
  
  What could be improved: The beds were very hard and firm.

• Helene from United Kingdom – 9 February 2025 (9/10)

  Best location in Chongqing
  
  What could be improved: Cold in the room, front desk can really speak English

• May from Singapore – 21 January 2025 (10/10)

  I have left some things behind after check out, to my surprise the hotel had it well pack and labelled it. I was able to retrieve my items after returning to the hotel after few days later.

• Tiffany from Australia – 8 January 2025 (10/10)

  Fantastic views, the lobby isn't on the ground floor so even the lobby has amazing views. Location is fantastic, a huge mall just downstairs, don't even need to go outside. 15mins walk to hongyadong, 30mins walk to jiefangbei square. Room was really spacious and the views were excellent!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing!

• Florence from Singapore – 4 January 2025 (8/10)

  Nice grand hotel with excellent view
  Typical of a 5 star international hotel
  Lack the personal touch as in smaller hotel
  
  What could be improved: None

• Dchua from Malaysia – 2 January 2025 (9/10)

  Facilities, countless restaurants for dinner, and location (with connecting malls)
  
  What could be improved: Reception staff at the lobby was too cold and always busy with their computers, twice I had to stand waiting to check-in or enquiry about the hotel, without anyone attended to me promptly. There was even a guy wandering behind the front desk, overseeing the reception staff without even looking at me to ask if I need anything, not once, but twice. I have had better and warm reception in nearby hotel.

• Christoph from United Arab Emirates – 27 December 2024 (10/10)

  Excellent guest service (the best I‘ve seen in China), great location, mega cool building

• Xiaofeng from Canada – 15 December 2024 (10/10)

  Great location. Close to attractions and cruise terminals. Room was clean and comfortable. Breathtaking view from the window. Lots of choices for breakfast. Plus there is a shopping mall on the lower floors of the building. Convenient for both shopping and dining.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing I can think of

• Chor from Singapore – 3 November 2024 (9/10)

  Wonderful, modern and near all major attractions.
  
  What could be improved: The concierge was nowhere to be located when we arrived, our arrival being 3 am and we were very tired. Took us a while to locate the check in lobby which is on a much higher level.

• Paul from United Kingdom – 27 September 2024 (9/10)

  The very quintessence of an international chain hotel, with the very best that IHG can showcase: opulent design, architectural drama, jaw-dropping views, charming staff and faultless service. The breakfasts were astonishing and our light supper at Shua quite delicious
  
  What could be improved: Obviously not one for people who prefer an individualised, boutique hotel experience. The predictability of the IHG experience which is a key attraction of chain hotels in its class can also become its downfall. As with much in life, it’s a matter of horses for courses
