Jinxi Aerial Riverview Hotel – Chongqing Jiefangbei Hongya Cave

Jinxi Aerial Riverview Hotel – Chongqing Jiefangbei Hongya Cave Overview

First Impressions

When you step out of the elevator on the 29th floor of the Chongbin Business Building, you know you’re in for something special at Jinxi Aerial Riverview Hotel – Chongqing Jiefangbei Hongya Cave. The name pretty much tells you everything — this four-star property is all about those sweeping river views that make Chongqing so mesmerizing. I mean, being positioned this high up in Yu Zhong district puts you right in the thick of things, but with the kind of perspective that makes the bustling city below look almost peaceful.

Location & What’s Around

You’re literally in the heart of everything here — Jiefangbei pedestrian street is practically at your doorstep, and Hongya Cave (that Instagram-famous stilted building complex) is close enough that you can walk there in minutes. What I love about this spot is how you get the best of both worlds: you’re surrounded by the energy of Chongqing’s main commercial district, but you’re elevated enough to escape the street-level chaos. The couples who stay here seem to get it — there’s something romantic about watching the Yangtze River wind through the city while the neon lights start flickering on below.

The Room Experience

The room itself delivers on that “aerial riverview” promise, and honestly, the floor-to-ceiling windows are the real star here. You’ll find yourself just standing there watching the river traffic and the city’s famous bridge lights — it’s kind of hypnotic, actually. The rooms are well-appointed for a four-star property, with modern amenities that work reliably (always a plus when you’re dealing with Chinese hotels). The beds are comfortable enough, and the bathrooms are clean and functional, though nothing too fancy.

Breakfast & Practical Matters

Breakfast here covers all the bases with Asian options, a decent buffet spread, and — this is smart — breakfast to go if you’re rushing out to catch an early river cruise or beat the crowds at the nearby attractions. The Asian breakfast items are actually quite good, with proper congee and local Chongqing specialties that give you a real taste of the region. There’s parking available right at the hotel, which is honestly a godsend in this part of the city where finding a spot can be a nightmare.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it balances accessibility with that elevated experience — you’re close enough to walk to Hongya Cave for dinner, hit the shopping areas, or catch a river taxi, but you return to this peaceful perch above it all. The 8.3 rating makes sense when you consider the combination of location, views, and solid service. It’s not trying to be the fanciest hotel in Chongqing, but it nails what most travelers actually want: a comfortable base with killer views and easy access to the city’s highlights. Plus, there’s something satisfying about watching the sunset paint the river golden while you plan your next day’s adventures.

Chongqing’s hotels weave misty infinity pools, aerial tram access, and concierge-led stairway walks through hillside barrios.

  Kamers zeer Hightech en verzorgd. Personeel behulpzaam maar Engels absoluut minimaal.
  
  What could be improved: Zéér Chinees. Bvb geen koffie op de kamer en ook niet te krijgen, enkel zeer goede losse groene thee. Zelfs aan het ontbijt géén koffie of enig andere westerse optie.
