4-Star Hotels in Chongqing

I found a hidden gem of a hotel in Jiefangbei, and it exceeded all my expectations! 📍 The Ark Hotel (Jiefangbei Hongyadong Branch) has an unbeatable location, right outside Jiefangbei. My room directly overlooked the Jialing River, and opening the window revealed the dazzling nightscape of Mountain City. The twin towers in the distance glowed with a soft golden outline, creating an incredible atmosphere. The room boasted a sophisticated minimalist style, with furniture in rich wood tones complemented by luxurious Brazilian stone accents. The Serta mattress was incredibly soft – once I lay down, I didn't want to get up. My favorite part was the large bathtub; soaking in warm, bubbly water while gazing at the city lights outside instantly melted away all my travel fatigue. The hotel's public areas are also incredibly stylish. The dark-themed lobby with its crystal chandeliers and vintage sculptures makes for a perfect high-end photo op. And the beef brisket noodles for breakfast were so fragrant, especially with a freshly fried soft-boiled egg – a perfect way to power up for a day of exploring Mountain City. Being within walking distance of Jiefangbei and Hongyadong made getting around super convenient!

The location is fantastic, right next to Raffles City, and within walking distance to Jiefangbei and Hongyadong. It's incredibly convenient for sightseeing and shopping. The subway is also very close, so getting around is completely stress-free. The hotel is on a high floor, offering panoramic views through floor-to-ceiling windows. You can watch the sunset in the evening and enjoy the night views of the two rivers from your bed, overlooking the entire city – perfect for stunning photos! The room was spotless, and the bathroom had a great wet/dry separation with no odd smells. After a long day of travel, a good night's sleep here is incredibly refreshing. The toiletries were high-quality, and the attention to detail was evident. The front desk staff were gentle and patient, and check-in was very quick. The lobby design is simple yet sophisticated, and the common areas are clean and tidy.

Great location, dinner was good, but let down by malfunctioning hot water in the shower in 2 or the 3 rooms we booked.  We had only ice cold water from the shower. Thankfully it was rectified. In one of our rooms (2005) the shower stall glass sliding door had come off the rails, and could East have fallen on guests, causing serious injury from the weight of the door and broken glass. The check-in staff was very helpful, but the staff at breakfast on 6 Jan was quite unhelpful, and in fact started to argue about the prior breakfast arrangement our tour guide made with the hotel the previous day. Rather than saying she didn’t know and would check, she unilaterally decided the options were wanted (and had prepared the hotel for through our guide’s arrangements the previous day) were not available.

The location is fantastic! It's just three levels up from Jiefangbei, and on the ground floor, it's right by the river, next to Daijia Alley, Hongyadong, and Qianfo Mountain Bridge. Within 500 meters on the ground level, you can reach Kuixing Building, and another 500 meters up on the third level gets you to the Cableway North Station and the Eye of the Sky observation deck. Most of the core attractions in Yuzhong are within walking distance. The service is warm and friendly, and the facilities are well-equipped. They even leave the HDMI input unlocked on the TV, which is a rare and thoughtful touch. This hotel is truly excellent, highly recommended!

Easy to find and very close to Hongyadong. The room environment is great, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and the best part is having a washing machine and dryer, which is super convenient. The front desk is on the 25th floor, offering river views at any time, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. If I come back again, I'll definitely choose Espace again.

This hotel is located right across from Bayi Square and is also close to the subway. Stepping out, you're on Bayi Road Food Street, where you can find all sorts of local specialty snacks. The staff were very warm and attentive. When we arrived, they immediately offered us refreshing lemon and plum juice from the hotel's self-service, which was incredibly crisp and tasty. Housekeeping was prompt; they even helped us with laundry while we were out exploring. Food delivery riders can bring orders directly to your room. Honestly, if it's not too hot, a short walk will get you to a ton of great food options. You can easily walk to Jiefangbei and Hongyadong from here, and to get to Liziba, you can take Line 2. Across the street from the hotel, you get a great mountain view, and you can even spot the Golden Eagle. I highly recommend this place for anyone who loves food and exploring!

The hotel is right outside Jiefangbei, and close to popular attractions like Hongyadong and Shibati. The subway station is just a 5-minute walk away. The front desk staff were very welcoming and upgraded us to a family room for free. They even offered a late checkout until 2 PM. Any requests we had were promptly addressed. The 29th-floor restaurant offers a great variety of dishes, and there's a free laundry room which is very convenient. You can also enjoy the night view from there. Overall, we had a fantastic experience.

I was very satisfied with my stay this time! After checking into the hotel, I added the front desk staff on WeChat, which made communication very convenient. The front desk staff were very friendly, responsive, and quick to resolve any issues. They were always there to help with whatever I needed. A special thanks to the front desk for helping me sign for and return a Pinduoduo package – that was truly thoughtful! The hotel's location is also excellent, very close to Jiefangbei and other popular attractions, making getting around super easy. Overall, the stay was fantastic, and I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Chongqing. Highly recommended!

The location is super convenient, really close to the subway station. Our room was spotless, and the staff, especially the ladies at the front desk, were so kind and patient. You can walk to Jiefangbei in just ten minutes, and the Cloud Eye observation deck and Yangtze River Cableway are right nearby too. Plus, the room offered an absolutely amazing view for night photography!

This stay was absolutely wonderful! The apartment's location is superb, offering beautiful river views, and getting to major attractions is incredibly convenient. The front desk staff were polite and thoughtful, even proactively offering us a free room upgrade, which was a lovely surprise. The breakfast was plentiful, and the room was cleaned daily. The hotel has an underground garage with free parking. After checking out, we accidentally left a power bank in the room, and the staff promptly called us to let us know they found it and kept it safe for us. The room was comfortable, and the service was warm and responsible. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied and will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Chongqing!
