5-Star Hotels in Chongqing

I never expected to find such a warm and inviting hotel hidden away in Ciqikou Ancient Town. Traveling with kids, finding the right room type is always a headache, but the family room we booked this time was perfect – the beds were big enough, the space was generous, and my child didn't want to get out of the bathtub. Even better, you can take a taxi directly to the main entrance, and there's an underground parking lot too. It's so convenient, it hardly feels like you're in an ancient town. In the center of the courtyard is a pavilion, surrounded by small stools. When the fire was lit, a singer played guitar in the pavilion. I sat by the fire with a craft beer in hand, feeling the warmth on my face, and my mind just emptied – I wasn't thinking about anything, just the crackling of the firewood. In that moment, it felt like I was sitting in an old courtyard deep in the mountains, where time slowed down enough to hear my own heartbeat. Xiao Qing and Xiao Tuo at the front desk were also very attentive, reminding us about the fire and singing in the evening when we checked in. The hotel is called 'Yueyin Chongqing Courtyard', and it's such a fitting name. It truly feels like a hidden courtyard in the city, full of life and human touch. Next time I come to Chongqing, I'll probably detour here just for this fire again.

Whenever I go to Chongqing, I always visit Guanghuan Plaza, which reminded me of this hotel nearby. After checking in, all I can say is that I got a five-star hotel experience for less than 800 yuan. First, let's talk about the room layout: two 1.35-meter single beds can be combined to form a massive 2.7-meter double bed. This is perfect if you're staying with kids – plenty of space. The room also has a bathtub, and crucially, it came with disposable bathtub liners (I forget the exact term!). Plus, the children's amenities provided were really good quality, not just an afterthought. What's even more impressive is that they placed dental floss right on the vanity – all the little touches were delightful. The product manager truly deserves commendation. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Chongqing. Oh, and the breakfast buffet was excellent too, with a wide variety of delicious food. What really blew me away was finding steamed red dates at a buffet for the first time – that's a treat I usually only get at home!

As a long-time Marriott loyalist, I have mixed feelings and want to give an objective review: First, the pros: 1. Excellent service. The doormen downstairs were proactive, offering umbrellas, opening car doors, and helping with luggage! Because it was rainy and humid in Chongqing, customer service helped me choose a few rooms. They then brought me a dehumidifier and arranged for my bedding to be dried. This deserves praise. Service gets 5 stars. 2. The room is very spacious. It's rare to find such a large room at this price! Very suitable for families! You can cook, and there's a washer and dryer in the room, which is a huge convenience! 3. Overall clean and hygienic. Although the facilities are a bit old, the cleanliness standards are very high! All the above positives come from the service team. Kudos to you! Now for the cons - addressed to the management team: 1. On rainy days, the room had a musty smell. This smell made me seriously doubt this was a Marriott; even the hallway felt comfortable, but once inside the room, it was unbearable! I checked out after one night. 2. The bed pillows are too high! I didn't sleep well all night. I strongly recommend changing the pillows! Take a cue from Atour! The pillows were also damp and cold! 3. Given the rainy weather in Chongqing, although a dehumidifier was provided, its effect was indeed minimal. A portable blanket dryer should be prepared! [I've included a photo of it] 4. The shower in the bathroom is truly difficult to use! Not only is it easy to mistakenly turn to cold water, but after applying shower gel, it gets very slippery, and you simply can't turn the round faucet! I was just standing in the shower, frustrated! [You should try it yourselves]

This is our third stay here since our child goes to school nearby. The hotel's basic facilities are still pretty good. This time we skipped breakfast, but I remember it being quite varied with some Chongqing specialty snacks. On our first day, they even sent up fruit and a tremella soup. The manager also called to check on our stay experience. My only regret is the lack of a smart toilet.

🏮Located inside a renovated church down a long winding stair alley, this hotel was the definition of a hidden gem. If you didn’t know it existed, you definitely wouldn’t know it was there. The rooms were extremely spacious, with high ceilings, beautifully considered decor, and refined aesthetics. I’d say the rooms were way better than the pictures. ⛪️✨ 📸 The hotel offers a free travel photography service. You can have your hair/makeup/outfit done professionally for an additional charge but we wore our own stuff. Zihao (子豪) came to take photos of us on our second day and they turned out absolutely stunning!! The entire process took about an hour and he was incredibly professional, kind, and funny; and took the time to work with us through the language barrier using a translator app on his phone. You get a certain number of free photos, but we ended up buying almost the entire photo set with minimal editing from him because they turned out so good. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip. I will treasure the photos he took of my mom forever. 🍴 Breakfast is included and there’s a full service bar for guests where you can get free soft drinks and freshly cut fruit throughout the day. The hotel will also deliver a soup to your room in the evening (called night service? I think?) and it was really delicious. I have no photos of that because we ate it too fast. 😋 🧳 📝 The entrance of the hotel is a bit of a far- the nearest car drop-off point is Lingshi Alley No.8, Yuzhong Chongqing, and from there, you have to walk 3-4 flights of stairs down an alley to get to the entrance of the church. The hotel will message you ahead to help you with your luggage (and they’re extremely nice! Two of the staff helped us get our suitcases to our car at 5am when we had to leave very early 😵💫) but if you have any accessibility needs or difficulties walking up and down stairs, or just have a ton of luggage, this might not be the hotel for you 🚙😥 🌸 Overall, stunning hotel & amazing staff who you can message anytime on WeChat if you need anything. It feels like quiet escape in the middle of a super bustling crazy city. I would come back 100% if I was in Chongqing again. Thank you for everything!

Pros: The breathtaking views of Jinyun Mountain and the Jialing River are truly exceptional from this location. The hot spring facilities are also impressive, with a good variety of pools and a cleverly designed, intricate layout. Cons: The hotel's hardware facilities are quite outdated. For this price point, the hotel could definitely learn from the operational standards of top-tier brands. Furthermore, the breakfast selection is limited, and the toiletries in the room are of poor quality – these are areas with significant room for improvement. Large sections of wooden panels in the public areas are discolored or in disrepair. Overall: If you're looking for value for money, you might want to reconsider. However, if budget isn't an issue and you prioritize experiencing the beautiful scenery and hot springs, it's definitely worth a visit. Finally, the complimentary travel photoshoot provided by the hotel was a nice touch, and I'd like to commend the photographer, Zixuan, for her excellent service.

Discovered a hidden gem in Chongqing! The Four Points by Sheraton Chongqing. Located in the prime Jiefangbei area, just steps from the pedestrian street, surrounded by all sorts of delicious food and attractions. The rooms are modern and minimalist, with good natural light, ensuring a perfect night's sleep. Edward provided excellent service, even giving a souvenir. The breakfast offered a great mix of local flavors and Western light meals. No need to rush around and waste energy; you can fully immerse yourself in exploring this mountain city. Friends planning a trip to Chongqing can definitely go for this one – five-star recommendation!

My stay at the Westin Chongqing Jiefangbei was absolutely perfect! The location is fantastic – right downstairs, you'll find Jiefangbei and Bayi Road Food Street, and Hongyadong is just a short walk away. The high-floor, panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning two-river night views right from your bed, and the Heavenly Bed was so soft and comfortable for a great night's sleep. The 54th-floor infinity pool has breathtaking views, and the staff were warm and attentive. Check-in was efficient, the room was clean and tidy, and the breakfast included authentic Chongqing noodles. This is definitely my top choice for a vacation in Chongqing!

The location is fantastic, making getting around super easy. Ziwei Road is right across the street, so grabbing a Heytea is incredibly convenient! In the evening, after a drink or two, it's just a two-minute walk back to the hotel. The room was clean, the bedding was soft and comfy against the skin, and the soundproofing was excellent – I slept soundly all night. The breakfast selection was quite diverse and totally exceeded my expectations; it felt like incredible value for money. Besides the usual Chinese and Western options, I highly recommend the freshly made noodles – they were delicious, and you can customize the spice level yourself. Overall, the experience was great. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in Chongqing!

My stay at Le Méridien Chongqing, Nan’an was excellent. The hotel's overall ambiance is tranquil and elegant, with tasteful soft furnishings that add a touch of quality. The public areas are meticulously maintained and organized. The front desk staff were warm and efficient; Freya, in particular, made the check-in process smooth and even introduced the AI voice guide, which was a thoughtful touch. Room service was prompt, and the attention to detail made me feel very comfortable. The room layout was well-designed with plenty of natural light, and the facilities were well-maintained. The bedding was dry and comfortable, and the toiletries were of good quality. The hotel is centrally located in Nan’an, making transportation convenient, with plenty of restaurants and shopping malls nearby. The heated pool had ample opening hours, perfect for some relaxation. Parking was very convenient for those driving, ensuring a worry-free trip. The service was superb! I highly recommend staying here.
