InterContinental Chongqing Raffles City

Chongqing's striking landmark
VERIFIED LUXURY

At InterContinental Chongqing Raffles City, the arrival experience is a distinctive part of the stay. You’ll head high above Chaotianmen Square to reach the lobby set inside the Crystal, a glass structure suspended between the towers of the Raffles City complex by renowned architect Moshe Safdie (whose work includes Marina Bay Sands and Jewel Changi Airport). Below, the Yangtze and Jialing rivers converge, while the city rises in every direction.

The 380 rooms and suites make the most of that setting, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the rivers, mountains and skyscrapers. Inside, the design is contemporary and soothing, with marble bathrooms, freestanding soaking tubs and luxurious touches such as Dyson hair dryers and Tivoli speakers.

Several restaurants and bars ensure you don’t have to wander far for a meal with a view. Look to Jing for Cantonese and Sichuan specialties and SHUA for a glass-floored terrace high above the city. An indoor infinity pool, spa and fitness center round out the facilities.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • InterContinental Chongqing Raffles City’s lobby sits inside the Crystal, the elevated glass structure connecting Raffles City's towers. Reaching reception means first heading high above the street, turning check-in into an introduction to the building itself.
  • The bountiful breakfast buffet includes Chinese and Western dishes, fresh juices and a live cooking station preparing local Chongqing noodles, making it easy to sample the specialty before heading out to explore.
  • Mix up your wellness routine with a swim in the 43rd-floor infinity pool overlooking the Yangtze River and Chongqing skyline.
  • Set 824 feet above the city amid an indoor forest, Botanica puts a street-food spin on dining with its “Houdai” concept, offering all-you-can-eat access to more than 100 international and local dishes.
  • The luxury hotel sits at the tip of the peninsula where the Yangtze and Jialing meet, with Raffles City shopping and dining below and Hongyadong reachable on foot. The location is convenient.

The Look

  • InterContinental Chongqing Raffles City is a hotel for architecture lovers. Safdie's Raffles City complex rises in eight towers, linked by the Crystal, whose horizontal form contrasts with the surrounding vertical skyscrapers.
  • Floor-to-ceiling windows run through the accommodations, turning the surrounding rivers, mountains and skyscrapers into constantly changing scenery.
  • Interiors use a contemporary palette of white, ivory and beige, allowing the skyline views through floor-to-ceiling windows to shine.
  • Horizon, the lobby lounge, uses live trees and greenery to create a garden-like atmosphere high above the city.
  • Rather than separating the Chongqing hotel from its surroundings, the design makes height a recurring theme, from the high-floor accommodations to the Crystal's elevated restaurants and sky terrace.
