Hotels near Chaotianmen Square, Chongqing

Great location and living space. The location was central to all tourist spots and was just quiet enough to hail ride-share services without it being stressful. We shared a two-bedroom suite for 4 people and there was plenty of private space and sharing space. The hotel would always check in with us to see what we needed, gave us food recommendations, and warned us about tourist traps and scams. The living space was very home-y and comfy, so it was always nice to come back to that after a day of exploration. Highly recommend!

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!

Choosing the right hotel really makes traveling so much easier! The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and had no strange odors. The bedding was comfortable. The staff were very friendly and even turned on the air conditioning before we arrived. The hotel is close to the scenic spots, making it very convenient for getting around. The environment is quiet and safe, with excellent facilities and plenty of toiletries. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and it's definitely worth coming back to.

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.

I really need to vent about the service here. First, the good points: The location, ambiance, design, decor, and breakfast were all excellent. It's a beautiful, centuries-old building, entered through a side door next to a church – truly a hidden gem in the city. Everything started off wonderfully. Then, I was shocked by the service process. We had booked an activity and dinner a day in advance, but the staff member who was supposed to guide us the next day had no idea about it. It was my birthday, and I had informed the hotel beforehand. I appreciate them offering a complimentary birthday cake. However, I watched the employee walk for several minutes in the rain without an umbrella, carrying the cake. This meant the cake was exposed to the rain for that entire time. When it arrived in the room, it looked exactly like the picture – soggy and ruined. What should have been a nice bonus turned into a rather disappointing birthday memory. It feels like the staff training is only halfway done. They have all the right facilities, which makes the poor service even more regrettable.

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.

The hotel's location is quite good, surrounded by attractions, making it very convenient to visit Kuixing Tower and Daijia Lane. There are also many shopping malls nearby. Given the recent hot weather in Chongqing, the hotel thoughtfully provided an ice machine and ice water in the mini-fridge, which was incredibly considerate. The toiletries in the room were also well-stocked, including body lotion, shampoo, and shower gel. The location is excellent, making it easy to get anywhere, and the price is fair. The hotel facilities are comprehensive, especially the breakfast. The dining area offers a great ambiance with river views, and there's a wide variety of food. I would definitely stay here again.

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!

Top-notch view! ✨ Just checked out and I have to rave about this amazing guesthouse! The location is incredible, only a five-minute walk to the beach. Evening strolls watching the sunset were so therapeutic. The room was clean and cozy, and the smart home features were super convenient to use. The floor-to-ceiling windows framed the entire sea view perfectly, and waking up to the sun in the morning was pure bliss~ The owner even thoughtfully prepared local snacks and a travel guide. The value for money is absolutely fantastic, I'll definitely stay here again next time! 👍

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.
