Kempinski Hotels in Chongqing

Traveling solo to Chongqing, I once again chose the chain luxury hotel, Kempinski. During check-in, I mentioned to the front desk that I hoped to have a view of the Mountain City. The front desk kindly arranged a high-floor room for me with mountain views and a glimpse of the river. Although the decor is a bit dated, it still maintains a five-star standard, and the price is reasonable. I particularly want to praise the hotel's mattress and pillows; they're quite similar to Westin's Heavenly Bed, ensuring a great night's sleep that leaves you refreshed for the next day. The hotel is located in Nan'an, which isn't as overly commercialized as Yuzhong District. Plus, there are many excellent hotpot restaurants right next to the hotel. Getting around by taxi is easy, and thankfully, taxi fares in Chongqing are quite reasonable. The turndown service was very thoughtful; they even specially filled the ice bucket with ice. My only minor gripe is that, aside from the complimentary bottled water, everything else in the room comes with a price tag, giving the impression that the room itself is a showroom for sale.
