In Chongqing! Discovered an ultra-cool hotel

The Westin Chongqing Liberation Square During my trip to Chongqing, I finally splurged on my long-awaited stay at The Westin Chongqing Liberation Square, and it absolutely didn't disappoint! From the moment I stepped in, I was completely captivated by the city's unique magical vibe. 📍 Prime location + unbeatable river views Located on Xinhua Road in Yuzhong District, right in the city center! The Xiaoshizi Station of Metro Line 1 is just downstairs, with Hongya Cave only a 5-minute walk away, and Jiefangbei and the Yangtze River Cable Car within walking distance. At night, the room's window offers a panoramic view of the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, with the brilliantly lit Qiansimen Bridge and the staggered cityscape showcasing Chongqing's 8D magic to the fullest—it's like a scene from a movie! 🛏️ A sense of ceremony in the clouds The lobby's high ceilings immediately impressed me, with crystal chandeliers and mountain city-themed decorations exuding artistic flair. During check-in, the staff thoughtfully offered me a loquat syrup drink, a local specialty, instantly easing my travel fatigue. Upgraded to a river-view suite, I couldn't help but gasp when I opened the door! Floor-to-ceiling windows covered almost the entire wall, offering a bird's-eye view of the two rivers from the bed. The bathtub also faced the window, making a night soak with the city lights pure bliss. The room even had a complimentary Nespresso machine—sipping coffee in the morning while watching sunlight dance on the river was pure happiness. 🏊 Heavenly wellness facilities The rooftop infinity pool is definitely the hotel's highlight! Suspended on the 54th floor, swimming here offers a panoramic view of the mountain city, and the photos are instant social media hits. There's also a heated whirlpool nearby—perfect for relaxing while gazing at the river. The fitness center is fully equipped with treadmills and ellipticals, and the city views through the windows make workouts enjoyable. The biggest surprise was discovering a hidden sky deck with 360-degree views of Chongqing—even locals would envy this nighttime vista! 🍜 A taste of Chongqing on the tongue The breakfast at the hotel's Seasonal Tastes restaurant is incredible! Beyond the usual Western options, there's authentic Chongqing noodles, where you can customize your bowl with peas, minced pork, and chili—absolutely delicious. For dinner, I tried the happy hour at the executive lounge, with unlimited snacks and drinks, including mouthwatering spicy chicken and cold noodles. Before leaving, I even took home some of the hotel's homemade hotpot base as a souvenir—bringing a taste of Chongqing back with me. Super practical tips: 1️⃣ Definitely book a high-floor river-view room—the higher, the better the view, especially at night! 2️⃣ Visit the rooftop pool at dusk to capture both the sunset and the city lights in one shot. 3️⃣ The hotel offers free shuttle service to attractions like Jiefangbei and Hongya Cave—just book with the concierge in advance. 4️⃣ So many great eats nearby, including Bayi Road Food Street and Lichuanshi Skewers—save room for them!
