What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The hotel takes the lower 28 floors of a taller building on Minsheng Road; rooms are polished and spacious with city views.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The People's Liberation Monument is a three-minute walk away, surrounded by pedestrian shopping streets and traditional hot pot alleys.
The rooms
Spacious interiors provide a calm base above the bustle. Higher room tiers include access to the private twenty-eighth-floor executive lounge.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor pool sits beneath an illuminated glass skylight, and treadmills in the gym face panoramic city windows.
Restaurant
Qing Kitchen
Live cooking stations prepare Chongqing specialties and international dishes in an open dining room beside the terrace.
At the table
Man Ho serves Cantonese and Sichuan dishes in plush private rooms, and The Lounge pours cocktails downstairs.
How it began
The tower replaces the historic Chongqing Guesthouse, which stood here from the 1950s after hosting wartime allied forces.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
