ChongQing - InterContinental Hotel | Not Singapore. Not Marina Bay Sands. | Hotel Review

This is not Singapore, nor the Marina Bay Sands. This is Chongqing, home to the InterContinental Chongqing Raffles City. This is more than just a hotel; it is an urban marvel suspended 250 meters above the ground. Its design is the work of world-renowned architect Moshe Safdie, whose portfolio includes another iconic creation—the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. The structure before you is the "enhanced version" of that legendary concept. It is no longer a simple sky garden but a "crystal giant ship" integrated with eight towers. The 300-meter-long connecting corridor is both the main body of the architecture and the heart of the hotel. It echoes the historical confluence of the two rivers in Chongqing while defining the city's future skyline. This aerial palace was forged by CapitaLand, a real estate giant in Asia. The soul of its cloud-top service comes from the global hospitality benchmark—the InterContinental Hotels Group. This powerful collaboration aims to create an unparalleled destination. Lobby - Passing through the 42nd-floor sky lobby feels like stepping onto the deck of a colossal ship. Beneath the towering dome, the magnificent panorama of the Yuzhong Peninsula unfolds beneath your feet. Guest Rooms - Each room is a private observatory. The floor-to-ceiling windows never compromise on the view. The convergence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, along with the day and night scenes of the mountain city, becomes a flowing mural in your room. The gentle breeze from Dyson and the rich aroma of Nespresso define contemporary luxury in every detail. Executive Lounge - Offers all-day leisure moments with breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening happy hours. A bottle of Perrier-Jouët each night serves as the perfect nightcap, blending fine food, exquisite wine, and breathtaking views. "Voyage" Bar - One of the hotel's most famous photo spots. Located in the cantilevered section of the crystal corridor connecting the towers, its outdoor terrace resembles a ship's bow, offering an unparalleled vantage point for capturing the night views of Chongqing's two rivers. Sip a cocktail while overlooking the mountain city, immersing yourself in the vibrant atmosphere. Chongqing, this "8D magical city," is China's most cyberpunk-inspired metropolis of the future, the economic pulse of the upper Yangtze region, and a visual and sensory feast that global travelers must experience at least once. Hot pot is its signature, and the bold, spicy flavors are its soul.
