This is my second visit to Chongqing, and I chose the InterContinental Raffles City again, mainly because I craved this view. My room was on the 50th floor, and as soon as the automatic blinds opened, the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers converged beneath my feet, with Hongyadong and Qiansimen Bridge framed perfectly! This image will stay with me for a long time! I also recommend a dip in the heated infinity pool on the 43rd floor, which overlooks the Yangtze River; swimming with the skyline view truly feels like floating. **Location & View:** Raffles City Tower 4N, with that 'cloud-top' feeling from floors 44-65. The Sky Lobby on the 42nd floor is a tourist attraction in itself, with greenery and a curved front desk mirroring the river, and the skybridge offers 360° views of the mountain city. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the river-view rooms directly face the confluence of the two rivers. You can watch boats during the day, and at night, see Hongyadong lit up and the traffic flowing across Qiansimen Bridge. Taking a bath in the tub facing the window makes this Chongqing trip half worth it already. **Service:** This needs a separate mention. Two afternoons before check-in, I received a call from the concierge department, asking about my check-in requirements and details. They asked if I was driving and if I needed a video of the underground parking route (they actually sent a super detailed one later!). If you're traveling with children, they even proactively asked if we needed kids' slippers and toiletries. The Executive Lounge's Happy Hour offers enough to eat, and the Chongqing noodles at breakfast are freshly made to order. Downstairs, you have Chaotianmen Metro Station and Hongyadong within walking distance, which is very convenient for those who prefer not to walk far. This is a landmark hotel in Chongqing, definitely worth it for both the view and the service. I highly recommend Shua Bar! Their seasonal cocktails are super delicious and unique! And, to top it off, they even gave me a small souvenir gift when I checked out! I plan to stay at InterContinental again on my next trip to Chongqing.
