The nearest and most accessible entry point to the city center is Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG), located just 19.93 km away. It is the only international airport in the group and offers the most efficient ground transportation, with the CRT metro line 10 being the budget-friendly choice and local taxis providing the fastest 30-40 minute journey. Other airports in the whitelist, including Chongqing Xiannvshan Airport (CQW), Zunyi Maotai Airport (WMT), Dazhou Jinya Airport (DZH), and Luzhou Yunlong Airport (LZO), are significantly further from the city center, ranging from 111 km to over 185 km away. These domestic airports primarily serve regional traffic and require much longer transit times, often involving a combination of regional coaches, intercity taxi services, or high-speed rail connections from nearby hubs like Neijiang. Travelers should prioritize CKG for ease of access to downtown. If arriving at regional airports, confirm your intercity travel arrangements in advance, as public transport options to Chongqing central districts are limited and time-intensive compared to urban transit systems.

I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. Everyone was so nice and kind. The service was top- notch. The amenities were plenty and easy accessible. A few extras that made everything worth it were the full- sized refrigerator, with freezer, the washing machine (for which they provided soap as well), dish washer, stove top, towel drier ( in the washroom) and full sized closet. The view was so beautiful and calming as well. Everything about this room was just so nice and exactly what I needed.
I didn’t realize how perfect the location was in relation to almost everything that I wanted to see. When I figured that out, I just got up every day and walked to everything that I needed or wanted to see. It was extremely close to a lot of restaurants, malls, local shops and smaller attractions. I was less than a 10 -15 minute walk to Raffles City Shopping Center where there is a 5 story mall, Movie theatre, roof top attraction with the swing, SKY WALK and also the river front park with amazing views. Same distance for Hongyadong, the viewing platform, the Qiansemen Bridge- if you wanted to walk across the bridge at night- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! There is so much to see and experience between the hotel and these attractions. Your days will be filled with fun and adventure.
If ever I have the opportunity to come back to the city, I will very excited to repeat this experience. FromUS$71

The hotel front desk service was excellent, and the breakfast was incredibly rich and delicious. All the staff were very friendly. I stay at this hotel every time I visit Chongqing, and the breakfast, especially the Chongqing noodles, is a highlight. The noodles taste fantastic, and you can even adjust the spice level yourself – how can you visit Chongqing without trying its noodles? It's also very close to Guanyin Bridge and North Station, so the location is superb and very convenient for getting around. This will definitely be my go-to place every time I visit. The guest services were very enthusiastic, guiding us to the elevators and helping with our luggage. 333 – fantastic!FromUS$34

I stayed at Glenview ITC Plaza Chongqing for 12 nights (June 8–20, 2026) while visiting my family in Chongqing, and it was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had.
The hotel is in a great location. My room was spacious, comfortable, and exceptionally clean. However, what truly made this stay unforgettable was the outstanding hospitality of the hotel staff.
I would especially like to thank Ms. Lin Yan, who cleaned my room every day. She was incredibly responsible and meticulous. My room was always spotless and beautifully organized. The hotel also surprised me with a fresh fruit plate every two days, which was a thoughtful and welcoming touch.
I also want to express my sincere appreciation to Huimin, the concierge, whose warm, professional, and attentive service made my stay even more enjoyable.
There was also a young gentleman at the front entrance who wore glasses. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask for his name, but I will never forget his kindness. When I arrived on June 8, he helped carry my two large suitcases to my room. On June 20, when I checked out around 11:50 a.m., it was raining. He kindly went outside to help me find a taxi in the rain and carefully loaded both of my heavy suitcases into the taxi. I didn’t realize until I arrived at the airport that I had forgotten to ask his name. I truly regret that and would like to say, “Thank you so much!”
Another highlight was the breakfast service. Breakfast is available until 1:30 p.m., which is incredibly thoughtful for international travelers dealing with jet lag. It allowed us to enjoy breakfast without having to rush early in the morning.
This hotel offers not only excellent facilities but, more importantly, genuine hospitality and exceptional customer service. Every staff member I met was warm, professional, and made me feel truly welcome.
Thank you to everyone at Glenview ITC Plaza Chongqing for making my visit to Chongqing so memorable.
I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Chongqing and will gladly recommend this wonderful hotel to my family and friends.
Highly recommended!
这次回重庆探亲两周（2026年6月8日至6月20日），我入住了重庆国贸格兰维大酒店（Glenview ITC Plaza Chongqing），这是一次让我非常满意、也非常感动的住宿体验。
酒店的位置很好，房间宽敞舒适，非常干净，床也很舒服。更让我印象深刻的是酒店所有员工都非常专业、热情，让我真正感受到宾至如归。
首先，我要特别感谢每天负责打扫我房间的林燕。她工作认真负责，每天都把房间打扫得干干净净、整整齐齐，让人住得特别舒服。每隔两天，酒店还会贴心地送上一盘新鲜水果，这份细心让我觉得非常温暖。
我还要特别感谢大堂礼宾管家慧敏，她服务热情周到，每次遇到问题都会耐心帮助我，让整个入住过程十分顺利。
另外，还有一位戴眼镜的年轻男员工，虽然很遗憾我忘记了他的名字，但我一直记得他的帮助。6月8日下午我刚到酒店时，他主动帮我把两个大行李送到房间；6月20日中午11点50分左右我退房时，当天下着雨，他又主动帮我在雨中拦出租车，并把我的两个大行李搬上出租车，一直送我离开。到了机场以后，我才发现自己忘记问他的名字，觉得很遗憾，也很想借这次评论向他说一声：“谢谢！”
还有一点让我特别喜欢的是酒店早餐时间非常人性化，可以一直供应到下午1点半。对于时差还没调整好的海外旅客来说，这真的是非常贴心的安排，不用为了赶早餐而早起。
这次入住让我深刻感受到，这不仅是一家硬件优秀的酒店，更是一家充满温暖、人情味和专业服务精神的酒店。
衷心感谢重庆国贸格兰维大酒店每一位工作人员的付出。你们让我这次回国探亲更加愉快、安心。
下次回重庆，我一定还会选择入住这里，也会推荐给身边所有的亲朋好友。
再次感谢大家！FromUS$55

I've been to Chongqing many times, but this was my first stay at a Kempinski. I'd seen on Trip.com that the hotel opened in 2012, so I assumed the facilities and decor might be a bit outdated. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that despite being open for 14 years, this Kempinski is still exceptionally well-maintained. The original construction materials and furnishings were clearly high-quality, luxury items, so overall, aside from the slightly older design and decor style, everything else was unexpectedly good. This includes the dining options – whether it was Elements Western Restaurant, the Beer Bar, or the Executive Lounge, the food quality was impressive. The desserts and bread, in particular, truly showcased the essence of German culinary excellence. Of course, as a boutique hotel under the GHA DISCOVERY alliance, what truly impressed me most was the service. From the welcoming attitude of the staff to the efficiency of the management team in resolving issues, it truly lives up to Kempinski's reputation as a European hotel aristocrat. Special thanks to the hotel management and operations teams for their meticulous care and excellent service during my stay. Employees like Wilson, the Director of Rooms, Paul, the Guest Services Manager, and Lucy, the Executive Lounge intern, all deserve special recognition!FromUS$49

The hotel is not far from the subway, and the restaurant and front desk staff were excellent, living up to the standards of a 5-star hotel. However, the hotel itself feels a bit dated.

I spent a lot of time choosing a hotel for my trip to Chongqing. Some hotels had high ratings but were actually quite bad. In the end, I chose the Metropolitan Hotel, and it truly didn't disappoint.
The location is excellent. Turn right out of the hotel and walk a few steps, and you're at Jiefangbei. Daijia Alley and Hongyadong are also within walking distance. About 200 meters away is Bayi Food Street, which has an abundance of snacks, restaurants, and local specialties, making it incredibly convenient.
At the same time, it's not actually *on* Food Street, so you avoid the noise. Many hotels in Chongqing share a main entrance, with different hotels occupying different floors accessible by the same elevator, which can be chaotic. Waiting in line for the elevator wastes a lot of time. The Metropolitan Hotel, however, stands independently and quietly, which is rare and fantastic for a hotel in a tourist area!
The hotel's service was also very thoughtful, leaving me with a wonderful impression of Chongqing's local culture as soon as I arrived.
Although the hotel faces the street, the room was very quiet. Breakfast was also plentiful. However, I have one small suggestion: the hairdryer is a bit old-fashioned; it would be even better if it could be replaced with a newer model.
I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit. Highly recommended!FromUS$73

The facilities are a bit old, but generally well-maintained. I stayed on the 26th floor and the room had a damp smell, which wasn't great. The windows felt like they weren't there at all; they provided no soundproofing. The showerhead was leaking and needs to be replaced. The elevators in the public areas felt like they had no AC, were very hot at noon, and were slow.
Hygienics: Meets Hyatt standards.
Environment: Meets Hyatt standards.
Service: So-so. After 10 PM, there was no answer when calling room service.
Location: Good, quiet yet central. There are many shopping areas nearby, making it very convenient for dining and shopping.
Other: The executive lounge's food was average with no live cooking stations. The pool has a hot tub and dry sauna, but the water quality was mediocre. Overall, everything is quite old.FromUS$83

Before coming to Chongqing, I did a lot of research on hotels, and I usually book through Ctrip. After reading many reviews, I felt that the Westin Hotel Chongqing Jiefangbei was suitable for staying with children in all aspects. I had some concerns before checking in, but they were completely alleviated after I arrived. Firstly, the staff were all very welcoming. The butler even added me on WeChat beforehand, saying I could contact them anytime for any needs. The room hygiene was also satisfactory, and the breakfast every day was very rich. I especially loved the fresh juices and various porridges. The hotel's location is also excellent; it's a 15-minute walk to Raffles City and a 10-minute walk to Jiefangbei. There are plenty of dining, drinking, and entertainment options nearby, all within walking distance or a short taxi ride. Overall, it was a very satisfying stay! Next time I come, the Westin will definitely be my top choice again!FromUS$131
