Ascott Raffles City Chongqing is a serviced-residence style property in the Raffles City development at Chaotianmen. The format suits travellers who want more room than a standard hotel room, such as families, small groups and anyone staying for a week or more. Serviced apartments usually offer a living area, a kitchenette or kitchen, laundry facilities and a more home-like feel, while keeping hotel services like housekeeping and a front desk. The location means you are close to the river confluence, the night cruise area and Hongyadong, and the Raffles City complex has restaurants and shops under one roof, which is convenient after a long day of sightseeing.
Location and getting around
The property sits at the tip of the Yuzhong peninsula, with river views and a lively riverside setting. Taxis and ride-hailing are convenient, and the Chaotianmen pier area is nearby for cruise passengers. As elsewhere in the old city, hills and stairs can make a short distance feel long.
Apartments and facilities
Studios and one- or two-bedroom apartments are typical for the format, with a separate living space and kitchen amenities. Confirm which room types are available, whether there is a gym or pool and what the housekeeping schedule is. Higher floors usually offer better views over the river.
Who it suits
Families, groups of friends and long-stay visitors who prefer to spread out, cook the odd meal or do laundry. It is also a good choice before or after a Yangtze cruise, when you may want to repack and rest.
Good to know
Bring your passport for check-in, and ask whether breakfast is included. Serviced apartments often have minimum-stay rules or different cancellation terms, so read the conditions when you book. For groceries, ask the front desk about nearby supermarkets.
Making the most of your stay
With a kitchenette you can buy fruit, yoghurt and snacks from a nearby supermarket, which saves money and gives you a break from spicy food at every meal. Use the laundry facilities during a longer trip, and ask the front desk about the best time to catch the river views from the lobby or upper floors. For cruise passengers, a stay here before departure makes packing and last-minute shopping easy.
