Ascott Raffles City Chongqing
An apartment in the sky where the Yangtze and Jialing meet — Raffles City's horizontal skyscraper underfoot and Chongqing's neon canyon out the window.
The Position
Inside the Raffles City megastructure at Chaotianmen, directly above the confluence of the two rivers, with the Crystal skybridge, metro and a full mall in the same complex. Chongqing's vertical drama surrounds you.
The Residence
Our one-bedroom came with full kitchen, washer-dryer and floor-to-ceiling river views from the 40s. Housekeeping and the residents' pool kept hotel standards; the luggage delivery service smoothed a rail-heavy itinerary.
What Works
- River-confluence views from high floors
- Full apartment functionality
- Metro, mall and skybridge in the building
What Doesn't
- No proper restaurant of its own
- Check-in buried deep in the complex

Yes.
IFC Residence
“Lujiazui living above the IFC mall — apartment space, hotel discipline and the Bund skyline delivered nightly through floor-to-ceiling glass.”
Aroma Tea House Formula Museum Hotel Guilin
“Part tea museum, part guesthouse, entirely Guilin — antique furniture, gongfu ceremonies at check-in and karst peaks a short stroll along the lake.”
Wanda Reign Chengdu
“Chinese luxury at full volume — river-view marble, tea service theatre and rates that would buy half a room in Europe. Chengdu's statement address delivers.”
