The hype
Guests are obsessed with the river views and the free laundry service, but many find the arrival experience confusing.
ISEYA HOTEL （Chongqing Jiefangbei Raffles Plaza)
$120-200/ nuit
Réservez si You want viral-worthy skyline views and high-tech amenities without the Raffles City price tag.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Floor-to-ceiling windows with direct views of the Raffles City 'Crystal' skybridge
- 24/7 WeChat butler service that actually solves problems
- Huge window-side bathtubs perfect for soaking while watching the city lights
En bref : A stunning Instagram trap of a hotel hidden inside a generic office building—epic views, but zero traditional hotel lobby vibes.
Évalué par @YvetteChoco4705480 : I felt like the main character in a sci-fi movie here. The way the walls turn into a thunderstorm while you're safe in bed is wild, and the morning view from the tub is just unbeatable. Definitely the coolest, most unique spot I've stayed in Chongqing.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
You aren't paying for a 5-star hotel infrastructure; you're paying for a killer room view and a butler on your phone.
- You live for the aesthetic: projector screens, smart toilets, and bathtubs with a view
- You prefer texting a butler over calling a front desk
- You want to be right next to Raffles City but pay half the price

Quoi emporter

- A power bank (you will use your phone constantly for maps and photos)

FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is this hotel inside Raffles City?
No. It is in the Chaotianmen Center building directly opposite Raffles City. You get the view OF Raffles City.
Does the hotel have a pool?
Technically yes (shared with the building), but reviews scream to avoid it due to hygiene issues.
How do I communicate with staff?
They will add you on WeChat upon arrival. The 'Butler' service is responsive and uses translation tools well.
Is it hard to find a taxi?
No, taxis and Didi (rideshare) can pull up to the building entrance, but traffic in this area is notoriously jammed.
Can I order food delivery?
Yes, 'Waimai' is huge here. A robot will often deliver the food directly to your room door.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, but it's a simple set menu or small buffet served until 12 PM (brunch style).
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
The 'Storm SPA' is a unique room/feature you can book for a photo shoot with rain effects—it's more for the 'gram than actual therapy.
- ✨
Use the subway entrance 'downstairs' (Line 1 Chaotianmen) to skip the surface traffic jams.
- ✨
Ask the butler for a 'bath bomb'—they often provide them for free for the tub.
