The project is situated at No. 3 Jiangbeizui Financial City, enjoying a prime location in Chongqing's vibrant heart with exceptional accessibility. The site is only 3.76 km away from Chongqing Station, and it overlooks the confluence of two rivers across from iconic attractions such as Hongya Cave and Chaotianmen wharf.
Anchored by the concept "Bridging Horizons · Revealing a New Vision of the City,” the design translates Chongqing's identity as the “City of Bridges" into a modern luxury spatial narrative. Catering to business elites, stylish travelers, and families, the hotel offers distinctive experiences with guestrooms from level 51 to 59, and public areas perched above the skyline from level 60 to 64.
Inspired by the city’s distinctive bridge structures, the lobby reimagines bridge vaults through a diamond-perforated ceiling, creating dramatic visual impact. Ultra-thin metal profiles give the ceiling a floating presence while ensuring strength and resilience, perfectly suited to the mountain city’s climate. Warm oak inlays soften the metal skeleton, balancing strength with a human touch—echoing the city’s spirit. A crimson concierge counter and a rippling fiberglass installation evoke the surging energy of the rivers, marking a striking prelude to the spatial journey.
In the sky lobby, layered rippled glass and warm ambient lighting evoke the fleeting shimmer of sunlight refracted through water as a boat slips beneath a bridge—an ephemeral moment transformed into a serene yet striking centerpiece.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing draws sweeping views of Chaotianmen Wharf and Hongya Cave into the interior, inviting the riverscape into dialogue with the space. Arched portals in the lobby bar act as living canvases, capturing the ever-shifting confluence of the rivers. Light dances across custom wall finishes, casting fluid reflections that blur the boundary between inside and out—echoing the rhythm of the rivers and the city beyond.
Guestrooms are thoughtfully arranged within the building’s structural grid, offering a variety of layouts to suit guests’ diverse needs. Soft cream-toned wood and warm wall fabrics create a bright, calming modern atmosphere, turning each room into a “living gallery.”
