Chongqing Jixiashan SUNYATA Resort Hotel

On my way down the mountain, I stumbled upon Jixia Mountain, a hotel converted from a former embassy building. Its location is truly unique. Nestled in the bustling Longmenhao area, it offers a tranquil escape from the city's noise, a hidden gem amidst the trendy surroundings. We received a complimentary upgrade to a room with a terrace and an unparalleled river view. The service was exceptional. I feel incredibly fortunate to have stayed here this time and look forward to returning to Chongqing and hopefully staying here again.

This was the best hotel of our trip, genuinely much better than the W and N hotels we stayed at later. The main reason is the personal touch; a butler handled our luggage from pickup to delivery in our room. The room itself was fully equipped with everything you could possibly imagine, and even things you didn't think of. We stayed in a two-bedroom suite with our child. The air conditioning worked perfectly at night, keeping us warm. The room was spacious, and our child slept very well. Having a bathtub and multiple bathrooms was very convenient. The amenities were plentiful, and the bedding was comfortable. Most importantly, the hotel's location is excellent, and the night view is absolutely stunning. After a rainy day, the villas covered in moss looked distinctive, both day and night. Although the hotel breakfast was semi-buffet, the moment that tray of food was brought to us, it was definitely the most satisfying meal we had in Chongqing during our stay. It included *xiaomian* (noodles), congee, and various small dishes. Thanks again to the female butler – I forgot to ask for her name – for her attentive and thoughtful service.

There are a lot of stairs, but the butler's shuttle service was excellent. Although the location is in Longmenhao, it's surprisingly quiet at night despite being lively. The minibar was fully free and well-stocked, and breakfast was also good.

Once you've come down the mountain, don't look back. Tired of skyscrapers and lavish indulgence, I increasingly yearn for the mountains. At 'Ji Xia Shan' (Ji-resort), I found a touch of the tranquility my heart desired. Farewell!

Facilities: Basically complete. Cleanliness: Spotless. Environment: Pleasant. Service: Thoughtful and attentive.

This hotel really captures the essence of Chongqing; overall, it's great, and I highly recommend it! Going up and down every day to get in and out was quite an interesting experience, and right outside the entrance is a famous photo-op spot. It's only a ten-minute walk to the south station of the Yangtze River Cableway, but remember to book tickets in advance, otherwise, you'll have a long wait. The hotel staff were all very friendly. After checking out, Xiao He helped me carry my luggage to the roadside and stayed with us until our car arrived. Our four-day, three-night trip was very enjoyable.
