ROOM WITH A VIEW – Oriental Ambience

Situated on the top floor of Regent Chongqing in Jiangbei district, the Regent Suite offers gorgeous vistas over the Jialing river and the city skyline. Designed in the modern Chinese style, it features a Chinese wooden screen, golden crackle lacquer, antique red paint and gold bricks to create a cool Oriental ambience, while local flavour is added with hand-knotted carpets showcasing designs from Sichuan costume patterns. There’s a bedroom, living room, dining room and kitchen in this 215 sqm suite, but it’s the suite’s bathroom that makes the biggest statement. Equipped with a large round bathtub, double vanity, lounge and dressing table, you can gaze out on the city from the full-length windows during a relaxing soak. Just call the butler if you need anything, be that bubbles for the bath or your glass. It wouldn’t be a trip to Chongqing without sampling some fiery Sichuan fare, so book a table at Li Jing Shuen for some lip-numbing hotpot, then cool down with a cocktail on the River Terrace.ihg.com
