Newly-Opened Hotels in Chongqing 2024–2025
4 Genuinely New Stays — Verified Opening Dates, Scores 9.4–9.8

We open the new-stays list with the city's biggest opening story — Conrad Chongqing is the first time the Conrad flag has flown in Chongqing, it opened in Aug 2024, and it's Hilton's 700th hotel in Greater China, scoring 9.5/10 from around 2,988 real reviews since launch. It's a 55-storey tower on the Nan'an side with interiors by Hong Kong's Cheng Chung Design. What guests like is that everything is still brand-new — contemporary design rooms, an executive lounge, Conrad's luxury service, and an across-river view of the Yuzhong skyline as a wall of light at night, with a location by Gongmao on Line 3 that reaches Jiefangbei in about six minutes. The honest caveat: it's on the Nan'an side, so seeing Jiefangbei / Hongyadong means a metro or taxi hop across, and it's the top of the price range here — and we don't yet have a standalone review of this hotel, so the booking buttons below go straight to the OTAs.

The newest design stay on the list, and the one with the peak score — Atour S Jiangbeizui Liujia Pier opened in June 2025 and scores 9.8/10 from around 978 real reviews, the highest on this list and among the best in the whole city. It's the Beibin Road riverside branch of Atour's premium 'S' line on the Jiangbei side. What guests like is that everything is still fresh — spotless design rooms, Atour's signature bedding, scent and book corner, fast Wi-Fi, and rooms that face the river — plus a location near the Jiangbeizui financial district and a riverside park that's lovely for an evening stroll. The honest caveat: it's on the Jiangbei riverside rather than in central Jiefangbei, it's about a 10-min walk to Liujiatai station (farther than a station-adjacent hotel), and the review count is still modest because it's so new — and we don't yet have a standalone review of this hotel, so the booking buttons go straight to the OTAs.

A new in-the-centre option at a midscale price — Howard Johnson Life Jiefangbei opened in 2025 and scores 9.4/10 from around 1,109 real reviews. It's the Jiefangbei branch of the Howard Johnson Life brand under Wyndham. What guests like is getting something new in the heart of the Jiefangbei CBD — fresh design rooms, an easy walk to malls, the pedestrian street and the food of Jiefangbei — plus a location by Qixinggang on Lines 1/10, just a ~3-min walk, so the metro takes you anywhere in town quickly. It suits anyone who wants a new stay in the centre without paying five-star rates. The honest caveat: it's a midscale, with no lounge / big meeting rooms like a five-star, standard rooms run compact, and it's a busy quarter, noisy on peak nights — and we don't yet have a standalone review of this hotel, so the booking buttons go straight to the OTAs.

We close the list with the new budget option, for backpackers and solo travellers — Sweet Heart Youth Hostel opened in Nov 2024 and scores 9.5/10 from around 2,952 real reviews, which is a lot of reviews and a very high score for a hostel that's only just opened. It's inside a commercial building in the heart of Yuzhong, with three lifts straight up to the 6th floor. What guests like is that everything is new and clean — rooms average around 40 sqm with separate male/female bathroom areas, a big lobby, a dining corner, laundry rooms, and group activities like City Walks that let solo travellers meet people — plus a location a 5-min walk to the Liberation Monument and by Linjiangmen on Lines 1/2, making it extremely easy to get around, from ¥70 a dorm bed. The honest caveat: it's a dorm-focused hostel with less privacy than a hotel, private rooms are limited, and it's a local property, so check whether they accept foreign-passport check-in before booking — we don't have a standalone review of it, so the booking buttons go straight to the OTAs.
