Conrad Chongqing sits near the city’s convention center and features bold design, like the lobby’s 3-D artwork. Its 275 guestrooms include 26 suites and span floors 38–55. Décor boasts tones of cream and grey, complemented by floor-to-ceiling windows. Dining outlets include YU Chinese Restaurant, The PEAK and MIST Lobby Bar, as well as 3652, a hidden speakeasy.
