Hilton formally opened the Conrad Chongqing, its 700th hotel in Greater China and the Conrad brand’s debut in the country’s western region.
Hilton president for the Asia-Pacific Alan Watts referred to the milestone as a testament to the speed and scale of Hilton’s growth in China.
Watts said: “[We open] our 700th property less than a year after we opened our 600th property here. With one in three hotel rooms under construction here bearing a Hilton flag, we continue to lead the industry as the fastest growing international hotel company in China and are better positioned than ever to extend our signature hospitality to even more destinations in the country.”
China remains a pivotal market for Hilton’s strategic growth, establishing its presence in more than 240 destinations across the country.
Today, Hilton’s ten distinct brands continue to elevate the travel experience for Chinese guests.
In the first half of 2024, the company’s expansion introduced Hilton brands to 25 new locations across Greater China, including Changshu, Guilin, and Rizhao.
Inspired by nature and modern luxury
Inspired by the city’s mountainous terrain, Conrad Chongqing introduces an ‘Oriental Floating City’ concept that blends local nature and culture with contemporary design.
Located in Chongqing’s fashionable Nan’an District, the hotel offers 275 guest rooms, three restaurants, and a lobby bar. Each room is thoughtfully designed with unique scenic views.
The hotel’s high-altitude restaurant takes guests on a culinary journey with mountain and cloud views. The MIST lobby bar, located on the 52nd floor, offers a prime vantage point to admire Chongqing’s skyline as it transitions from day to night.
Additionally, the hotel features over 2,000 square meters of versatile meeting and event space, providing an inspiring setting for conferences and gatherings.
Hilton president for Greater China and Mongolia Qian Jin said of the location: “Chongqing’s distinctive allure and cultural depth, combined with its role as a key hub in Western China, make it an ideal location for this new Conrad property. We believe Conrad Chongqing will elevate the city’s cultural and tourism landscape and help invigorate Chongqing as a leading global destination.”
