New World Hotels & Resorts has expanded its presence in China with the grand opening of the New World Chongqing Hotel on 29 June 2024.

The hotel marks the brand's debut in Chongqing, a major city within the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle.

Located on Yuhu Island in Yuhu Lake in the Bishan district, the hotel's design integrates with the surroundings and features a screen showcasing the Jinyun and Bishan Mountains at the entrance and expansive windows in the lobby.

“We are thrilled about the opening of our first upper-upscale hotel in China, which is also the first in our hospitality portfolio to be managed by New World Tongpai Hotels Group,” said Gilbert Ee, CEO of New World Chongqing's property developer, the GSH Corporation.

“The hotel’s unique location in the heart of the picturesque Yuhu Lake, paired with its world-class design and stellar amenities, makes New World Chongqing Hotel an iconic landmark that embodies the Bishan district’s environmental and cultural heritage.”

Guest rooms and amenities

The New World Chongqing Hotel offers 200 guest rooms with a variety of options, including lakeview rooms, family rooms and spa suites.

Each room features contemporary décor with subtle nods to Bishan's eight scenic viewpoints.

The hotel caters to diverse dining needs with two restaurants: WEI Kitchen offers a breakfast buffet and an all-day dining menu featuring local specialties, while the Hai Yao Xuan Chinese restaurant fuses Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine with Western influences.

Guests can unwind at the gym and swimming pool, or indulge in spa treatments.

The New World Chongqing Hotel caters to events and meetings with a flexible range of function spaces.

Its 2,000m² pillar-free area allows for multiple configurations, complemented by three unique outdoor zones. These spaces can be adapted for weddings, family gatherings, product launches, conferences and exhibitions.
