The hotel proudly combines local heritage with modern hospitality, nestled in the heart of Yuhu Island in the city's Bishan District, the hotel is moments away from the renowned national tourist attraction, Xiuhu Park.
Aside from its stunning location, the hotel also offers guests a unique retreat featuring surrounding natural scenery. This opening marks the debut of New World Hotels & Resorts in Chongqing and represents a significant milestone in the brand's rapid expansion in China.

“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 Bishan District’s environmental and cultural heritage.”
Immerse in Chongqing’s Cultural Landscape
Nature is highly valued in Chinese culture, and the pursuit of tranquillity has remained an enduring aspiration of the cultural elite since ancient times. To provide this peaceful respite, New World Chongqing Hotel is located at the centre of the 400,000-square-meter Yuhu Lake, surrounded by calm waters and majestic mountains.
The hotel’s design seamlessly integrates the beauty of the landscape, blending harmoniously with its natural and cultural environment. At the main entrance, the rolling Jinyun and Bishan Mountains are depicted on a large screen, evoking a sense of wonder in guests as they arrive. The lobby’s French windows further draw natural beauty into the hotel, immersing guests in vivid, lush surroundings the moment they step through the doors.
The hotel offers 200 guest rooms, each decorated with contemporary touches that represent the distinctive local heritage of Bishan’s eight scenic viewpoints. There are 10 different room categories that guests can choose from, including lakeview rooms, family rooms, and spa suites. All these rooms are equipped with lavish bathtubs, further inspiring an enhanced sense of leisure.
Catering to Diverse Events and Meetings
The hotel presents a choice of two exceptional dining destinations. WEI Kitchen offers a breakfast buffet and all-day dining menu brimming with authentic local delicacies, while Hai Yao Xuan Chinese Restaurant fuses Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine with western elements for a unique culinary experience. Whether guests are craving local delights or intricate Chinese fusion cuisine, they will find countless dishes to satisfy their taste buds at New World Chongqing Hotel.
The hotel also offers a selection of recreational amenities, including a spacious gym and a swimming pool. Soothing spa services are also available for guests to relax and tend to their well-being.

These areas can be adapted for various types of events such as weddings, family reunions and performances. They also double as ideal venues for meetings, incentives, product launches, conferences and exhibitions.
“Bishan is an ancient town known for its exceptional natural landscapes and is also one of the major regions of the Chengdu-Chongqing twin-city economic circle. As such, it is a great honour to open our first hotel in the extraordinary Chongqing under the New World Hotels & Resorts brand.
