Jiangbeizui is the financial district Chongqing built on the north bank of the Jialing, where the river flows into the Yangtze, and Regent Chongqing opened there in November 2017. Its owner, the Chongqing developer Casin Group, and Regent presented it as the city's first "urban resort", a label that in this case covers three restaurants, two bars, a spa and an indoor pool, enough to spend an evening without crossing the river.
The interiors are modern and use the materials of Sichuan craft, ceramic, jade, metal and lacquer, with art to match, from the ceramics of the Korean artist Lee Eun to the metalwork of the Taiwanese artist Donnie Pan. The bathrooms follow the five-fixture plan Regent introduced in the 1970s.
Jiefangbei and Guanyinqiao, the two big shopping districts, are about ten minutes away by car, the airport about half an hour, and the nearest metro stop is Chongqing Theatre on Line 6. The high-rise choice in the same district is Niccolo Chongqing, at the top of a tower. For the city's food, OKYTO's gastronomic guide to Chongqing starts with hot pot.
Most of the 202 rooms face the river, and the rooftop bar looks the same way. Across the Jialing is Yuzhong, the peninsula the old city grew on: Hongyadong, the stilted complex built down the bank, and Chaotianmen at the point where the two rivers meet.
