CHONGQING, China – Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) announced that the new Holiday Inn Chongqing University Town has made its grand debut, adding “fresh blood” to the hospitality scene in Chongqing and providing extraordinary stay experiences for business and leisure travelers. Holiday Inn Chongqing University Town was developed by Guangzhou R&F Properties (Chongqing) Co., Ltd, and is operated by IHG under the Holiday Inn brand.
Holiday Inn Chongqing University Town is conveniently located in the center of University Town in Shapingba District, which has a 3,000-year history dating back to the Zhou Dynasty. Today, it serves as the city’s strategic platform for western expansion. It is just 25 kilometers from Chongqing North Railway Station and a 40 minute drive from the Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport.

It is an easy commute to other parts of the city by way of Line 1 University Town subway station, or readily available taxis throughout the district.
The hotel’s design is inspired by the well-known historical architectural feature “The Yunti Ladder – The first ladder of Yangtze River,” which is located in Chongqing’s Xituo Ancient Town. The magnificent views built on the perpendicular cliffs rear over the mountain, sparking the idea of special structure of the hotel lobby. The hotel offers 360 fresh guest rooms of modern design, all with flat-screen televisions, satellite channels, work desks with ergonomic seating and high-speed Internet access. For those with long stay needs, the hotel features 14 suites with cooking ware and full kitchen facilities.
