What is Chongqing? I think most people who have been there can talk big;
So, what is Chongqing Regent? On the banks of Jialing River, this five-star hotel stands at the top of the luxury hotel field. What charm does it have for my trip to Chongqing?
What you see is luxury goods. More than 50 years ago, the Regent brand redefined luxury in the modern sense at the beginning of its establishment.
More than 50 years later, with the strong backing of InterContinental Hotels Group, BLACKPINK made its debut, witnessing its legendary rebirth and reaching the top of the global luxury hotel. There are only eight Regent hotels in the world.
Every family is unique, and every family is a rare place to escape from the world in the hustle and bustle, immersed in the essence of local culture forever.
In Chongqing, Regent's luxury is a combination of China's neoclassical culture and Chongqing's traditional culture, and it is also an emotional appeal and romance of Chinese and Western integration.
What is "luxury"?
Entering the Regent Chongqing Hotel, luxury has surrounded it and the journey of inspiration has begun.
During the construction, the ceramic art wall of "Impression of Mountain City" in Chongqing came into view. It is about two stories high. Designer Eric Tsay invited Jingdezhen ceramists to build it together.
The essence is hidden between the tiles, and the phoenix and running water have to be elaborated.
In the raging flames, the overlord bird and the Bayu God bird practiced in front of the ancient Han Que. They constantly temper themselves and burn themselves, and finally become a fire phoenix, and the fire phoenix becomes a fire phoenix.
Nirvana Phoenix is a symbol of Chongqing's cultural ecology and the character of Chongqing people. Someone once told me that the map of Chongqing is like a "fire phoenix".
Water can gather wealth, which is the wisdom of the ancients. There are many articles on geomantic omen, which won the hearts of the people. This can be seen in the lobby or in front of many star-rated hotels, but it is not easy to leave a deep impression, which tests the creative level of designers.
Under the roof tiles, the water is gurgling, and the meaning of gathering wealth is self-evident. Generally speaking, the "mountain city image" is full of imagination and seems to have the charm of Hongyadong.
To the left, the porch wooden door that passes through the automatic induction switch is the hotel lobby, and the elements of grille and screen run through it, cleverly separating the various areas of the hotel.
All-day restaurant, Chongqing kitchen and lobby bar (Balang) on the left side of the lobby are connected by a translucent screen inlaid with crystals, and their functions are reflected by different furniture and lighting.
Here, the designer's impression of the mountain city of Chongqing is that he has exhausted his mind. The large curtain wall on the left side of the concierge desk is inlaid with gold and white tiles into a rolling picture of mountains and rivers, reflecting the vigorous momentum and spirit of Chongqing.
At the same time, there are hundreds of camellias scattered from top to bottom on the Balong and the white wall facing the hotel, but the wonderful sight of proper white space makes people yearn for it.
But the most amazing detail is the camellias inlaid with cloisonne and gold in the middle of the picture, which is inconspicuous in the whole space, but once found, it is the focus. Camellia is the flower of Chongqing, so the ingenious design has to be admired.
In such an environment, what does it feel like to have a national treasure cultural relic afternoon tea?
In many people's eyes, Chongqing is a famous online city that is very popular with tourists. I regard it as a "luxury pet". This kind of "luxury pet" is vividly reflected in the Regent Hotel in Chongqing. It is innate and silent.
Enjoying the afternoon tea banquet of "national treasures" is one of the most luxurious experiences of this trip to Chongqing. You can feel the charm of national treasure with your taste and touch the legend of national treasure with your tongue.
The classic and elegant pamphlet, with both the introduction of cultural relics and the production method, reveals a kind of humor of "making cultural relics in the kitchen". Can't help but admire, behind the taste is respect for culture. Time respects and favors, and the mood precipitates.
Chongqing kitchen is a cafeteria. Because of its rich variety and complete food, many Chongqing people and nearby white-collar workers will come here to enjoy it (including Robbins Steakhouse on the second floor).
During my stay, I will eat a sashimi, drink a cup of freshly squeezed juice and eat Chongqing noodles here every time.
Chongqing noodles in Regent Chongqing Hotel are very famous and popular.
Stepping into Robbins Steakhouse on the second floor, four bronze art screens in Chongqing Mountain City became the focus of attention.
These four screen paintings restore the scene of Chongqing's urban life, depicting the pier, hot pot, stairs and mountain climbing, echoing the real mountain city scene separated by a river outside the window, forming an interesting visual experience.
However, Wellington steaks, m8 steaks and bull's-eye steaks at Robbins Steakhouse seem to be more desirable than appreciating screen art..
202 1 In the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide, only six restaurants in Chongqing were shortlisted, and Robbins Steakhouse in Regent Chongqing is one of them.
A lobster soup, Wellington steak, m8 steak and bull's eye steak filled Chongqing with "luxury" in taste buds.
Wellington steak, m8 steak and bull's eye steak are highly recommended. The former has fresh morels and foie gras, and you can hear the crunchy skin every time you cut it. The latter is fresh and tender, and the feeling of entrance is unimaginable.
Bread before meals is also good, crisp and soft, with butter, which can be described as classic. At the same time, the steak house also has buffet salads and desserts.
If Robbins Steakhouse brings "luxury" to the taste buds of westerners, then the Regent Chinese Restaurant gives me an intuitive feeling of "nobility".
250,000 crystals and 2757 strings are hung together to form a phoenix, so I stopped to watch. This is inspired by the bronze bird-shaped statue unearthed from Sanxingdui culture. Zun was a vessel for holding wine in ancient times. The designer's inspiration expresses the inheritance and continuation of China traditional culture, and also highlights the elegance of Chinese wine culture.
Facing the Jialing River and enjoying the authentic scenery of Chongqing is a completely different mood from Robbins Steakhouse.
Liangjiang Bar is the most surprising place for Regent Chongqing. Although I like drinking alone, the design of the open-air bar in the hotel is so charming and full of elegance. It's a pleasure to get together with five old and new friends.
Liangjiang Bar not only has pavilions, freehand waterscape design, but also the collocation of classical elements such as palace lanterns and screens. Under the comfortable and soft lighting, the scenery on the other side of the river is presented in the eye.
At the beginning of the light, Hongyadong, a popular punching point, is in front of us.
Being in it, drinking cocktails, listening to the singer's moving songs and enjoying the impression of the mountain city on the other side, Chongqing's nightlife is so romantic, classical, sexy and elegant.
When the day's "luxury" trip is over, the real "luxury pet" comes.
When I entered the room, time became soft and slow, and the charm of ancient style came to me. The hidden light source is visually comfortable, and the floor-to-ceiling window facing Jialing River opens a wonderful journey of "not leaving the room".
Yes, if there is no bed here, I may be regarded as an art center.
There are many little secrets hidden in the guest room, each of which deserves your careful observation and quiet gaze.
The designer combines the traditional architectural lattice window, special crack paint for hidden gold, Rongchang Ramie and red as ancient lacquer, and the golden brick with China handcrafted characteristics and elements, highlighting the steady and mysterious charm of the East.
Their light and shadow overlap, emitting infinite charm.
The artistic paintings of the mountain city of Chongqing hanging on the wall are even more "distant mountains". Xuan paper is covered on canvas, which combines Chinese and western styles to draw the unique scenery of Chongqing.
However, the finishing touch is the carpet under the bed. The carpets in the rooms of Regent Chongqing Hotel are patterned by ethnic minorities, which highly restores the traditional hand-knotted carpet technology and is impressive. Especially when you walk barefoot on it, the soft and delicate comfort goes straight from your toes to your heart.
When I took a rest on the sofa, I couldn't help but find that there were many other gentle and comfortable thoughts and designs in the guest room besides cultural and spiritual tastes.
Such as wireless charging of bedside table, free loan service of bathroom bar (see figure), butler service, free laundry, etc.
There are free drinks and drinks in the freezer, so it seems that my night is about to start a little romance again.
The big bathtub by the window won my heart. You can reserve a rose bath, lemon slice bath or bubble bath in advance.
Twilight, the moment I entered the bathtub, the fatigue instantly faded. I drank some more wine and enjoyed the night in the mountain city while enjoying the bath. My trip to Chongqing is so "luxurious" and "extravagant", full of culture and taste.
