Tree Chongqing Beibei
Mountain sanctuary meets thermal wellness retreat. Traditional Chinese atmosphere with contemporary resort comforts — dark wood furnishings, neutral palettes, incense in the corridors. Romantic and restorative rather than social or scene-y.
Book the Terrace Hot Spring Retreat over the standard Hot Spring Retreat for an extra 10 sqm of indoor space and more balcony room for outdoor soaking
Why It Matters
The Banyan Tree Group's first dedicated hot spring resort anywhere in the world. Every accommodation unit — from entry-level suites to the palatial 1,200 sqm Presidential Villa — includes a private mineral-rich hot spring pool sourced from the North Hot Spring at 38°C. Rated #1 of 1,020 hotels in Chongqing on TripAdvisor.
Banyan Tree Chongqing Beibei holds a specific distinction: it's the Banyan Tree Group's first dedicated hot spring resort, and that focus is evident in every corner of the property. Set at the foot of Jinyun Mountain Natural Reserve in Chongqing's northern Beibei district, the resort is built in the Min Guo architectural style — a hybrid of Chinese and Western design blended with traditional multi-storey Chongqing folk-house vernacular. Every one of its 96 suites and villas comes with a private natural mineral hot spring pool fed by the ancient North Hot Spring.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Hot Spring Retreat – King
The entry-level suite and still a generous 80 sqm. King bed, contemporary design with contrasting dark wood furnishings and a neutral palette, private balcony with rolling hill and forest views, and a personal mineral hot spring dipping pool. The Michelin Guide notes that even this smallest room spans 80 sqm — biggest in the local area.
King · 80 sqmHot Spring Retreat – Twin
Same footprint as the King, but configured for two with twin beds. Comes with private balcony looking out over dense verdant forests and the private mineral hot spring pool. Good option for friends traveling together or guests who prefer separate beds.
Twin · 80 sqmPresidential Villa
The resort's top accommodation on a 1,200 sqm compound — more private estate than hotel room. Three bedrooms, two swimming pools, a personal hot spring dipping pool, a full kitchen, lush gardens, private garage, and dedicated living, game, video, and function rooms. Built for families and groups who want total seclusion in the mountains.
1200 sqmTerrace Hot Spring Retreat
The step-up from the standard Hot Spring Retreat, with 50 sqm of indoor space plus a more expansive terrace. The private hot spring dipping pool sits on the terrace, with stream and hill views. Worth the upgrade for the additional outdoor living space.
