Glenview ITC Plaza Chongqing

10/10 Excellent
"We loved most of our stay at theGlenview ITC. It was well appointed and very well located in a very large and complicated city. We were so happy to be able to walk everywhere that we wanted to explore. Our room on thw 29th floor had a lot of space and a great view of the river. The only thing that was disappointing was that the swimming pool was being cleaned so we were not able to enjoy that ammenity."
