Chaotian Gate

One of the 17 ancient city gates in Chongqing.

Located at the intersection of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers on Yuzhong Peninsula.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, imperial envoys delivered edicts through this gate.

Officials received orders here, giving the gate its name: Chaotianmen.

The dock has stood for a thousand years, witnessing the changing stars.

The landscape has transformed, yet the gateway remains a vital landmark.

The ISEYA Floating Cloud High Altitude Hotel, Chaotianmen flagship store, is situated on the 30th floor of Guangda Holdings Chaotianmen Center.

From its 100-meter elevation, guests can enjoy stunning views of the two rivers and the surrounding banks.

Floating clouds and mist create a serene atmosphere, accompanied by morning glows and sunsets.

This project, completed in one and a half years, is a collaboration between ISEYA Floating Cloud High Altitude Hotel and Everbright Holdings Group. Its prime location and exceptional landscape offer guests a remarkable experience.

As a highly anticipated destination for travelers, ISEYA Floating Sky Hotel is committed to delivering a unique and memorable stay. Following this philosophy, the design strives to exceed expectations and meet guests’ desires.

Reception Hall

The reception hall, located on the 30th floor with nearly 10 meters of floor height, features a sleek, understated desk framed by the city skyline.

Aside from a few cloud-themed art chairs floating throughout the space, nearly the entire area is open for guests to take photos, stroll, admire the view, or relax quietly.

The brand’s signature character, “Fuwa,” hangs above the reception desk. As the elevator doors open, it interacts with guests, enhanced by a custom dynamic halo that sets a ceremonious tone for their arrival.

Viewing Platform

Sunlight streams through French windows into the lobby, casting reflections on the walls.

The city and river are mirrored on the ceiling.

The suspended flying staircase, a fitness corridor that emerges from the wall, and an observation deck seemingly frozen in the clouds all represent the vibrant, three-dimensional essence of this mountain city.

High Staircase and Wall-Climbing Ladder

The lobby connects to the fitness corridor via a flying staircase that spirals and weaves through the upper and lower levels, offering guests engaging and interactive perspectives.

Fitness Corridor

The fitness corridor seamlessly connects public areas and guest rooms. Its angled design offers fitness enthusiasts expansive views, making it a unique scenic route.

While you enjoy the scenery, passersby can also catch glimpses of you.

The elevator hall is infused with mystery through consistent use of the ISEYA Floating Sky Hotel’s signature “code” elements.

Guest Rooms – Crystal Bathtub Panorama Suites

The guest rooms average nearly 50 square meters. The island-style dressing table encourages conversation and integrates a minibar.

Each room features an original crystal bathtub, offering a unique experience of bathing among the clouds.

Suspended beds and sofas add to the feeling of luxury and care, ensuring guests feel respected and pampered.

The crystal bathtub, adorned with origami, evokes a light, floating sensation, making it the flagship store’s most heartfelt room feature.

Guest Room – LOFT Party Panorama Suite

This exclusive LOFT suite is part of the second-phase cloud villa project and serves as a show room.

It features panoramic French windows, expansive views, and spacious first-floor rooms, ideal for private gatherings such as group outings, birthday parties, anniversaries, marriage proposals, and time with friends.

Guest Room – Floating Cloud High Altitude View Room

Perched 100 meters above Chaotianmen, each room is filled with breathtaking views: the Yuzhong Peninsula, the confluence of the two rivers, the sky bridge of Raffles City, and the sprawling Nanshan across the river.

Guests can enjoy floating clouds, mist, sunrises, and sunsets all from the comfort of their rooms.
