The Hilton Chongqing has been closed indefinitely by the police. According to China National Radio, the owner of the property, Qinglong Property Development, was alleged to have links to an underworld gang running a prostitution ring inside the hotel.
Hilton International Hotel Group manages the business in a joint venture with the property company.
In April, police in Chongqing initiated a wide-ranging mafia crackdown that resulted in the death penalty being handed out to the city’s former top judicial official, Wen Qiang.
