InterContinental Properties in Chengdu

We took our kids to play at the Global Centre Water Park for the weekend and didn't want to waste time traveling, so we chose to stay at the InterContinental Global Center. Our room included two breakfasts and two two-day unlimited passes to the water park. We could just go downstairs to play in the water and then head back to the room to shower and get ready, avoiding the crowded public areas of the water park. The hotel gave us a free upgrade to a high-floor king-size room in Zone E, which had a fantastic view. The room facilities were similar to many seaside resorts, thoughtfully designed with a balcony area for drying clothes. The bedding was also very comfortable. The breakfast at the poolside restaurant was quite rich; the 'guokui' (flatbread) was well-baked and crispy, and the beef noodles tasted great. The watermelon juice at breakfast was also very refreshing. The hotel's shuttle bus saved us some walking time, but during peak hours, it was hard to find an empty bus as they were usually full when we tried to get on midway.

Staying at the InterContinental Century City definitely lightened my wallet, but the joy I got was off the charts! I absolutely have to give a shout-out to my 'sweetheart' butler, Maggie Zhang. This girl literally has a sixth sense; she had everything perfectly arranged even before I could ask. When I wanted a late-night snack, she replied faster than I could order takeout. And before I even finished the fruit from the day before, she'd already sent fresh ones the next day. Her service awareness seriously makes me wonder if she's got cameras installed in my house! The room was enormous, like a maze, and the bed was so soft it felt like sleeping on a cloud. There was even a handwritten welcome card from Maggie in the room (such a touching detail!). Next time I'm in Chengdu, I'm definitely looking for Maggie again, because who doesn't love being pampered? 😉
