Welcome to the InterContinental Chengdu Global Center. Our hotel is nestled within the world's largest standalone structure - the New Century Global Center. The unique structure features the concept of "Flying Sea Gulls, Floating Whales and Waves". InterContinental Chengdu Global Center features 990 luxury rooms and suites, elegantly furnished with local designs, contemporary fittings and spacious balconies with panoramic views of the Ocean Park with a 500 meter coastline, an indoor beach, a Water Park replete with a coastal town, fisherman’s wharf, hot springs and a spectacular 150 meter LED backdrop. Captivating Mediterranean style architecture, unique oceanic theme, world class dining and authentic Sichuan hospitality, combined, create one of the most magnificent retreats in Chengdu.
"We specifically chose the Intercontinental for its proximity to the water park, perfect for the kids. Its location right next to SKP is ideal, and the five-star service truly lives up to expectations. The price of 1500 per night during the National Day holiday felt quite reasonable. It's supposedly the world's largest single building, and it really is impressive. The front desk arranged a room very close to the water park entrance. Since we had a child, we had a lot of small, scattered items, and the concierge was incredibly patient and helpful with packing them up. Our butler, Coco, was also incredibly gentle, thoughtful, and provided excellent service. She arranged for us to have breakfast in the executive area and even gave the kids a small gift. She also readily provided band-aids when we needed them. Because we checked in a bit late on the first day and missed the water park, Coco kindly extended our check-out until 4 PM the next day, which allowed us to have a fantastic time!
However, I do have a few minor suggestions. While the overall service experience was excellent, the hotel is a bit old, and some of the facilities are showing their age. The sofa covers and the fabric on the outdoor lounge chairs in the courtyard looked stained and quite dirty. The soundproofing in the room also left a bit to be desired. Additionally, the route from the Universal parking lot to the hotel entrance didn't seem very clearly planned; several ride-hailing drivers had trouble finding it, and one even drove around twice before giving up and having us walk the rest of the way.
Overall, for anyone looking to enjoy the water park and shop at SKP, it's definitely worth a stay!"
