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.
"Finally got to experience the InterContinental, located in what's said to be the world's second-largest single building, a place I'd been eyeing for a while. Reviews online were quite polarized, but my actual experience far exceeded expectations. Walking into the lobby, it felt like a grand, classic five-star hotel with impressive public areas.
As a Platinum member, I chatted with them in advance and was upgraded to a courtyard suite on the first floor of Zone A. Arriving at night, the public areas did feel a bit eerie once the lights were off. However, in the daytime, the room's small courtyard and the public spaces immediately gave off a resort vibe, reminding me of hotels in Sanya. The room itself had no musty smell and was reasonably well-maintained, not as dated as I'd imagined, though it was a minor disappointment that the Jacuzzi wasn't working. Due to its longitudinal layout and being on the first floor with a courtyard outside, the room was a bit dim.
The poolside breakfast was incredibly unique, transporting me back to the Mandarin Oriental in Sanya. The food quality was excellent, and they also offered an à la carte menu. There are hot spring pools for relaxing, and the swimming pool is large and quite deep. The semi-open-air gym is also a standout feature. It's just a 5-minute walk to the Ocean Park and Global Shopping Center within the building, offering plenty of entertainment.
Considering the price point, I highly recommend it for first-time visitors looking to check it out and for locals wanting a staycation."
