InterContinental Hangzhou – A luxurious landmark on the banks of the Qiantang River, where checking in is pure enjoyment ✨
🌟 Landmark architecture, unforgettable at first glance
The hotel's exterior is so distinctive! The entire building is a golden sphere, known as the "Big Gold Ball," which echoes the crescent-shaped Hangzhou Grand Theatre opposite, forming the famous "Sun and Moon Shining Together" landscape. Whether day or night, the hotel exudes a unique charm, like a building straight out of a fairy tale, incredibly dreamy.
🏠 Luxurious lobby, a grand entrance
Stepping into the hotel, you're immediately struck by a sense of grandeur. The lobby starts on the 5th floor, with an 85-meter-high dome design that makes the entire space feel incredibly open. There's also a popular sightseeing elevator where you can overlook the magnificent view of the entire lobby. Every detail exudes luxury.
🛏️ Comfortable rooms, stunning river views
The hotel has 384 guest rooms, ranging from 55 to 420 square meters, each equipped with bright floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the Qiantang River. Whether it's the magnificent river or the nighttime light show, you can easily enjoy it all from your room. The rooms also feature Bose speakers, a minibar, and luxury Agraria bath products, showing meticulous attention to detail.
🍽️ A food paradise, with a wide selection
The hotel has five restaurants with different styles, from the buffet breakfast at the Elements all-day dining restaurant to the seafood feast at Cai Feng Lou and the authentic Hangzhou cuisine at Sun & Moon Chinese Restaurant. Every option will satisfy your taste buds. The afternoon tea and happy hour at the lounge are particularly enjoyable, with an elegant ambiance and unbeatable river views.
🏋️♂️ Complete facilities
The hotel's gym and high-altitude heated swimming pool are also my favorites. The pool is located on a high floor, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Qiantang River while swimming. It's incredibly relaxing. In addition, the hotel also offers comprehensive meeting facilities, perfectly meeting the needs of both business and leisure travelers.
🚇 Convenient transportation, worry-free travel
The hotel is incredibly conveniently located, right next to the Citizen Center Station of Metro Lines 4 and 7, providing easy access to West Lake, East Railway Station, and the airport. There are also large shopping malls and food streets nearby, so you don't have to worry about finding things to eat, drink, or do.
In short, the InterContinental Hangzhou is truly a gem of a hotel, combining beauty, service, and facilities. Whether you're on a business trip or a romantic getaway, it will provide you with a fantastic experience. Next time I'm in Hangzhou, I'll definitely choose to stay here again!
