Intercontinental Hotel & Resorts Hotels in Chengdu

First off, my room was upgraded from Block D to Block E. While it's a bit further from the Ocean Park, it's still a very short walk. Plus, there's a hotel shuttle that runs between the lobby, Ocean Park, and the rooms, so no matter where you stay, it's perfectly fine. I also chatted with customer service manager Mr. Zhao about a 1-hour late check-out, and that was arranged smoothly. If you're two adults and one child, they offer a complimentary children's breakfast upon check-in, but you'll need to purchase an extra Ocean Park ticket for the child. This time, my kid spent two full days in the water. We checked in at 1:30 PM on the first day, had a quick rest, then changed into swimsuits and headed straight to Ocean Park. We played from 2:30 PM until 7 PM. On the second day, after breakfast, we changed back into our swimsuits and played until 2 PM, then came back, showered, and checked out. I feel like we could have easily stayed another day, as we spent all our time playing in the water and had no time for shopping.

The hotel lobby is grand and spacious, beautifully combining modern design with traditional Chinese historical elements. The breakfast spread was excellent, with a good variety of both Chinese and international choices. We also joined the morning Tai Chi class, which was my first time trying Tai Chi. I really enjoyed the experience! The Tai Chi master was very encouraging and even suggested that we continue practising at home. The hotel staff were also very friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our stay. If I visit this city again, I will definitely come back to stay at this hotel. Highly recommended!
