Shenzhen is also known as Pengcheng, and the shape of the InterContinental Hotel is like a Peng, which has witnessed the development of Shenzhen. The predecessor of the hotel was Shenzhen Bay Hotel, which was completed in 1982, and in 2004, OCT Group and InterContinental Hotel joined forces, and InterContinental Hotel was born.
For more than a decade, the hotel has won numerous awards. Needless to say, the market speaks for itself, with occupancy rates exceeding 70% even during downturns, making it the most lucrative five-star hotel in Shenzhen, with the highest total revenue among more than 200 InterContinental hotels in Greater China.
The antique wooden boat at the entrance of the hotel is often a magnet for photos, modeled after the Santa Maria that Christopher Columbus flew in when he discovered the American continent, and the Spanish tone of the hotel was set. You'll find red accents all over the place, bulls everywhere, and even in bathtub spouts.
The hotel has a total of 439 guest rooms, all of which are 55 square meters, and its spaciousness is almost unrivaled in Shenzhen, and the extensive use of decorative mirrors highlights the sense of space, and the design of dry and wet partitions and window bathtubs is also quite intimate. Consumers who want to book twin rooms are advised to start in advance, as the total number of such rooms accounts for only 1/3. The suites are more spacious, ranging from 75 square meters to 640 square meters. In addition to the presidential suite, the decoration style of each room is also more restrained, so you don't have to worry about the aesthetic fatigue caused by excessive luxury.
The hotel rooms are generally decorated in a European style, and the style is not luxurious, but the light wooden furniture brings a sense of relaxation. The room facilities are also relatively complete, but individual customers think that some facility brands are too "low-key", and this kind of appearance is caused by special reasons: the reason why the hotel chooses Konka TV is because Konka is a brand of OCT; Around 2000, American Standard still had a very high market share in China, and the choice of American Standard Sanitary Ware was also a common solution for Intercontinental at that time.
The aforementioned antique wooden boat also serves as a bar, while the indoor 1982 gallery is more powerful, with a pure taste of sangria; The Plaza Cafe has the largest number of diners, and the Spanish cuisine here has a good reputation. In addition, the hotel has 4 other restaurants, covering 4 styles of Brazilian, Southeast Asian, Cantonese and French cuisine. In contrast, Pitte's French restaurant is the best performer, with its chef skills amazing, and the gold medal sommelier Hans (actually from Heilongjiang) is also recognized by the industry, and the restaurant has been included in the CNPP100 rankings.
Although it is not facing the sea, the hotel has carefully equipped the outdoor pool with a man-made beach pool, and the pirate ship by the pool has also become a children's paradise, so it can be speculated that the hotel has intentionally arranged the children's pool next to the pirate ship. The hotel also has spa, SPA, yoga room, gym and other wellness programs, and on the whole, the scale is not large. More interesting is the Hua Art Museum on the northwest side of the hotel, which was originally the warehouse and boiler room of the Shenzhen Bay Hotel. Compared with the entertainment in the hotel, guests still pay more attention to the Splendid Chinese Folk Village adjacent to the hotel and the Window of the World a few hundred meters away on the west side, and the details of the scenic spot can be found in the CNPP100 ranking "Attractions" list.
The hotel has been in operation for more than 10 years, the facilities have become outdated, and some of the furniture has also appeared mildew, and the hotel has chosen to optimize the management to try to make up for these shortcomings. In recent years, OCT InterContinental Club has been repairing guest room facilities from time to time; The hotel changed the maximum volume of the TV in all rooms due to poor room insulation, which seems to be quite effective, 80% of the hotel's guests are repeat customers, of course, this impressive achievement is also closely related to the hotel's electronic profile, the hotel will try to record the guest's behavioral preferences, when the guest reappears, will be able to experience better service.
InterContinental OCT is located close to the scenic spot but within the city, making it one of the best holiday options for non-local residents. It is important to note that hotel occupancy is very high and it is best to book in advance. In addition, the hotel will host entertainment during the festive season, and it can be noisy at night, so staying in the off-season is the best option.
