InterContinental Hotels NANJING by IHG

Towards the end of my holiday, I chose the tallest hotel in Nanjing. The hotel provided a room on the 67th floor with a view of Xuanwu Lake and Zijin Mountain. The most striking feature inside was the large circular bathtub. Before this, I had already traveled to Shanghai during my third year of junior high school, dealing with work all the way, and was quite tired. For dinner and breakfast, I opted to dine at the hotel. Dinner was at the Summit restaurant on the 76th-77th floors, mainly featuring Huaiyang and fusion cuisine. It wasn't as salty as typical Nanjing dishes, and the cold dish with scampi was a highlight. The restaurant's main hall faces south towards Xinjiekou. Breakfast was at the coffee bar on the 45th floor, available from 9 AM to 7 PM. You could access the observation deck with your room card, which offered views to the north: Zijin Mountain, Jiming Temple, Xuanwu Lake, and the TV tower. The duck blood vermicelli soup and baked flatbread were very Nanjing in the breakfast spread, and the rest was typical InterContinental – very rich and varied. My only minor gripe was that the fruit station didn't have the cucumber sticks and juice often found at the Shanghai InterContinental; I had to get a bowl of cucumber slices from the salad bar. I visited the independently operated heated pool and gym after dinner, but it was quite crowded due to Chinese New Year, so it wasn't particularly enjoyable. I then explored the mall next door, which was pretty much as described by Nanjing local media. The only new development is that Sunrise Duty Free is setting up shop on the first floor and is currently under renovation. In a nutshell, my review of the hotel is: Majestic and awe-inspiring! Facilities: Everything you could need. Hygiene: Clean and tidy. Environment: A unique experience. Even with a strong gale outside at night, there was no howling sound once the ventilation windows were sealed. However, before 9 PM, you could hear outdoor loudspeakers from the nearby park or square, which was unavoidable – the entire city acts like a giant amplifier. Service: Warm and thoughtful, with appropriate boundaries, which I personally find more important.

The Intercontinental Nanjing was an absolutely fantastic experience! The lake view was superb, offering panoramic views of Nanjing without even leaving the hotel – truly breathtaking. The service was warm, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful, making us feel comfortable and at ease throughout our stay. Both the environment and the service were impeccable, making for a perfect stay. Highly recommended! The restaurant on the 76th floor had amazing food, though it was a pity that many classic dishes weren't available during the Chinese New Year period. Guess we'll just have to come back next time!

This was my first time staying at this hotel, and the check-in process was very smooth. They helped us book the buffet dinner, which had a great variety of food. Our room was quiet and free of noise, contrary to what some other guests had mentioned. The room was also very clean!

The hotel's location is excellent, with a subway station right outside, making it super convenient for getting around. The staff are very service-oriented and friendly. A special shout-out to our housekeeper, AY, who was incredibly responsive and accommodating to all our reasonable requests. Thumbs up for her! 👍

Fantastic location with expansive views of Nanjing city from its highest point. The facilities, including the swimming pool, were also quite clean. Special mention to Alice, the hotel's personal assistant, who was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, always ready to answer questions and fulfill requests.
