InterContinental Holiday Inn Grand Opening, 8 Minutes to the Park + Full Family Buff

A New Landmark Next to Shanghai Disneyland! When the fairy tale genes of Magic City meet InterContinental’s high-end travel aesthetics, the InterContinental Holiday Inn Shanghai International Tourism Resort will grandly open in early summer 2026! This new landmark occupying the core C position of the resort not only fills the gap of high-end family hotels in the area but also offers a magical setup with an 8-minute walk to Disneyland, direct access via Metro Line 11, and immersive fairy tale design, making countless family travelers exclaim, “The Disney trip finally has an ideal place to stay,” instantly trending on social media upon opening. 1. Dreaming in Fairy Tales! Family-Friendly Rooms Starting at 42㎡, Full of Surprising Details As a sincere effort by the InterContinental Holiday Inn brand to cultivate the Shanghai resort area, the hotel’s design is like “bringing Disney magic into the room.” Upon entering the lobby, a dreamy dome with flowing light lines and giant sculptures of classic Disney characters make every photo a perfect check-in shot. The front desk thoughtfully prepares children’s welcome kits, including cartoon stickers, mini paintbrushes, and park guides, instantly winning the hearts of little guests. Rooms start at 42㎡, spacious and comfortable. The family rooms hide clever touches: custom-themed bedding printed with Mickey elements, children’s exclusive tents and non-slip mats by the bed, bathrooms equipped with adjustable-height washbasins and child toilet seats, maximizing safety in every detail. All rooms feature InterContinental’s custom comfortable mattresses and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, with some high-floor rooms offering distant views of the Disney castle, where guests can catch the romantic moment of fireworks from bed at night. Additionally, the minibar is stocked with Shanghai specialty snacks, free mineral water and tea bags with unlimited refills, and 24-hour room service ensures business travelers enjoy thoughtful care. 2. A Feast for the Taste Buds! Three Restaurants Covering Chinese and Western Flavors, Breakfast Unlocks Disney Energy InterContinental Holiday Inn’s dining never disappoints, launching three signature restaurants at opening to satisfy taste buds from morning till night. The “Enjoy All-Day Dining” restaurant features an open kitchen, with breakfast known as the “Disney energy station” — freshly made pan-fried buns, Shanghai soup dumplings paired with Western-style bacon and crepes, plus a children’s dining area offering cartoon-shaped rice balls and mini burgers, ensuring both parents and kids eat happily. The seafood buffet dinner is generous, with unlimited fresh crayfish and king crab legs, paired with craft beer to soothe post-adventure fatigue. “Pin Xuan Chinese Restaurant” specializes in local Shanghai and Cantonese flavors, with signature dishes like “Black Truffle Crab Tofu” and “Shanghai Braised Pork” authentically seasoned. Families dining can order the “Family Fun Set” and receive a children’s exclusive dessert platter as a gift. The “Lobby Lounge” is the perfect afternoon tea spot, with Disney-themed desserts that look stunning — strawberry mousse shaped like Mickey’s head, colorful macarons, paired with freshly brewed flower tea or coffee, making afternoon moments both relaxing and photogenic. During the opening period, spending a certain amount can be redeemed for IHG points or Disney merchandise, a must for food lovers! 3. Convenient Transportation! 8 Minutes to Disneyland, Multi-Modal Hub for Citywide Travel The hotel’s location is a “golden spot” in the resort area, just an 8-minute walk to the Disneyland park security entrance, saving an hour of commuting compared to staying downtown, allowing guests to enter the park early and avoid crowds. Public transportation is very convenient, only 600 meters from Disneyland Station on Metro Line 11, a 5-minute walk, with a 30-minute metro ride to central business districts like Xujiahui and People’s Square. Taking Resort Area Bus Line 1 seamlessly connects to Disneytown, Shopping Village, and other attractions, with the last bus extended to 11:43 PM, perfectly matching park closing times. Self-driving guests need not worry either, as the hotel offers free parking and electric vehicle charging stations. Starting early makes it easy to secure a spot. From the hotel, it’s a 20-minute drive to Haichang Ocean Park and 30 minutes to Shanghai Astronomy Museum, covering a one-stop family vacation itinerary. It’s only 25 kilometers from Pudong International Airport, making business trips or short vacations efficient and convenient. 4. Comprehensive Facilities! Family + Conference Dual Mode, Unlocking Diverse Vacation Experiences The hotel has a dedicated 200㎡+ children’s club for families, complete with a picture book area, building blocks, and DIY crafts, with daily professional staff leading Disney-themed activities, allowing parents to relax. Additionally, the indoor heated pool and 24-hour fitness center are open simultaneously, with a shallow pool area suitable for kids to play and a fully equipped gym to maintain workout routines during travel. Conference facilities are equally impressive, with a 1,200㎡ column-free banquet hall and 8 multifunctional meeting rooms, equipped with advanced audiovisual equipment and a dedicated conference team, accommodating meetings or weddings for up to 500 people. Booking conference packages during the opening period includes perks like upgraded tea service and welcome gifts, making it an excellent choice for corporate team building and business meetings. The hotel also partners with Disney to offer exclusive “Stay + Tickets” packages, allowing guests early park entry one hour before opening, easily enjoying popular attractions without queues.
