Shenzhen's third IC | InterContinental Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Hotel

The group's third InterContinental™️ just opened not long ago, and now Shenzhen has three ICs, from the eastern resort area, to the central city, and now to the western exhibition area. Even with three properties, their styles, characteristics, and locations are all distinct, attracting completely different clienteles. The latest, InterContinental Shenzhen WECC, is owned by a powerful local alliance between China Merchants and OCT (Overseas Chinese Town), ensuring the creation of an even more exceptional brand. The hotel is part of a complex, so the basement parking is shared with the building, making parking spaces quite limited. It's likely you'll end up parking far from the elevator since there's only the B1 level. Adjacent to a shopping mall, it's quite convenient if you don't want to stay in the hotel, you can also take a stroll. During 'International Convention and Exhibition' events, nearby hotel prices skyrocket, but otherwise, it's a nice vacation destination. As soon as you step into the lobby, you can tell this InterContinental is different. The overall design is based on black and gold, with occasional touches of dark green and light pink, exuding an elegant atmosphere, which is also completely different from the other two InterContinental hotels in Shenzhen. The amenities are from the perfume brand BYREDO, established in 2006, which is also the brand IC has unified with after switching to larger bottles. I like its minimalist fragrance, not too aggressive, very comfortable, and the abundant foam has strong cleaning power. The hairdryer is from Dyson, the convenient steamer is from tonney, and I really like the extensive use of marble in the bathroom and the shelves provided for guests' personal items. The red footstools and carpets in the guest rooms are eye-catching. The Chinese basket-style storage contains tea leaves and coffee capsules, but I feel the tea bag brand is a bit lacking. The current view outside the window is average, but it's said to be in the planning stages, so just draw the curtains and enjoy the room service. The hotel's gym is outsourced to 'Kas Fitness & Swimming', which I noticed is a high-end brand under 'Goodlife Fitness'. I don't understand why they didn't continue with the waterfall brand commonly used by OCT, even though it's outsourced. The executive lounge at the InterContinental Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Hotel is a highlight. It doesn't offer breakfast and opens at 10:30. The hotel's overall design seems to be concentrated here, and if you don't visit the lounge, you'll miss out on a lot of the experience. Looking forward to the hotel's signature restaurant opening, and coming back for another visit.
