The environment at InterContinental Yining Hotel is great yo~#HotelCeiling

Nestled in the Ili River Valley, I discovered Xinjiang’s first InterContinental Hotel—the Xinjiang Huamei Shengdi InterContinental Yining Hotel. It truly embodies the spirit of “InterContinental Life, Exploring the World”! 🏔️ From the moment you step into the lobby, you are surrounded by rich Kazakh culture, with yurt elements, grapevine shadows, handcrafted wood carvings… every detail is so beautiful that my camera memory was almost full. Even the pool’s waterfall design is poetic, and every snap looks like a masterpiece! ✨【Immersive Cultural Experience】 • Rooms start at 48㎡, equipped with bathtubs and separate walk-in closets. Open the window to see the Ili River view, and if you’re lucky, you can even catch a glimpse of the Tianshan Mountains (remember to pick a sunny day~). • The designer perfectly blends nomadic elements with modern aesthetics. Even the bedside decorations hide stories of camel bells and ancient trails—culture lovers will be thrilled! • Produced by the state-owned Huamei Shengdi, the “China speed” from blueprint to completion in 15 months is impressive, though some areas of the new hotel have a slight odor. 🌄【Prime Location】 📍No. 999 Binhe Avenue, boasting a golden view of the Ili River. Within walking distance to Six Star Street and Kazanqi Folk Village, perfect for shopping, eating, and sightseeing all at once! Take an evening stroll along the riverside path and watch the sunset glow on the water—the atmosphere is instantly elevated~ 💁【Butler-Level Service】 The front desk staff are not only good-looking but also thoughtfully recommend secret local food spots only locals know! Room service is available anytime; even if you want instant noodles at midnight, they’ll deliver it in a flash (don’t ask how I know 😂). 🍴【Hidden Highlights】 • Must-try breakfast items: baked buns and hand-pulled rice! Dining by the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sunlight filtering through the grape trellis is stunning~ • The rooftop pool’s “Water Curtain Cave” design is perfect for silhouette shots—remember to wear a solid color swimsuit for better photos! • At night, you’ll find a lavender sleep aid pouch (a Xinjiang specialty!) placed beside your pillow—detail lovers will be moved to tears… ⚠️【Tips】 • Better value during the off-season; winter snow-view rooms have a unique charm • Recommend choosing a high-floor river view room for a broader view of the Tianshan Mountains • Parking is a bit tight; self-driving guests are advised to contact in advance to reserve a spot This place is not just somewhere to sleep for a night but more like a condensed Ili cultural museum. Who can resist the luxury of soaking in a sunlit bathtub while gazing at snow-capped mountains? Next time I come to Xinjiang, I plan to stay here for three days straight!
