⭐️The room type we stayed in this time was a deluxe corner room. After opening the door, the 270-degree sea view that came into view was breathtaking😍. When the weather was good, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel could also be clearly seen. ⭐️The bathroom adopts a dry and wet separation design. The bathtub is large and the water output is also very good (about 6-7 minutes full 😊). It is equipped with an electric toilet and a hair dryer with good air volume. ⭐️The curtains are electric so you don’t need to get out of bed frequently to operate them. The TV is also considerately placed on the left and not facing the end of the bed. ⭐️As the flagship of HUALUXE in Greater China, a lot of thought has indeed gone into the design. The lighting✨, TV placement, and sofa positions have all been carefully considered. The color scheme in the room is rich but calm; everything is both reasonable and natural. ⭐️The feeling of lying down and watching the sea may only be known by experiencing it, which is even more rare for a city hotel✌. Some styles may seem familiar, but it is also another way of experience in the process of continuous optimization✅. Only when you really come to the scene can you feel the uniqueness of the hotel.

An international brand under InterContinental Group~ The overall design incorporates Lingnan culture and Shenzhen intangible cultural heritage elements From aesthetics to details, the charm of Chinese aesthetics is everywhere The lobby presents the style of Lingnan courtyard, integrating Chinese ancient charm with modern art The elements of Xiangyunsha, flowers, and ripples of waves show Chinese aesthetics, elegant and light luxury~ The guest room design is simple and stylish. This time I stayed in a king-size bed room with a large space, but the view outside the window was average. The service was still very good. For this package, I am not very satisfied with the breakfast, but the constant temperature of the swimming pool is good~

Crowne Plaza Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center: 8/10|||IHG has been expanding rapidly in Shenzhen in recent years, opening three brands in Bao'an alone: InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, and Hualuxe. However, the locations of these three hotels are not ideal. The InterContinental and Crowne Plaza in Bao'an were both opened for the exhibition center and are too far from the city center. The Bao'an Kingkey Hualuxe is slightly closer to the city center, but the surrounding area is full of urban villages, residential areas, and barren facilities, making it hard to determine the hotel's target clientele. : Fortunately, the hotel has good hardware. The heavy floral arrangements, staggered walls, and cold marble give the lobby a sense of ceremony. The hotel rooms have a different flavor, with warm wood-toned decor and a small sofa in the corner that provides a sense of security. However, it's worth noting that the sea view rooms face the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Highway, which can be noisy. The quieter side faces residential areas with no view to speak of. : The breakfast is mediocre and not particularly memorable. The lounge is closed, and the noodle bar is a substitute, but the food is decent. : The newly opened hotel's fitness facilities are naturally good, and the feeling of having the pool to yourself is great. : Overall, the hotel's hardware is not a problem, but the location is a bit awkward. There are no shopping malls, attractions, or subways nearby, and it is surrounded by residential areas, urban villages, and factories, making it not recommended for business or tourism. However, it is worth trying for a staycation, as the price is the lowest in its class, and the points redemption is also cost-effective.

Rongxin HUALUXE Hotel Xiamen Haicang once made me respect the IHG brand "HUALUXE Hotels and Resorts" because the brand has done a great job of exploring and promoting Chinese beauty. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The HUALUXE Shenzhen Bao'an is the first 2.0 version of the brand, which interprets and promotes Chinese aesthetics in a stunning way, while also deeply exploring and presenting the beauty of Shenzhen's local culture, such as the beauty of the ancestral hall, the beauty of the mangrove forest, the beauty of the intangible cultural heritage of fish lantern weaving, the beauty of the food and drink of the basin dish, and the beauty of the fish and dragon blessing. The brand's philosophy of "Chinese aesthetics in life" is fully promoted. 🐟🐟🐟 In other words, you can visit this hotel as a museum, and you can take pictures everywhere, and guests can get a considerable number of beautiful photos. 📸📸📸 The third floor of the hotel is home to the Cai Feng Lou Chinese Restaurant, the Xian Yan All Day Dining Restaurant, and the Mian Jia in the Xian Yan Restaurant. This noodle house is not simple, it is a private noodle house, but it is really good value for money. 🍜🍜🍜 The Cai Feng Lou Chinese Restaurant offers delicious dishes, whether it is Cantonese cuisine or dim sum, the traditional dishes are authentic, and the innovative dishes are also excellent. 🥢🥢🥢 The breakfast at the Xian Yan All Day Dining Restaurant is excellent, with almost every stall having a signature dish, and there are pictures next to it to "guide" you, so diners can't miss it. 🍞🍞🍞 The Jiu Ming Yi Lobby Lounge is also a great place to take photos, and the view when the sun shines in is amazing. Every afternoon at 3:00 pm, there is a tea tasting session at the "Shen Shi Tea Party", which is free for guests to participate in. 🍵🍵🍵 The hotel's swimming pool and gym are open to guests, and the executive lounge, which is also very beautiful, is in the works. The IHG hotel lounge is very valuable, and I will definitely come back to stay after the lounge is open. 🍸🍸🍸 4560 Bao'an Avenue, Xixiang Street, Bao'an District, Shenzhen (near Gushu Metro Station), from CNY 670/room night. 💰💰💰

Affiliated with the InterContinental Hotels Group, this was my first InterContinental experience. I chose to use 'high-end hotel' rather than 'luxury hotel' in the title for several reasons: 1️⃣ Hotel Positioning: HUALUXE is likely in the second tier of InterContinental's brands and is marketed as a hotel brand targeting Chinese guests. Its positioning is 'high-end' rather than 'luxury.' Compared to other hotels, its positioning is similar to Marriott, Renaissance, Hyatt, and Sheraton. We will share personal insights on these other brands in Shenzhen next. 2️⃣ Price: At a current price of 600+, this is the lowest among other hotels of the same level in Shenzhen! Considering its location, it is close to the airport, with relatively weak surrounding infrastructure and limited scenic views. From the perspective of the target audience, it mainly serves nearby residents and travelers needing airport access (though there is a closer Hyatt near the airport). Considering its newness, the hotel opened in mid-November 2024, and its overall service structure might still be in the testing phase, with the executive lounge not yet open. 3️⃣ Hardware: Frankly speaking, the design is impressive. Whether it's the well-organized room layout, the thoughtfully designed lobby, or the overall interior decor, the Chinese style elements are prominent and look beautiful under the lighting. Although the flowers are fake, they do not detract from the aesthetics. The indoor pool design is standard, but the view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is somewhat disappointing. The executive lounge is not open, and the lobby bar's tea is the highlight, though the snacks are not highly recommended. 4️⃣ Restaurant: 'Noodle House' and breakfast share the same space. The former's taste is excellent and truly represents the hotel's dining level. Breakfast is also commendable and worth trying, outperforming Marriott and Renaissance in this aspect. 5️⃣ Service: Thanks to HUALUXE for providing re-employment opportunities for many older friends. Seeing faces of different ages is highly commendable. However, there is still much room for improvement in overall training! During peak times, the restaurant staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. The doormen or concierges appeared somewhat indifferent, while the older staff were more enthusiastic and polite than the younger ones! 💪🏽 Looking forward to its continuous improvement.

Shenzhen Baoan Hualuxe Hotel in-depth experience summary HUALUXE Shenzhen Bao'an has a unique charm and the overall experience is remarkable. The following is a detailed explanation for you from each aspect. 1. Room Experience 1. 🧹Soundproofing/sanitation: The sanitation condition is excellent, and I would give it 10 points out of 10. The hotel is relatively new and well maintained overall. Every corner of the room is clean and tidy, making you feel at ease staying there. 2. 🏘️Room type/layout: The room layout is reasonable, but in terms of decoration, compared with the gorgeous public areas, the guest rooms are slightly inferior, and can get 8 points. The room adopts a mix of black and wood colors to create a high-end texture. However, part of the side wall is ordinary white wall, which affects the overall aesthetics to a certain extent. 3. 🛌Supplies/Facilities: The facilities can reach 8 points. It is equipped with a high-speed hair dryer of unknown brand but with strong wind power, which is convenient and fast; there is also a smart toilet, which improves the comfort and convenience of use. 2. Dining Experience 1. Breakfast: The overall performance of breakfast can get 7 points. The food variety and taste were average, nothing special. Moreover, the restaurant's meal-picking route is not very reasonable. In order to get different meals, guests need to walk back and forth in the restaurant. 2. Lounge: The lounge is not open yet, but the hotel offers a choice of three noodle vouchers as an alternative. The portions are generous and the taste is spicy. There are many small restaurants around the hotel, and business is booming, providing guests with more dining options. The lounge experience is temporarily rated 7.5 points. 3. Service Experience 1. Room upgrade: In terms of room upgrade service, the hotel usually provides guests with regular first-level upgrades, which is average and can be awarded 7 points. 2. Check-in: When checking in, except for the lack of doorman service, other processes were relatively smooth, in line with the service level of a normal hotel, and the overall score was 7.5. 3. Attitude: The attitudes of all hotel staff were average and they did not show any special enthusiasm; in this respect, the hotel could get 7 points. 4. Fruits: Welcome fruits were not delivered promptly upon check-in. After reporting this to the front desk, the hotel quickly provided them. The fruits delivered included a large dragon fruit and a variety of small fruits. The overall freshness and variety were good, and it scored 7.5 points. 4. Facility Experience 1. Public area: The public area is a highlight of the hotel. It is very distinctive and unique in style. It is not like the traditional Hualuxe Hotel, but more like the Indigo Hotel full of artistic atmosphere. The overall design and environment creation can be given 8.5 points. 2. Fitness: In terms of fitness facilities, the gymnasium is small and the variety of small equipment is not rich enough. As I haven't tried the swimming pool, I won't comment on it yet, but judging from the gym alone, the overall wellness facilities deserve a score of 7. 5. 💗Other tips 1. The hotel's public areas are very beautiful and worth exploring. 2. As the lounge is not open at present, guests who want to experience the complete Hualuxe hotel service are advised to wait until the lounge is open before checking in, when they may be able to have a richer experience. While the hotel could use some improvement at this point, it is still a place worth considering for its beautiful public areas, newer rooms, and good dining options.

The bathroom adopts a dry and wet separation design, the bathtub is very large, and the water output is also very good (it can be filled in about 6-7 minutes). It is equipped with an electric toilet and a hair dryer with good air volume. The curtains are electric, so there is no need to get out of bed frequently to operate them. The TV is thoughtfully placed on the left, not directly facing the end of the bed. As the flagship of HUALUXE in Greater China, a lot of thought was indeed put into the design. The lighting, placement of the TV, and the location of the sofa have all been carefully considered. The color scheme in the room is rich but calm, and everything is reasonable and natural.

Shenzhen Bao'an Kingkey Hualuxe Hotel will open on November 14, 2024, and is the first Hualuxe brand hotel in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. - Prime location: Located at 4560 Bao'an Avenue, Xixiang Street, Bao'an District, about 5 km from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, with easy access to highways, airports, and seaports within 15 minutes, and a one-hour business circle covering Hong Kong, Zhongshan, Dongguan, and other cities in the Greater Bay Area. - Cultural integration: Adhering to the concept of "Chinese aesthetics in life", the design incorporates Lingnan cultural elements such as ancestral hall culture and intangible cultural heritage skills, with guest rooms inspired by the Shatoujiao fish lantern dance in Shenzhen. - Rich dining options: Cai Feng Lou Chinese Restaurant offers exquisite Cantonese cuisine, Xian Yan All Day Dining Restaurant offers creative fusion dishes with a Chinese style, and Mian Jia offers warm Chinese late-night snacks. - Complete meeting facilities: 6 multifunctional meeting venues with a total area of nearly 1,100 square meters, including a 688-square-meter pillarless banquet hall, equipped with modern audiovisual equipment. - Comfortable rooms: 242 rooms and suites with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the sea, Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge, and other beautiful scenery, equipped with high-end furniture and modern facilities. - Excellent fitness and entertainment: The fitness center is located on the top floor, with a strength training area, aerobic training area, and high-altitude swimming pool with beautiful views.

▪️There are not many hotels in Shenzhen with beautiful pools, and it is rare to be able to lie by the pool and watch the sunset and the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge. As a public area design, such a layout is really generous. After all, most owners want to make the top floor a presidential suite or a restaurant. ▫️The fish lamp dance decoration echoes the theme of the hotel. The color tone of the executive lounge is cooler and has a stronger contrast with other public areas. To be continued...｜More updates coming｜Public area｜
