InterContinental Nanjing
What's it like to stay at the tallest InterContinental Hotel in Nanjing?
The beauty of Xuanwu Lake is simply breathtaking! If it's your first time experiencing a stay here, there are two points that will surprise you!
Let's talk about the first point, you have to take two elevators and figure out the complex combination of numbers to get to the relevant floors. I guess a lot of people are initially confused about how to handle it, but luckily there's a friendly staff member there to teach you how to press the buttons. Then there's the second point, the Zifeng Tower is unbelievably tall! When you step into that elevator, it's like entering a magical time tunnel. As the elevator ascends rapidly, the sense of pressure from the height is like the tight squeezing of your eardrums on an airplane, giving you a strange feeling inside. This unique experience is truly memorable!
Now let's talk about the good stuff. The hotel facilities are quite comprehensive, the rooms at the InterContinental are especially large, and the room type we stayed in offered an unobstructed view of the beautiful lake. Waking up in the morning, I couldn't wait to pull open the floor-to-ceiling curtains, wow, that moment was like entering a dreamy fairyland, absolutely magical! The gym is also ridiculously large, and there's even a swimming pool. As for breakfast, although it's rich, it gets boring after a few days. It would be better if there were more variety.
'Bixiao thousands of miles high, layered buildings reach the blue sky. Overlooking the small mountains, clouds surge like the tide.' This poem perfectly captures the lofty and wonderful artistic conception, complementing the height of Zifeng Tower beautifully! Isn't it worth reading and collecting?

Stay in the iconic Zifeng Tower in Nanjing and have a beautiful dream among the clouds of Jinling
Again in Nanjing, spend a weekend with my bestie to feel the romance of early summer in Jinling~
I often see various popular photo spots of Zifeng Tower, so this time I chose to stay at the InterContinental!
The hotel is located in the 450-meter-high Zifeng Tower, where you can see this landmark from many places🏠
The location is very advantageous, with the subway station right outside the door🚇
It's close to Xuanwu Lake Park, Jiming Temple, the food street, Xinjiekou, and Yihe Road
Take a leisurely walk and enjoy the slow life~👭
This time I stayed in the Executive Deluxe Lake View Room on the 71st floor🛏️
From there, you can overlook the Xuanwu Lake and the rolling Zijin Mountain⛰️
Looking down, you see the bustling city; looking up, you see the era🏢
With the view of Nanjing city at your feet, standing by the window gives you a feeling of commanding the world
The room thoughtfully provides welcome fruit🍎
The coffee is even the Vienna Little Red Hat! It was a pleasant surprise for me who just came back from Austria!
The toiletries, hairdryer, and sound system are all to my liking, very tasteful~
Taking a bath in the evening soothes the fatigue of a day's city walk🛀
Enjoy afternoon tea and happy hour at the Executive Lounge
Relax while admiring the beautiful view, and feel completely relaxed~
The breakfast has a wide variety, start a wonderful day with a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup☀️
For main meals, you can choose from Cantonese, Chinese, and Western cuisine🍽️
Especially the sky restaurant on the 78th floor, the view is just too good!
You can also sit in the adjacent lounge and have a drink, romantic and leisurely~
Next time, I must bring my swimsuit and workout clothes to exercise in the sky pool and gym~
The wonderful experience makes me look forward to my next trip to Jinling!

Budget travelers are moved to tears, you must stay at this place when visiting Nanjing!
Nanjing | Zifeng Tower Greenland Intercontinental
Standing out among the cluster of buildings along the Xuanwu Lake, it still feels like its design is classic and graceful even after more than a decade.
Convenient transportation, right at the 🚇 Gulou Station entrance, and the mall downstairs has G-super as well as many eateries. Solved the lunch problem on the first day of stay at the Nanjing Dapaidang below.
It's very close to Xuanwu Lake Park, within walking distance, and in summer, you can go to see the lotus flowers. Basically, it's also very convenient to get to other scenic spots in the city center.
The room facilities are standard, with the slightly outdated business style of IHG, but the bathroom is very spacious.
But overall, the cleanliness and maintenance of facilities are satisfactory.
Additionally, the breakfast at this hotel deserves praise, with a rich variety and excellent Chinese cuisine flavors, leaving a memorable impression.

A Landmark of Luxury Accommodation in Nanjing! Experience a different kind of vacation in the clouds
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, are you ready to travel? Staying high allows you to see far, and the InterContinental Nanjing Zifeng is definitely the first choice when visiting Nanjing!
From the exterior, the hotel's facade features a triangular glass curtain wall that spirals up the building like dragon scales, shining in the sunlight like two mighty dragons soaring upward, reflecting the urban temperament of Nanjing and attracting countless people to find the best photo spots related to it.
The interior design of the hotel is also classically luxurious, with 433 scenic rooms above the 49th floor, offering views of both the ancient and modern cityscapes of Nanjing. Another highlight of the hotel is the panoramic glass windows with ventilation systems installed in every room, also known as 'breathing walls,' allowing guests to feel the beauty and tranquility of nature up close.
The Executive Deluxe Lake View King Room I stayed in is not only on the highest 71st floor of the hotel rooms, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Xuanwu Lake and much of Nanjing city, but also allows me to enjoy the happy hour at the Executive Lounge on the 47th floor. Whether for work or leisure, I can find my own comfortable space.
In addition to having an elegant and comfortable space, the InterContinental Nanjing Zifeng also has multiple dining and leisure facilities, offering a variety of cuisines and entertainment. From the buffet restaurant to the Chinese restaurant, and up to the cloud restaurant on the 78th floor, each place is filled with endless surprises and wonderful moments.
The hotel has been open for over 10 years, and like the city of Nanjing, it is full of culture and history. As the tallest building in Nanjing, its unique geographical advantage is obvious. Moreover, the Horizon All-Day Dining Restaurant and the guest room elevators are both on the 45th floor, making it worthwhile to visit for the high-altitude scenery and the fashionable dining atmosphere even if you're not staying at the hotel.
Stepping out of the hotel, right across the street is the Dazhongting Park, and it's only a 10-minute walk to Xuanwu Lake Park, perfect for a Citywalk. Additionally, the hotel's lobby on the first floor leads directly to the Zifeng Shopping Plaza, making it a one-stop destination for dining, entertainment, and fun. Jiming Temple, 1912 Bar Street, Ming City Wall, Hunan Road Lion Bridge Food Street, Xinjiekou... There are countless tourist spots around the hotel, truly a treasure trove waiting for you to explore.
The summer evening breeze has already reached Nanjing, let's meet at the InterContinental Nanjing Zifeng in the clouds.

Nanjing Zifeng Greenland InterContinental Hotel Experience Review (Part 5)
🛁🛁 The huge bathroom, as expected, features a design with 【transparent glass】 lol. Thankfully, there's an electric bathroom curtain that can somewhat remedy the situation. However, the peculiar thing is that the curtain's electric switch isn't a one-touch raise/lower system; you need to 【keep pressing】 and watch it slowly descend. The curtain descends at an 【incredibly slow】 pace, and you could get a sore finger before it's even halfway down. Moreover, the switch on mine was broken on the top half, so it could only lower and not raise, making this inconvenient design comparable to the complexity of a bar counter.
🧽🧼 The bathroom's decor is relatively modern, with walls covered in white tiles that, under bright lights, make it seem like a different world compared to the dim bedroom. The square washbasin isn't very large and has a rather shallow bottom, which makes it easy to splash water out when washing. At the same time, the faucet protrudes too much, standing directly above the central drain and getting in the way. Additionally, the side-mounted tap is even more inconvenient.
🧺🧻 Two hand towels are stacked on the countertop, with two bath towels hanging on the long handle directly in front. On the left, there are two mouthwash cups turned upside down, and on the right, besides the soap, there's also a large bottle of lotion provided. The hairdryer is stored in a black leather box in a crevice on the right side of the countertop and is hard to notice. The toiletry box is even harder to find, placed on a glass shelf under the countertop (wouldn't it be more convenient to switch the positions and put the hairdryer below?), but the floor towel and non-slip mat are easily visible, stacked on a tray above the bathtub, and providing four bath towels is quite convenient.
🛀🏻🚿 The capsule-shaped bathtub isn't very large, and stains on the inside are faintly visible, indicating it hasn't been cleaned for a while. The non-smart toilet is still relatively clean, and the provided disposable toilet seat covers are handy. The shower area has neither a niche nor a countertop, only a handrail, and the large bottles of shower products can only be fixed to the wall. The efficiency of the 1-second hot water is extremely high, and the water flow is strong, but the noise of the draining water is too loud, belonging to the kind that can be annoying when showering with the door closed in a confined space.
📍📍 Summary: The pinnacle of Jinling, a landmark of Nanjing, the significance and aspiration of 【Zifeng Tower】 to the people of Nanjing need no explanation. As a five-star hotel located in the 【tallest building in Jiangsu】, 'from afar it amazes, up close it astounds, upon entering it settles, and during the stay it fades,' is my candid assessment. Setting aside its halo and judging it purely as a hotel, the oppressive environment and various anti-human details lead to a subpar stay, making it hard to describe the overall accommodation experience as 【feeling at home】. Coupled with over a decade of operation and outdated design, it struggles to attract the choice and favor of new consumers. As I said at the beginning of this series of reviews, 'If you simply equate 【Zifeng Tower】 with 【Greenland InterContinental Hotel】, take my advice and don't come.' It's always majestic to view the peak through the mist, no need for irreverent play, just admire from afar.

Nanjing! It's so good to live here, the Qinhuai River is just downstairs!!
The Zifeng Tower is a bit old, the breakfast is not so good, but the view of Xuanwu Lake from the high floors is nice.
❤Recommendation reasons:
. ✅Great location The hotel is 240 meters from Zhanyuan and 320 meters from the Confucius Temple. It's a 5-minute walk to the Confucius Temple subway station🚇. The location is great. There are Shuipingfang and Maoye Tiandi for shopping and dining downstairs. After a full meal, you can go to the Qinhuai River for a breeze and a walk, which is very comfortable~
. ✅The Wabi-Sabi style decoration has a sense of design. The overall decoration of the hotel is very modern, and it's cool to watch movies with a large projector. The large floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the Nanjing CBD🌃. It's exactly the same as the picture! It's just like the dream home🛋️
. ✅The room facilities are fully equipped. For a price of only 1888👍, you can live next to the Confucius Temple. There is also a couple's bathtub, and the bathroom is also separated by dry and wet. The hotel is cleaned for each guest, clean and sanitary🛁. I will stay at this hotel next to the Confucius Temple when I come to Nanjing next time! .
🌟Highlights:
· ✅The hotel location is yyds! It's just a few steps to the subway station. It's so convenient to travel. It's close to the Confucius Temple and Xinjiekou. The average price for this location is only 3⃣️8⃣️! Nanhu Park is nearby, and there are many authentic Nanjing snacks in the popular street. There are food everywhere downstairs, and you are not afraid to order takeout! ·
✅The picture is exactly the same as the real thing! The light is sufficient and the space is large. It's even better than a ⭐ hotel. The view outside the window is the Wutong Avenue, the scenery is beautiful. The whole room is simple and clean. There is a huge screen projection facing the big bed, with membership! It's like adding wings to a tiger when chasing dramas!! ·
The Hungry Tourist
What is the experience of lying in the clouds
Hotel location:
The hotel is located in the Zifeng Tower in the commercial center of Nanjing City, a well-known landmark in Nanjing; the hotel is not far from Xuanwu Lake and Purple Mountain scenic line, the overall environment of the hotel is high-end luxury, it is very suitable for staying in Nanjing.
Hotel rooms:
The executive room I stayed in was super large in size, with an excellent view, facing Xuanwu Lake; because it was an anniversary stay, the hotel also thoughtfully prepared beautiful white swans and flower hearts; the hotel's spare parts are byredo, one of my favorite toiletries brands, the most classic white romantic series, super useful.
Hotel restaurant:
The breakfast is very rich, the variety is definitely enough to eat, Qinhuai special dishes, especially want to mention the special duck blood vermicelli soup, it is really delicious. The executive room I booked also comes with a cloud afternoon tea on the 78th floor, which is great.
Entertainment facilities:
The hotel's gym and swimming pool are both great, the gym even has professional coaches to help guide, this is very rare in hotels; the swimming pool is temperature-controlled, the temperature is moderate, and the children have a lot of fun swimming.
Hotel service:
I especially want to mention that this is the fastest service response hotel I have ever stayed in. The service staff will deliver whatever you need right away, without any delay, which really deserves praise.

hotel with panoramic view of Nanjing
Conveniently located in Nanjing Gulou district, the Nanjing Intercontinental hotel offers rooms and facilities that enjoy panoramic views of the city of Nanjing. Most beautiful is the view on the Northeastern side that is on Xuanwu lake and the Purple mountain. Rooms exposed to the West are a bit hot or take time to cool down with the aircon.
Rooms are actually a bit smaller than they appear on pictures in Ihg and travel agents websites. Service is good. Staff are trying to make your stay a pleasant one. But sometimes organisation is slow. The breakfast offers good and large choice of well food and again a stunning view of the city on the 45th floor.
It was a fair stay for my wife's birthday. Although the hotel arranged for a nice little birthday cake for 4, I was a little disappointed that they first did not meet my written request for a lake view room while I am an Ihg member and that guests booking via C trip got free upgrade to lake view room as they wrote in their reviews. Anyway we got a change of room due to the aircon failure in our first allocated room on the 58th floor to a lake view room on the same floor. The reception staff was on this matter very understanding and professional.
