InterContinental Hotels SHENZHEN WECC by IHG, an IHG Hotel

The hotel overall is perfect and up to international 5-star standard re the outlook and services. The 2D2N stay is terrific. I have put remarks of celebrating my birthday here with them and the hotel arranged a birthday cake and some simple celebrated decoration in the room which is quite nice. Just 2 notes to foreign travellers: 1. The hotel location is a bit far from Futian border - you might locate it via searching “Exhibition Centre”, but it is actually close to the Shenzhen airport so it is about 1-hour train trip from Futian. 2. You ought to put on swimming caps to all swimming pools in Mainland China. Otherwise, you will either have to pay CNY50 to get one from the hotel or you’re just not allowed to go into the pool. Of course you could get online takeaways for a cheaper cap, but please be reminded the hotel location is quite far so the soonest delivery might be expected in 30 minutes. Personal advice is to bring your own swimming cap. I have reflected #2 above to the front desk that there is no notice on the hotel website for such “dress code” and the staff listened. Per we checked out they offered to be a little gift, compensating the experience of not getting into the swimming pool, which I appreciated the gesture. My husband and I enjoyed to stay and we might come back again.
