The InterContinental Changchun High Tech Zone, designed by the internationally renowned design team CCD, takes inspiration from the concept of a "Prosperous Mansion in the North," presenting a hidden and luxurious space where nature and humanity intertwine.
Delving into the local culture of Changchun, the building's facade is designed with the ice flower as its prototype, interpreting the beauty of the northern ice and snow through modern architectural language; elements of ice flowers and crystals are incorporated into the interior design, creatively presented through a rich variety of materials and textures such as natural wood, metal, and glass, creating a dreamy atmosphere of a northern secret realm in natural light and shadow.
Adjacent to Changchun's Baihua Gardens & Baimu Garden, the hotel also skillfully extends this urban greenery into its indoor spaces. Oak wood, white marble with a snowflake pattern, and green plant walls complement each other beautifully, with an open layout and carefully designed indoor greenery landscapes enhancing each other, constructing a serene oasis amidst the bustling city.
"The room decor was luxurious, and the view from the window was excellent, with sunlight filling the room during the day, making for a very comfortable stay. A big thank you to Lauren for her consistent attentiveness and warmth.
**Facilities**: The facilities were brand new and odorless. The indoor temperature was just right, and the windows were sparkling clean. There was an air purifier, dehumidifier, coffee machine, and capsule coffee maker. Both the smart toilet and curtains worked perfectly, and the floor-to-ceiling window let in plenty of light. The multi-level lighting adjustment in the room was very comfortable!
**Cleanliness**: The cleanliness was exceptional; everywhere was spotless!
**Environment**: The hotel's soundproofing and the surrounding environment were very pleasant. Parking was super convenient; they even registered my license plate before check-in, making entry and exit a breeze.
**Service**: I want to particularly highlight the service. I've been traveling around several cities in Jilin Province recently and have stayed in a few five-star hotels, but the InterContinental Gaoxin was by far the most satisfying! Whether it was the service, facilities, or environment, it was simply the best! Before check-in, Lauren contacted me to prepare all the items I needed, and when I got to the room, everything was already there. When they learned my child had a fever, they gave us several bottles of water. Additionally, we ordered chicken soup to help him sweat, and my child said it was delicious. Throughout our stay, whenever we had a request, the response was incredibly quick. Moreover, the overall hotel service was excellent; any requests were handled extremely fast and promptly, surprisingly so – it was the quickest service I've experienced in all the hotels I've stayed in over the years. The front desk, restaurant, housekeeping, and customer service staff all had excellent attitudes.
The breakfast had a huge variety. The juices were freshly squeezed, the bread was freshly baked, and the beef noodle soup truly lived up to its reputation, with lots of beef. The dinner buffet was à la carte and made fresh, not the typical cold self-service type. While the variety wasn't huge, it was still excellent for a hotel buffet (much better than the Wanda buffet)!
Here's a ranking of the five hotels I've stayed at recently, for anyone who needs it:
(1st: InterContinental Changchun Gaoxin, 2nd: Yanji Hongju Hotel, 3rd: Wanda Jin Changbaishan West Slope, Hunchun Jifeng International Hotel, 4th: Atour S Hotel Changchun Jilin University First Hospital (parking inconvenient, otherwise acceptable), 5th: Not recommended: Sheraton Changbaishan West.)"
