Shanghai | Experience a Unique Stay in a Deep Pit

The InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland, also known as the Shimao Quarry Hotel, has been hailed as a "world architectural wonder" and a "hotel below the horizon." It is the world's first five-star hotel built in an abandoned quarry. Its innovative design takes advantage of the natural landscape to create a "reverse growth" vertical building. Built within an 88-meter-deep abandoned quarry (originally a quarry from the 1950s), the hotel makes full use of the curved shape of the quarry walls. The main structure consists of two floors above ground and 15 floors extending 88 meters below ground level. Breaking multiple patents with its design, this architectural marvel is considered a "must-stay" destination by many travelers. The rooms are spacious and bright, equipped with smart electric curtains, coffee machines, and warm, tidy furnishings. The shower room and smart toilet are separate from the bathroom, which also features a bathtub. From the balcony, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the quarry. In the evening, you can watch the light and shadow show on the cliff face from the comfort of your balcony without having to go down to the platform below.
