Stayed at a hidden gem hotel in Zhengzhou! So comfortable

📍InterContinental Zhengzhou Dennis Plaza｜Preferred Choice As a new first-tier city, Zhengzhou has relatively limited high-quality hotel options. I usually prioritize JW Marriott or Le Méridien, but most Marriott hotels in Zhengzhou are over ten years old, and older hotels inevitably have some shortcomings. 🔆 However, this stay at the InterContinental Zhengzhou was overall very good. The InterContinental Zhengzhou Dennis Plaza, as a high-end hotel under the InterContinental Group, is the first InterContinental hotel in Zhengzhou. Since opening in 2023, it has become a leader among high-end hotels in Zhengzhou. As a new generation InterContinental, it fully meets the standards of a luxury hotel. 🏠 Room type: Garden View King Room 🧑‍💼 The staff are highly professional; check-in at the front desk was smooth. The doorman promptly helped carry luggage to the room upon arrival, showing thoughtful service. 🛁 The bathroom features a dry and wet separation design, with a marble vanity paired with a metal-framed mirror, giving a solid and elegant feel; the separate bathtub is perfect for soaking and relaxing after check-in; the double sink in the washroom is very convenient; the smart toilet adds extra detail, and the full set of Byredo toiletries is of excellent quality. 🚶 Nearby activities: Adjacent to Dennis David City, where shopping, dining, and cinema needs can be met in one place; a 10-minute walk to Erqi Square allows you to experience the lively atmosphere of old Zhengzhou; a 20-minute drive to the Henan Museum offers a chance to explore Central Plains culture and history; right next to the intersection of Metro Lines 1 and 3, making travel efficient and accessible throughout the city; convenient access to Zhengzhou East High-Speed Rail Station and Xinzheng International Airport. 👍🏻 The mattress is on the softer side but provides good support, and pillow selection service meets different needs; the room does not have wall-to-wall carpeting but uses matte brown wood flooring, creating a simple, comfortable, and clean look; the traditional desk is replaced by a flexible round table, and the heavy leather chair is swapped for a lightweight, comfortable swivel chair, making sitting more pleasant; equipped with a narrow bezel Samsung TV that supports screen casting and can be adjusted in direction, fully meeting current hotel standards. 🏃 Compared to gyms in other hotels, this one offers not only the usual treadmills and ellipticals but also a stair climber, making the equipment more comprehensive. I heard the owner is a fitness enthusiast and has specially added many high-quality machines; the pool measures 25×8 meters, is usually not crowded, has clean water, and swimming here is very comfortable. 🥣 The food variety is rich, including traditional Chinese and Western breakfasts as well as Henan specialties like Hui noodles and spicy soup, allowing you to experience local flavors. The restaurant could improve details, such as arranging the drink menu more neatly and adding menus at the juice station for easier identification; some desserts need texture improvement; the black coffee served is pure espresso without ice or water, resulting in a strong flavor. 🧹 Soundproofing/Cleanliness: Good sound insulation ensures a quiet resting environment; cleanliness is excellent, with tidy rooms and public areas, making guests feel secure. 🏘️ Room/Layout: The Garden View King Room has a reasonable layout with efficient space use, a simple and comfortable overall style, and the wood flooring makes the room feel fresher. 🛌 Amenities/Facilities: The mattress is comfortable with pillow selection available, and the bedding quality is good; bathroom facilities are complete, and Byredo toiletries enhance the experience; the room’s furniture, TV, and other facilities meet modern needs and are easy to use; the gym and pool equipment are high quality and meet exercise needs. 💰 Average cost per person: As a high-end hotel in Zhengzhou, the average cost is around 500 RMB, but considering its excellent hardware, thoughtful service, and convenient location, it offers good value for money. 💗 Other tips: The hotel’s location is excellent, convenient for shopping, sightseeing, and travel; the breakfast includes Henan specialty dishes worth trying; the gym is well-equipped, ideal for fitness lovers; enjoy a relaxing soak in the bathtub after check-in; if the restaurant improves food details and service, the experience will be even better. Summary: The InterContinental Zhengzhou Dennis Plaza, as one of the newer high-end hotels in Zhengzhou, has clear advantages in hardware facilities, service quality, and location. Although the restaurant has some room for improvement, overall, it is a preferred choice among Zhengzhou hotels, offering a comfortable and convenient stay for travelers.
