[2025 Kunming Stay] Travel Guide for InterContinental Kunming (Updated Apr)

Coming to Kunming, experiencing the local customs of Kunming~ This time we chose [Kunming InterContinental Hotel] to stay at~ [Hotel Design] The architectural style integrates Eastern and Western cultures, as if a drunken architect accidentally mixed the two styles together during the design. Some people say it looks like a huge cake, while others think it is a flattened skyscraper. No matter how you describe it, this hotel will definitely make you laugh. [Fun Restaurant] In the hotel's restaurant, you will find that the names of the dishes on the menu are very interesting. For example, they have a dish called "Monkey Fried Noodles", but when you order this dish, the waiter will tell you that their chef is in a bad mood today and doesn't want to make this dish. This hilarious service attitude allows you to not only enjoy delicious food during the meal, but also have an unforgettable entertainment experience. [Special Elevator] When you walk into the elevator, you will find that the arrangement of the buttons is very interesting. These buttons look like they are pressed randomly, without any rules. You may find that after pressing the "2" floor button, you are actually sent to the "15" floor. This is not just a simple mistake, but a deliberate design by the hotel to bring more surprises to guests. Kunming InterContinental Hotel is a wonderful place that makes you laugh. Whether it is its unique appearance or hilarious service attitude, this hotel will bring you a unique and unforgettable travel experience!

InterContinental Kunming, a dream choice for family vacations 1. Travel guide around Dianchi Lake 1. Haigeng Dam: In the early morning, depart from the hotel and stroll under the shade of the sycamore trees. You can reach Haigeng Dam in just a few minutes. Here, you can see seagulls flying freely in the sky and enjoy a pleasant morning (the best time to watch seagulls is from December to February). 2. Laoyu River Wetland Park: It is very convenient to get to Laoyu River Wetland Park on the west coast of Dianchi Lake from the hotel, where you can fully experience Kunming's magnificent landscape and fresh air. 3. Yunnan Nationalities Village: Only 1.7 kilometers away from the hotel, it is a great place to learn about the multi-ethnic culture of Yunnan, and you can have fun with your children for a whole day. 2. Hotel Details 1. 📍Geographical location: InterContinental Kunming enjoys a superior geographical location, close to Dianchi Lake. It is only a few minutes' walk to Haigeng Park and Haigeng Dam. It is across from Xishan Forest Park, Yunnan Nationalities Village and other attractions. There are many delicious foods around, making it very convenient to travel and find food. 2. 💰Per capita consumption: about 600 per person, very cost-effective 3. 🏘️Room type/layout: When you enter the hotel, the design theme of "Beautiful Butterfly" is particularly eye-catching, just like a group of colorful butterflies dancing by the Dianchi Lake. The interior decoration cleverly combines traditional Yunnan characteristics with international fashion elements, and each room is full of artistic atmosphere. This time I chose the Egyptian God Parent-Child Room. My child was very excited as soon as we entered the room. The room is well laid out and spacious, giving children enough space to play. 4. 🛌Supplies/Facilities: In the parent-child room, towels, cups, toothbrushes, pajamas, etc. with cute Egyptian god patterns are all available. There are also floating ducks to accompany children to play in the water, as if bringing children into the mysterious world of ancient Egypt. The children had so much fun playing in the small tent and rocking horse that they didn’t want to go out. In addition, the room is equipped with educational encyclopedia readers, allowing children to learn knowledge while playing, making education entertaining. Safety facilities such as bed rails and anti-slip stools are also very considerate, providing protection for children's exploration journey. In addition to the special facilities in the parent-child rooms, the hotel's other facilities are also complete and can meet the vacation needs of the whole family. 5. 🧹Soundproofing/sanitation: The hotel has excellent soundproofing, and it is very quiet to rest at night without being disturbed by the outside world. The sanitation is also very good, the room is clean and tidy, making people feel at ease staying there. 6. 🍽️Food enjoyment: Hotel dining is a highlight. The newly launched golf-themed afternoon tea, with its sweet and sour taste, brings a unique natural enjoyment to your taste buds. Breakfast offers a wide variety of international cuisine and is served until 10:30, making it especially friendly to families with children who like to sleep in. In the evening, you can go to the Colorful Butterfly Bar, order a glass of wine, listen to the beautiful singing of the resident singers, and enjoy a relaxing vacation. 3. Take photos and check in The hotel is a great place to take photos inside and outside. The exquisite interior decoration and beautiful outdoor gardens make any photo you take look great. Especially in the morning or evening, taking photos by the Dianchi Lake or the Haigeng Dam is a great way to capture beautiful scenery and capture many wonderful parent-child moments. 4. Other Tips 1. If you travel to Kunming in summer, remember to bring sunscreen and a sun hat, take sun protection measures, and protect yourself and your children from UV rays. 2. I also visited the InterContinental Kunming during the Spring Festival. I usually stayed in the western part of the city before, but this time I experienced the InterContinental near Dianchi Lake. The location of the hotel is very convenient for sunbathing and feeding seagulls, but other travel may be a little inconvenient. Sometimes I don’t want to go out and order takeout. But the hotel upgraded me to a suite on the first floor. The room was very large, with a large household refrigerator and bathtub, as well as an outdoor garden with two hot springs, where it was very comfortable to soak my feet. The welcome fruit is very fresh and the restaurant has a rich variety of food to satisfy the tastes of the whole family. Although I didn’t get to eat delicious fruits this time, maybe it was still early in the season, but the overall holiday experience was still great. I highly recommend it for families with children to try!

Kunming, located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, boasts three major river systems: the Jinsha, Nanpan, and Red Rivers. Around 30,000 years ago, humans began inhabiting the Dianchi Lake area. From the Warring States period to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Dian people around Dianchi Lake established the Dian Kingdom and created the Dian culture. Chu general Zhuang Jiao and his troops arrived in the Dianchi area, but because their return route was blocked by the Qin State, they remained and Zhuang Jiao became the King of Dian. Later, during the Western Han Dynasty, the Dianchi area was incorporated into the Central Plains. The Nanzhao Kingdom built Tuodong City, which was called Shanchan City during the Dali Kingdom period. Sofitel Kunming is located on Huancheng South Road in Xishan District, near Wuhua Sports Center. Each room has oversized floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of Kunming. Facing south, guests can enjoy the sunrise in the east and the sunset over Dianchi Lake and Xishan Mountain in the west. The night view is also spectacular. This is my third visit to Kunming. My last stay was also at Sofitel Kunming, during which I mainly visited Xishan Scenic Area, Dragon Gate Grottoes, and Kunming Old Street. This time, I first checked in to InterContinental Kunming during the Lunar New Year holiday, which is the perfect season for gull watching. It was stunning. I strolled to Haigeng Dam by Dianchi Lake to see the magnificent Dianchi Lake, Xishan Mountain, and the seagulls from Siberia. I had planned to fly to Tengchong, but since I hadn't booked my flight in advance, I had to try to get a ticket on Trip.com. I ended up staying at the familiar Sofitel for three more nights. The hotel offers excellent value and allowed me to experience the festive atmosphere of Kunming. I also visited the Yunnan Provincial Museum, Yunnan Nationalities Village, and Guandu Ancient Town. Everything went smoothly, and I got my flight ticket as planned. What a wonderful time! I will definitely come back to Kunming if I have the chance.

Chef Allister Tan, the newly appointed Executive Chef from Malaysia, brings his unique culinary wisdom and passion for food, using an extraordinary formula of deliciousness to embark us on a fantastic journey to Southeast Asian flavors.

The diverse cooking methods—cold dishes, steaming, grilling, teppanyaki, sashimi, and casseroles—perfectly blend the natural flavors of the ingredients with the chef's creativity, maximizing the deliciousness of each dish.🌈 Especially the grilled seafood, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an irresistible aroma, it's simply impossible to stop!

Finally, the tiramisu, with one bite, the rich cocoa aroma and silky smooth texture spread in the mouth, truly a perfect ending.☃️

Dear friends, InterContinental Hotel’s Long Street Western Restaurant has something new! The newly appointed executive chef, Chef Allister Tan, brings Malaysian cuisine directly to Kunming! As the "big brother" of Kunming buffets, Changjie Western Restaurant is redefining deliciousness this time with inspiration from Malay cuisine. The must-try Singaporean chilli crab, with rich and spicy sauce wrapped around the plump crab meat, is super satisfying in every bite; there is also the classic bak kut teh, with medicinal herbs and pork ribs stewed into a mellow soup base that warms both the body and the heart. You don’t need to take a plane, you can start a "Southeast Asian journey on the tip of your tongue" in Spring City.

InterContinental Kunming: The perfect combination of family travel and luxury experience I recently brought my baby to Kunming and stayed at the InterContinental Kunming, which started a journey full of surprises. 🏘️️️Room type/layout: The hotel rooms show signs of ten years of age, but the butterfly elements scattered throughout add a unique charm. The layout of ordinary rooms is reasonable to meet the living needs of the family. The Chaoyunxuan Suite is even more unique. It is a duplex space of over a thousand square meters. The first floor is a spacious two-bedroom suite, and the second floor combines mahjong, KTV, tea room, restaurant, outdoor swimming pool and extra-large terrace. Although the style has early characteristics, it was undoubtedly a very creative design at the time. Even now, you can feel its unique charm. 🧹Sound insulation/sanitation: The sound insulation effect is excellent, and you can rest in the room without being disturbed by the outside world. It is very quiet. The sanitation is good, the rooms are spotlessly clean, and all kinds of facilities are kept clean and tidy, making people feel at ease staying here. 🛌Supplies/Facilities: The hotel's garden is exquisite. Although it is not large in area, the layout is delicate. Although the small hot spring is limited in size, it can bring warm and comfortable enjoyment in winter. The room is full of sunshine. In Kunming in January, the room temperature is even higher than that in Northeast China. This is due to the abundant sunshine. The front desk thoughtfully sent an air cooler, which cleverly solved the overheating problem. The hotel has convenient transportation, and there are two convenient routes to Haigeng Dam. Turn left from the lobby to go to Zhengma Road, and turn right to reach the Haigeng Conference Hall through the parking lot (when there is no meeting in the hall). The walk takes about 15 to 20 minutes. It is recommended to take the auditorium route. Along the way, you can appreciate the plants that are rare in the north and are labeled with their names, which increases the outdoor learning time for parents and children. 💗Other tips: Haigeng Dam is a great place for family outings, and there are many seagulls in this season. The first time we went there was around 4pm, so there were fewer seagulls. When we arrived before 10am the next day, we saw flocks of seagulls, and the scene was spectacular. According to the hotel staff, the best time to watch gulls at Haigeng Dam is before noon, especially before 11 o'clock. In the afternoon, you can go to Haihong Wetland to watch gulls. Kunming has plenty of sunshine and long sunshine hours, which is especially suitable for outdoor activities. This time I brought the kids here mainly to spend the winter. The older brother participated in a tennis winter camp, and the younger brother participated in a nature education winter camp, and both gained a lot. In terms of clothing, Kunming has a warm climate, similar to the temperature in Shenyang in early spring from April to May. A three-piece set of polar fleece, thin down, and thin down vest is very practical. At the same time, because Kunming’s weather is dry and the ultraviolet rays are strong, remember to bring sunscreen, sunglasses and lipstick. Summary: InterContinental Kunming has both the warmth and comfort suitable for family travel and the luxurious experience brought by the special suites. Whether it is the room facilities, surrounding tours, or thoughtful services, they all add many wonderful memories to the parent-child trip and are highly recommended.

Kunming, a city of eternal spring, is always full of surprises. I remember the time I took my little one there, we chose to stay at the InterContinental Kunming and began our family trip. From the floor-to-ceiling windows, the shimmering Dianchi Lake and the rolling mountains in the distance complement each other, and at that moment, all the fatigue seemed to disappear.

Stayed in the Executive Balcony Room at the InterContinental Kunming during the Qingming Festival. I saw mixed reviews about this hotel online, so here's my real experience. Check-in: We took a taxi to the east gate and found out it was the back door of the hotel. The hotel is quite large, and the lobby is very far from the east gate. The security guard enthusiastically contacted the concierge to pick us up from the east gate and take us to the lobby (p2). IHG Rewards Club members have a separate check-in room. The check-in process was very fast. We received two drink coupons and a welcome gift. Welcome fruit was delivered to our room every day (p1). The front desk staff personally showed us the way and took us to the concierge. The concierge took our luggage and took us to our room and gave us a brief introduction. Room: We were prepared for the old facilities before check-in. After check-in, we found that although the exterior was old, it did not affect our experience. The balcony (p3) has a side view of Dianchi Lake. The suites face Dianchi Lake. There are many mosquitoes in Yunnan at night, but the hotel has good mosquito control measures. There is also mosquito repellent in the room, so we did not feel uncomfortable at night.

I drove to Yunnan and my car was due for maintenance. I chose to stay in Kunming and chose the InterContinental Hotel. The hotel is next to Dianchi Lake and is perfect for relaxing. You don't even need to leave the hotel to enjoy your trip. When you arrive at the hotel lobby, the concierge will help you with your luggage. When you check out the next day, you can also contact the concierge to help you with your luggage. The service is very nice. 3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣We stayed in a balcony view twin room, which was fully equipped⭐⭐⭐ 7️⃣8️⃣9️⃣🔟Executive benefits include breakfast and dinner for 2 people, and you can also invite 1 person for dinner for free. The dishes are average. Breakfast is served in 2 halls. I recommend the Western restaurant, which has everything you want to eat. 1️⃣1️⃣—1️⃣4️⃣The hotel lobby is very spectacular. There are also many shops in the lobby. The hotel garden is suitable for a walk after dinner and is also suitable for taking photos. 😊 Overall, the InterContinental Hotel in Kunming is a five-star⭐hotel in terms of service, facilities, environment, and ingredients.

#travelanywhere Staying at Intercontinental Kunming promises a blend of modern luxury and cultural exploration. Located in the heart of Kunming, known as the "City of Eternal Spring," the hotel offers stylish rooms with panoramic views of the city skyline or the picturesque Dianchi Lake. Guests enjoy impeccable service and a range of amenities including fine dining restaurants, a rooftop bar, and a serene spa offering traditional Chinese treatments. The hotel's central location allows easy access to local attractions like the Yuantong Temple and the vibrant Green Lake Park. Whether relaxing in the elegant rooms or exploring the vibrant city, Intercontinental Kunming provides a sophisticated retreat with a touch of Yunnan's distinctive charm.

Check-in and Check-out: There were quite a few people queuing at the front desk on the day, and I saw many people waiting at the front desk when passing by the main building late at night. The occupancy rate was quite high, but fortunately, I didn't have to wait for a room that day. I got my room card and checked in immediately after queuing, and the procedure was very fast. Check-out was simply returning the room card. Facilities and Services: I stayed in the VIP building this time, and even the first floor was very quiet. There was no odd smell in the room, and the facilities were not particularly old; the hardware was fine. The essence of the hotel lies in the public areas, with pleasant courtyard views outside the windows, and each building has its own characteristics. If you stay in the room for too long, you can go out for a walk, which is exactly the kind of urban resort life I dream of. I walked so much that I had no intention of going to the gym or the pool to look and take photos; I only took some pictures of the exterior. Services were problem-free. Dining: The breakfast was quite good, with many special snacks and even Eggs Benedict, which were of a high standard. I didn't get to visit the lounge, so I can't comment on that. Cleanliness: No issues. Additional Expenses: None this time. Value for Money: In the over one thousand price range, there probably aren't any competitors. Just the aesthetic alone crushes a host of high-priced business hotels. If you have the budget and want to stay nearby, I suggest trying it out for its extremely high value for money.

The hotel is located in the core area of Dianchi National Tourism Resort, at the foot of Xishan Mountain and by the shore of Dianchi Lake. The overall design is themed around the 'elegant butterfly', embodying the concept of beauty, grace, ecology, and nature that butterflies represent. Inside, butterfly elements are extensively used for decoration. From the high-ceiling space of the lobby with butterfly-shaped light fixtures hanging, to the butterfly murals on the walls of the guest rooms, details are everywhere. By blending the new Chinese style with Southeast Asian style, the hotel creates a relaxed and leisurely vacation atmosphere with indoor Chinese wooden furniture and structures, outdoor tropical vegetation, and Southeast Asian style pavilions in the garden environment. The spacious guest rooms range from 56 to 190 square meters, mainly decorated in earth tones, with butterfly-print wallpapers, beige carpets throughout the floor, and wooden screens, etc. The children's theme rooms are full of fun, and the hotel also thoughtfully provides children's educational games and picture books, which the kids will absolutely love! The hotel offers a choice of Changjie all-day Western restaurant and Chinese restaurant. The Chinese restaurant's ham stir-fried with boletus, sweet and sour spare ribs, crispy buns, as well as fresh flower cakes and cookies are really delicious! If you don't feel like sightseeing, you can enjoy exquisite afternoon tea at the Butterfly Bar, or swim in the pool for a comfortable vacation~Hotel | Kunming Intercontinental Hotel Address | No. 5 Yijing Road, Xishan District, Kunming, Yunnan

|InterContinental Hotel Kunming! Hotel|InterContinental Kunming The hotel is located on the edge of Dianchi Lake, with an independent tree-lined road leading into the hotel, which is very ceremonial. According to the concierge, the hotel covers an area of ​​100,000 square meters, with 8 6-story podium buildings and more than 500 guest rooms, covering an astonishing area... Diamond Ambassador members have their own CI space. The front desk is warm and professional. They also gave a box of Pu'er tea as a check-in gift, which is very thoughtful. I really like the super high ceilings in the hotel lobby and the art installation that resembles a flock of flying butterflies. The hotel has its own garden, which is lush and beautiful. A lot of fresh flowers are used in the public areas, and the texture of the details is in place, showing the taste of the owners of Kanglv. The room was upgraded two levels to a garden view room on the 5th floor. It was about the same size as the balcony and had plenty of space. The decoration style is traditional Intercontinental style. The bouquets in the room also use fresh flowers. It seems that flowers in Kunming are really cheap... The fitness facilities and executive lounge are all on the first floor, offering views of the hotel's interior garden landscape, where you can exercise and enjoy your body and mind. The lounge is not very large and provides a set of afternoon tea and fruit buffet in the afternoon. I didn’t attend the happy hour so I don’t know how the quality is. At noon, I tried the hotel's Black Pearl One Diamond Restaurant, Xiangdaoxuan. The duck had crispy skin, tender meat and overflowing fat aroma. The fried Red River green-skinned duck eggs with black truffle and the porcini fried rice were both average, lacking the aroma of mushrooms. In-house guests and IHG Diamond card holders can enjoy a 15% discount. Breakfast includes freshly squeezed juice and the most diverse yogurt selections I have ever seen. The rest is pretty standard, not very local. The hotel has a kids club, which looks pretty big from the outside and is very convenient for taking the kids out for a walk. The service is considerate and enthusiastic, the public areas are good for shopping, the catering is not as good as expected, but overall it is satisfactory.

A brief introduction to the guest rooms: The illustrated room is a suite type of the hotel with a view of Dian Lake. The living room is full of design sense, with well-placed paintings, tea tables, chairs, and sofas. The guest bedroom has a spacious space and a grand bed, and the bathroom has double sinks on the opposite side plus a wet and dry separation, which is very exquisite. The room behind is the hotel's single-bedroom small villa type, enjoying a small garden with a simple soaking pool. Comments on the public areas: The InterContinental Hotel, located behind the Haigeng Auditorium, is very well situated, with its conference hosting position ready to emerge. The hotel covers a very large area, including a small lake. Entering the lobby from the main road, there is a beautiful wedding lawn in front of the lobby. Walking into the lobby building, the butterflies on the hotel's ceiling are very comforting to look at. Walking straight to the lobby bar, the lobby bar does not have a view of Dian Lake, but it has both indoor and outdoor areas, quite secluded. Walking from the lobby bar to both sides, the hotel's banquet hall area is very large and quite magnificent, with the Western restaurant's grand banquet hall fully embracing the Western style. Going downstairs from the side of the banquet hall, the buffet restaurant has a more casual style, and the Chinese restaurant area is very large with many private rooms, but there is no view of Dian Lake. The gym equipment is very new, the swimming pool is not small, and the spa is particularly exquisite, ranking among the top standards of hotels in the Kunming city area. The executive lounge directly faces the lake inside the hotel and offers a rich content. Overall, this hotel's standard is quite high, highly recommended.
