IHG's InterContinental on the eastern shore of Xiamen island, with sea views toward Xiamen Bay; taxi or DiDi is the practical way from Zhongshan Road.
InterContinental Xiamen is an IHG luxury hotel at 19 Lingshiguan Road in Siming District, on the eastern shore of Xiamen island in Fujian Province, China. The name of the road refers to the consulate district, and the setting looks out toward Xiamen Bay and the sea, giving the hotel its main appeal: water views and a calmer atmosphere than the commercial centre. Zhongshan Road, the Gulangyu ferry piers and the old town lie to the south-west of the hotel and are most practically reached by taxi or DiDi, while Xiamen University and the south-coast seafront are also a car ride away.
Architecturally the property is a contemporary high-rise, designed for guests who want sea-facing rooms rather than historic character. Room types include Deluxe Rooms and Suites, and rooms facing the bay are the ones that make the most of the location. Standard facilities listed include wifi, air conditioning and a concierge, and the hotel is run to the international standard associated with the InterContinental brand.
On-site dining is provided by a restaurant and a bar, which handle breakfast and evening meals for guests who prefer to eat in the hotel after a day of sightseeing. A fitness centre is available for exercise. The eastern shore is quieter in the evenings than the old town, so visitors who want street food, night markets or local seafood typically head into the central districts for dinner and return by taxi. Peanut-soup, oyster omelettes, seafood noodles and Fujian-style tea can all be sampled around the old town.
Listed rates run from about ¥900 to ¥1,600 (roughly $132-235) per night, which is comparatively good value for a five-star property in Xiamen, though prices rise at Chinese public holidays. Service is aimed at both business and leisure travellers, with concierge assistance for transport and bookings. The hotel suits visitors who value a sea outlook and a relaxed base, and who are happy to rely on taxis for excursions. Guests can contact the hotel by phone at +86 592 330 9999, and booking details are on the IHG website for the property.
