IHG property in Lanzhou New Area, suited to airport arrivals and early flights; not convenient for sightseeing in the city.
Crowne Plaza Lanzhou New Area is an IHG property at No. 1020 Huanghe Avenue in the Lanzhou New District, a planned development roughly 60 to 70 kilometres north of central Lanzhou in Gansu Province. The location is aimed squarely at air travellers: Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport is nearby, so the hotel suits late arrivals, early departures and short layovers. It is not convenient for sightseeing in the city itself, since the historic centre, the Yellow River waterfront and the museums are an hour or more away by road. The surrounding district is new and spacious, with wide avenues, newly built offices and industrial and logistics zones, so visitors should expect a quiet, functional setting rather than a lively neighbourhood. The hotel provides guest rooms and suites with the standard comforts of the Crowne Plaza brand, including free Wi-Fi, work desks and comfortable beds. Dining is available in the hotel's restaurants, which offer breakfast and Chinese and international dishes, and because there are few independent restaurants within walking distance, eating on site is the usual choice. A fitness centre is available. The service character is business-oriented, serving corporate guests visiting the New Area's enterprises and travellers connecting through the airport. Prices are in the mid-range, noticeably lower than the city-centre five-star hotels, which adds to the appeal for overnight stops. Visitors who want to see Lanzhou itself should plan on a taxi, airport coach or intercity rail to reach the centre, and should factor the travel time into their schedule.
