Holiday Inn Express Lanzhou Zhengning Road

Holiday Inn Express Lanzhou Zhengning Road is an IHG limited-service hotel on Zhengning Road in Chengguan District, Lanzhou, Gansu Province, about 1.7 kilometres from Xiguan Mosque and Wuquan Mountain Park. The Holiday Inn Express brand offers a simple formula of clean, comfortable rooms and a free breakfast at a modest price, and this property follows it faithfully. The location is handy for the Zhengning Road night market, where street food stalls open in the evening, and for Zhangye Road, one of the city's older shopping streets. Xiguan Mosque, a landmark of Lanzhou's Hui Muslim community, and the hillside paths of Wuquan Mountain are close enough to visit on foot or by a short taxi ride, and the Yellow River waterfront is a few kilometres north. Rooms are offered as standard rooms and twin rooms, each equipped with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and work desks. The free breakfast buffet is a key attraction, typically combining Chinese items such as congee, steamed buns and noodles with Western staples like eggs and toast. The hotel has no full-service restaurant, so visitors usually eat in the nearby night market and local restaurants. The service character is efficient and unfussy, popular with business travellers, small groups and independent tourists wanting value. Heating is standard in winter and air conditioning in summer. The $ price range makes it one of the more economical international-brand options in central Lanzhou, and the IHG loyalty programme can add value for frequent guests.
