InterContinental Chengdu Global Center
Located inside the New Century Global Center — one of the world's largest buildings — the InterContinental offers exceptional resort amenities including a 400-meter indoor beach, waterpark, and IMAX cinema within the same complex. A one-of-a-kind hotel experience in southern Chengdu.
InterContinental Chengdu Global Center occupies a dedicated hotel tower within the New Century Global Center, a structure of extraordinary scale that holds the distinction of being one of the largest buildings in the world by total floor area. Located in the High-tech District of southern Chengdu, Sichuan, the complex is approximately 12 kilometres from the historic city centre and is served by Metro Lines 1 and 18, with direct access to Tianfu Avenue. The surrounding area forms part of Chengdu's emerging southern urban expansion, home to technology companies, international schools, and a rapidly developing restaurant and retail scene.
The hotel occupies multiple floors of the Global Center's dedicated hospitality tower, offering spacious contemporary rooms and suites with clean-lined modern décor, high-speed internet, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Room categories range from standard Deluxe Rooms to Club-floor suites that include lounge access with complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails. The IHG One Rewards programme is fully active at the property.
The defining attraction of staying at the InterContinental Global Center is unimpeded access to the extraordinary indoor facilities housed within the same building complex: an artificial indoor beach with wave simulation, a full waterpark with slides and pools, multiple cinema screens including an IMAX theatre, a kilometre-long shopping boulevard, and dozens of restaurants and cafés. Hotel guests gain seamless access to this infrastructure without leaving the building — a proposition unique in Sichuan. The hotel's own F&B outlets include a lobby restaurant serving international and Chinese cuisine, a hotel bar, and a Club Lounge with views across the Global Center atrium. The hotel spa and fitness centre are well-appointed, and for business travellers the Global Center hosts convention facilities capable of accommodating large-scale exhibitions and conferences, making the InterContinental the natural accommodation choice for event attendees.
