Crowne Plaza Kunming City Centre

Crowne Plaza Kunming City Centre is an 18-storey IHG-brand hotel at 399 Qingnian Road in central Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province in southwest China. The location puts it close to Dongfeng Square and the Panlong River, in the commercial core of the city where Nanping Pedestrian Street, Jinbi Road and many of the main shopping and dining streets are within walking distance or a short taxi ride. Green Lake Park lies to the northwest and is a popular place for an evening stroll, and several metro stations serve the surrounding area, which makes getting around without a car straightforward. Changshui International Airport is to the northeast of the city, roughly an hour away by road depending on traffic. The tower format means many rooms on higher floors have city views, and the hotel is rated five-star within the Chinese system. Crowne Plaza is IHG's business-oriented upscale brand, and the hotel generally attracts corporate travellers, meeting groups and leisure guests who want a central address with dependable international standards. Rooms in this category typically include work desks, good wifi and comfortable beds, though visitors should confirm exact room types with the hotel. Dining in Crowne Plaza hotels in China normally includes an all-day restaurant with a broad breakfast buffet of Chinese and Western dishes, and often a Chinese restaurant for lunch and dinner; guests should check current outlets directly. Facilities of this class commonly include a fitness centre and meeting rooms. Service is business-oriented and professional, with staff used to international visitors and group bookings. Typical nightly rates for five-star hotels in Kunming run from around CNY 900 to 2,500 and rise around Golden Week and Spring Festival. Because of Kunming's high-plateau climate, with mild days and cooler evenings at about 1,900 metres above sea level, the hotel is a practical year-round base for city sightseeing and onward trips to Dianchi Lake, the Western Hills and the Stone Forest.
