Fodor's Expert Review InterContinental Qingdao
98 Ao Men Lu, Qingdao, Shandong Sheng, 266071, China
Adjacent to the Olympic Sailing Center and a short walk from the Marina City shopping complex, this ultramodern hotel has contemporary rooms, many with expansive marina or coastal views and all with dark wood paneling, built-in mood lighting, massive LCD TVs, and stand-alone bath tubs. If price is no object, splurge on one of the Aqua Suites, which come with private sun terraces equipped with their own hot tubs.
PROS
- one of Qingdao's most luxurious lodgings
- marina location
- gorgeous rooms
CONS
- among the city's priciest hotels
- a little far from city's main attractions
- no-smoking floors and rooms don't always smell as such
