InterContinental Kaohsiung by IHG

As a IHG Diamond Ambassador, I have just completed our first stay in this iconic luxury business hotel in Kaohsiung. It was our first vacation to south Taiwan, and It was also our first trip to this exciting port city in Taiwan. Our stay consists of 4 nights (10-14 March) and it is a mixture of both IHG Destined and redemption stay. This property is very popular with conference participants and holiday-makers and the hotel rates are high, corresponding to the demand from customers. Just some highlights without writing a thesis: - Room - We were grateful to have been upgraded to a junior suite for all four nights. The room is obviously spacious and luxurious. The kind gesture of a welcome card, fresh flowers (very beautiful orchids), fruits and snacks is appreciated. Housekeeping is great. Strong shower pressure is well appreciated. Requests for firm and memory foam pillows were also well received and delivered to the room. The bedding is truly amazing - we had difficulty getting out of the beds every morning as they are so comfortable! - Executive Lounge - We were invited to check in at the executive lounge, having access to the annual lounge pass. We enjoyed having a dedicated quiet place. The Food and Beverage is excellent, especially the absolutely OMG pastries and cakes during tea-time. The dinner consists of some light-bites from the various restaurants (and the sakura shrimps fried rice from Zhan Lu led us to have dinner at the restaurant proper - amazing culinary experience). Also, we regretted not having more breakfasts in the club lounge, as the restaurant was generally packed during breakfast. The young bespectacled chef cooked very nice made-to-order dishes on the spot for us during breakfast in the lounge on the 14th March. It is obvious he is very passionate about cooking, and he is very friendly as well. - could not remember his name but great job. Overall, the F&B quality in the hotel is outstanding. - Staff - Friendly and professional, yet reserved, as compared to the extroverted and very bubbly staff we have encountered in the Indigo Alishan where we have stayed the night before. The personalities were just different in various parts of Taiwan. As we got to know each other better during the stay, we enjoyed chatting with the lounge staff, and they wanted us to enjoy our time in the hotel. Overall, a very nice hotel stay. We look forward to be back in a next trip to Kaohsiung.

Fantastic place to stay in Kaohsiung. Very new and clean, vibe the high class vibes. The hotel was staff were very friendly and professional. The gym had more machines and slightly bigger, similar to the pool area. Location wise was Close to public transport and right across to a mall, pretty much walking distant to the famous Love Pier. All in all it was great for my longgg stay and recommended!

Stayed five nights at the InterContinental Kaohsiung and had a fantastic experience. I live abroad and come back to Kaohsiung once a year to visit family and friends. I’ve stayed at Indigo and Marriott in the past, but this time at the InterContinental was the best by far. From the moment we arrived, we could really feel the difference,the top-notch service and attention to detail that you’d expect from a true five stars hotel. Really happy with our stay and grateful for the lovely memories. Highly recommend!
