InterContinental One Thousand Island Lake Resort by IHG

I recently stayed for one night at the InterContinental One Thousand Island Lake Resort, an IHG Hotel in Qiandaohu, and it was a delightful experience. The hotel's unique location, far from the hustle and bustle, offers a serene escape with a breathtaking view of the lake. The check-in process was seamless, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. My room was immaculate and very comfortable, featuring excellent amenities. The private balcony with a panoramic view of the lake was the highlight, perfect for relaxation and soaking in the beauty of the surroundings. The resort offers several additional services that enhance the stay. I particularly enjoyed the short hiking tour and the guided trip to the best spot to watch the sunset over the lake—an unforgettable experience! While the remote location adds to the charm and tranquility, it’s worth noting that the hotel is a 40-minute drive from the nearest town. I recommend driving or stocking up on essentials beforehand. Overall, the value for money is incredible, especially for the stunning views and peaceful ambiance. I highly recommend this resort to travelers seeking a quiet and rejuvenating getaway.

This hotel is the luxury resort in the area yet it does not keep the 5 star hotel services. 1st of all, it is really not convenient to get there unless you drive by yourself. The hotel is located by itself at the corner of a peninsular. It's about >25km to the town. The taxi driver is not very willing to go inside to pick you up or send you there (they will negotiate a back and forth price). You can try to use Didi (Chinese uber) to get them but usually takes quite a while to have a response. 2nd of all, given its unique position, the hotel provides services in a premium rate. For instance, asking a hotel to call cab costs you 4 times of regular price. Renting a bike costs 8 times (literally). Not mentioning renting a car, jet cruise and so on. It makes me feel that since we were stuck there, we had to buy the services from the hotel without any choice. Thank god I had to manage to use Didi to get out of there. 3rd of all, staffs are so not professional. I can't believe I was in 5 star hotels. It can't even be compared to those elite private boutique hotels. To me the service is mostly 3 star hotel (I am being nice to give 3 star). For example, at checkin, they just told me my breakfast were not included. I had to use VPN to connect to my gmail to show them my expedia order. The breakfast was very so so. The staffs are not familiar to the neighborhood. However, I do like to point out, the facility maintained quite ok. loved ping pang and the garden is so pretty

The scenery of the hotel is very charming and the facilities are very complete. It is very suitable for taking a vacation with family.The complimentary travel photos are also very nice.
