Hotel Indigo HEILONG LAKE by IHG

Hotel Indigo and InterContinental are essentially connected. For swimming and other activities, you need to go to the InterContinental. There's a shuttle bus available, but you might have to wait if there are many people. This is the only minor inconvenience. Otherwise, everything else was excellent. The hotel room layout is very well-designed, and the room setup is practical with complete amenities. The family activities are abundant, and my child loved them. Breakfast was a bit crowded indoors. The variety of breakfast options was relatively limited; I hope they can increase the selection.

Clean and spacious with good service. The water play area is also very big, so the kids had a great time.

I was very satisfied with the environment; it was quiet, completely unlike the noisy InterContinental. If it weren't for seeing so many people in the breakfast restaurant, the whole hotel felt as if very few guests were staying. I really liked the decor style. The shuttle bus was very convenient. I was initially worried it wouldn't be as convenient as the InterContinental, but it actually was, and my family was very happy with it. We'll definitely go back again! Although there were some minor issues during check-in, the manager resolved them all very well! Here are some drawbacks: the pillows were just okay; I didn't sleep well. The TV couldn't cast content, so we couldn't just relax in the room and watch a movie at night. There was always some low-frequency noise in the room, especially a persistent sound like a phone vibrating, which seemed related to some electrical appliances. Besides the fan noise, the air conditioning also made other sounds. Overall, the good outweighs the bad!

First off, Light, the Guest Relations Manager at Indigo World Financial Center Black Dragon Lake, is incredibly nice. The hotel's aesthetic truly caters to my taste. It's designed in a Republic of China-era Sichuanese mansion style, featuring traditional blue bricks and gray tiles combined with Western arched doorways, made up of 8 independent small buildings. The spiral staircase in the lobby, the gramophone, and vinyl records naturally exude a retro vibe; just put on a long dress, and any photo looks like it's from a Republican-era movie. The hotel even offers free qipao rentals for photoshoots, and there's a vintage classic car and a rickshaw in the courtyard, completely immersing you in the atmosphere. Most importantly, it's incredibly quiet, a stark contrast to the InterContinental next door with its hundreds of rooms, ensuring a wonderfully peaceful night's sleep. The most amazing part is that while Indigo emphasizes tranquility, it's part of the same group as the InterContinental, meaning all facilities and family activities are shared. A shuttle bus ride of just a few minutes takes you to the InterContinental's Paradise Island Water Park, where you can enjoy the 6600-square-meter infinity pool and kids' water fortress to your heart's content. During summer, there are also activities like fishing in rice paddies and bubble shows, so you'll never have to worry about entertaining the kids. It's essentially paying for a quieter experience while enjoying the best of both worlds.

Overall, the room was alright. The flooring showed some wear and tear. For service, there was a minor hiccup during check-in, but the duty manager promptly addressed it, so the overall experience was still quite good. We've brought our kids here three times already. The water park is definitely a highlight!

The entire hotel has a retro vibe, perfect for taking photos in a Qipao – absolutely gorgeous! It's quite close to the InterContinental, just a few minutes by shuttle bus, and you can participate in the InterContinental's activities and water park, which is super convenient. Plus, the InterContinental tends to be too crowded, and the rooms there are relatively older. For families like ours who prefer peace and quiet, this was an excellent choice. However, at the InterContinental, apart from the water park, most children's activities come with a fee, so it really depends on each family's preferences. The room itself is spacious, and the bathroom area is also generous and not cramped, allowing for a nice bath in the evening. Breakfast is served at this hotel, and the food is good. The coffee cups are quite lovely too! 👍 The butler service was also warm and attentive.

Our butler, Light, contacted us a day in advance to understand our check-in needs and was incredibly responsive to all our requests – truly commendable! 👍 This stay truly exceeded our expectations. Previously, we stayed at the Intercontinental next door, which was a bit noisy, humid, and crowded. Breakfast there felt like a scramble! This time, we booked the Angsana Hotel right next to it. We received welcome fruits upon check-in, and the bathroom was especially spacious, perfect for a family of four like ours (two adults, two kids) who need to dry a lot of swimwear and caps! The shuttle bus was very convenient. We love the lively atmosphere of the water park, but prefer the quiet comfort of this hotel for relaxation! The value for money is outstanding, and the breakfast on the second day perfectly suited our family's tastes. We enjoyed a peaceful breakfast before heading back to the water park. Our kids said that next time we come to the water park, they'd definitely choose Angsana again. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone – a truly comfortable and peaceful stay!

Booked this for my parents, and they had a great time. It's really good! The hotel has a Republic of China era style, and the staff, facilities, and public areas are shared with InterContinental. The service is excellent, and there are plenty of activities, making it perfect for a staycation.

The hotel is great, very quiet and clean. The butler and the front desk ladies are all very nice. There's a hotel shuttle bus for round trips, which is quite convenient. Next time I come to Meishan, I'll definitely stay at this hotel again. My child also loved it.
