Opened in 2007,the Inter-Continental Shenzhen is ,for the moment ,the most glamorous and luxurious hotel in the city .

The location on the Shennan Road is midway between the downtown and airport.Its walking distance to Splendid China and Chinese Cultural Folk  Villages which are Chinese theme parks .

Like its sister properties the Crowne Plaza and the Interlaken OCT Hotel ,this property is ownes by the Overseas Chinese Town group.

It also sports a theme ,this time all about Spain ,The obsequious Chinese stuff greet guests in electronic orange matador jacketss with shocking pink tights or red ,black and white polka dot flamenco dresses.In a case of too much of a good thing,these well-meaning  young staff swamps guests with attention.

The huge lobby is  a dramatic of art combining traditional Spain  architecture with a domed ceiling and avantgarde decorations in black ,white and red with occasional splashes of orange.
