InterContinental Hotels Zhengzhou

Cognac leather armchairs positioned to catch the city light give the rooms here a quietly considered feel. This upscale hotel in Zhengzhou's commercial core runs 268 rooms dressed in dark walnut and blue wave-patterned rugs. The in-house restaurant covers Cantonese and Henan cooking in private dining rooms, and the bar on the seventh floor stocks thirty-plus gins and over a hundred wines, which is more reason to stay in than most hotels manage.
