Boasting a fitness centre, InterContinental Taiyuan is situated in Taiyuan in the Shanxi region, 7 km from Taiyuan Wangfujing Department Store. Featuring 2 restaurants, the property also has a spa and wellness centre, as well as an indoor pool. Shanxi Medical University is 10 km from the property. The hotel is located in a very representative part of the city, with the river boulevard, a large shopping gallery, a park, and a plaza with museums and a concert hall all nearby. Taiyuan does not have good public transport, so taxis are the only viable option from the railway stations. The room is spacious and offers the quality one would expect at this price and star level. The staff speak passable English – something that is, unfortunately, becoming increasingly rare in China these days.
