We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    After 10 years of construction, InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland is scheduled to open this October in China’s Songjiang District.

    This isn’t your average hotel!  16 of the 18 floors are underground.  The 2 remaining floors are submerged inside a 33-foot-deep aquarium!  The hotel is located on the site of an abandoned quarry, 20 miles from Shanghai.

    Starting in October, You’ll Be Able to Use IHG Points to Stay at the InterContinental Shimao Wonderland Hotel in China!

    The hotel has 337 luxurious rooms and suites with breathtaking panoramic views of Shenkeng Quarry.

    Every room (besides those underwater) will have a balcony with views of waterfalls that spill down the hotel walls.  The subterranean floors will have a pool and water sports center and for those daring enough, the hotel features a spot to go bungee jumping and rock climbing.

    The New Hotel Is a Magical Paradise Where You Can Eat, Swim, Bungee Jump, and Live Like Royalty

    The InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland is environmentally friendly and plans to generate its own geothermal and solar energy to power its everyday functions.  The hotel was built by British firm Atkins, which was behind the 5-star Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai!

    Room rates for cash and award stays are currently unavailable.  But I’m definitely adding this hotel to my bucket list!
