Based on official IHG information. Confirm room details, facilities and package inclusions with the hotel before booking.

Some journeys begin with a little time set aside for each other. A walk through the city, a dinner with room for conversation, a morning left open. A short stay can find a rhythm of its own.

In the Asia New Bay Area, InterContinental Kaohsiung brings Art Deco spaces, distinctive dining and an indoor pool into that kind of city escape. Its official IHG information and award announcement offer a shared thread: care for the setting, and care for each arrival.

01 / A SENSE OF ARRIVAL

Arrive, and give yourself a little time.

A hotel can be a starting point for getting to know a city. IHG describes the rooms at InterContinental Kaohsiung through their Art Deco design, bringing geometric lines together with contemporary technology. For anyone drawn to design, the building and its interiors deserve a moment of attention.

The Asia New Bay Area places the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center, Sanduo shopping district and the surroundings of the 85 Sky Tower within the wider itinerary. Choose a place that interests you, plan around weather and transport, and keep part of the afternoon for settling in.

02 / A ROOM WITH A VIEW

Choose a room you would like to linger in.

Start with the time you hope to spend in your room. IHG lists Classic Rooms at around 36–46 m² and describes separate baths, rain showers, BYREDO bath products and BOSE audio. Reading, a bath or a little music can have a place in the day.

Travelling together is a chance to talk about the details each person values: a view, a bed preference, the bathroom or breakfast the next morning. Confirm the full room category and offer with the hotel; bed preferences depend on availability on arrival. A little planning helps the stay reflect the trip you have in mind.

03 / A TABLE WORTH STAYING FOR

Make time for a table you both enjoy.

A dinner to look forward to can give a weekend its centre. IHG introduces WA-RA through Japanese straw-fire cooking, with immersive projection art in the dining space. It is worth exploring in advance if you enjoy a conversation between food and setting.

At SEEDS, local ingredients meet Asian flavours and Western cooking. Let the tastes of the people travelling with you guide the choice between restaurants. Pick a meal you would like to share, and leave enough time to enjoy being together.

Rooms and dining can be planned side by side. Once the stay is booked, ask about restaurant availability, the current menu and service times, and mention any dietary needs. Having those details in place leaves more room to relax after arrival.

04 / MAKE ROOM FOR NOTHING

Leave a morning to your own rhythm.

IHG lists an indoor heated pool and whirlpool. To make space for a swim or time beside the water, check opening hours, maintenance and children’s access rules before deciding how they fit your stay.

A one-night plan can stay light: explore part of the bay district on the first afternoon, enjoy a reserved dinner, then leave the next morning open before choosing your next stop. Adapt it to the company you keep. Let the spaces, the table and your time together become part of the journey.

MICHELIN KEY / 2026

One MICHELIN Key, with a welcome worth remembering.

InterContinental Kaohsiung holds One MICHELIN Key in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide. Set in the Asia New Bay Area, Taiwan’s first InterContinental hotel brings the brand’s international perspective on luxury hospitality into the setting of a harbour city.

In its official award announcement on September 21, the hotel describes hospitality through small, attentive gestures: a warm arrival, remembered preferences and needs considered with care. This perspective connects its Art Deco interiors, dining and facilities with the people who shape a stay.

The MICHELIN Key selection considers architecture and interior design, service quality and consistency, individual character, value and connection to the destination. The hotel dedicates the recognition to its guests and colleagues, and describes its continuing ambition to pair an international outlook with the warmth of Kaohsiung.
