Rate display for InterContinental Beijing Financial Street

The base rate for the May 31 is less than $100 using the flash sale rate. I have never seen this property going for such a low price.

Rate display for InterContinental Chengdu

The new InterContinental in Chengdu goes for around $100 as well using this sale. I need to visit this city again later this year or in early 2015 and visit the Panda sanctuary.

Rate Display for InterContinental Pudong

The InterContinental Pudong is the original of the four InterContinental hotels now in the city. It is an older property, but the service is good. The China 4-day sale rate is very competitive.

Conclusion

IHG seems to love these 4-day flash sale for their China properties. There has been some reports that the hotel room supply in many cities greatly exceeds the demand.

Also, there is the weekend offer for 40% off that is valid until the end of the year (access here) that is limited only for IHG Rewards Club members that have their account address in the mainland China.

The rates under this very limited time offer are very competitive and prices for InterContinental hotels low. If you happen to be in China during that two week window, it probably pays to check the rates offered under this offer.
