This was announced more than a decade ago as a Sheraton, I remember seeing articles at the time. There's a thread on the hotel at skyscrapercity, going back to 2006:
https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=406493
I'm amazed they finally built it, and that it looks exactly like the original renderings from all those years ago.

Yes, I’m surprised there wasn’t a lot of mention of this hotel except for one post in the new hotel or upcoming openings thread.
I’ve been eyeing this for the last few months for an upcoming trip to Shanghai. I booked a rewards night the first day it opened up for reservations. Then they took rewards nights off a few days later. 70k points is no joke but given the price for a paid stay, it’s in line for decent redemption value. Eagerly awaiting this trip, still a few months away. Also waiting for interior pictures from travelers.

It looks frightful, I wouldn't go anywhere near it. Concept is dreadful and makes me shiver, somehow, somewhy. It would be a wonderful set piece for a disaster movie. Maybe something from the beginning of the film 2012.

I am staying there next month. Does anyone have any experience as a Spire Elite for what the benefits are? Hoping they extend club lounge access to me as a Spire even though I know that isn't always done

Which IC anywhere in the world gives complimentary Club access to Spire based on that status? I'm not aware of any so wouldn't expect it at this property either.
Only RA will get Club.

please post details of your stay, every bit of it. Room pics, restaurant pics, resort pics, everything! I can’t wait to see more of it. IHG website still only has renderings for the hotel, barely any real pics aside from a few room pics. Makes me wonder if everything is completed.

I added the hotel the IHG Hotel Master Thread List.
Is the location linked on google maps on the IHG homepage really right? The satelite map does not really match the pictures.
If I click on the linked address (https://www.ihg.com/intercontinental...he/hoteldetail), I got this location
But it would not be the first time, that the location does not match the real location and it might also be me being in Germany ...
