Boutique Hotels in Dalian

I travel a lot for work and usually dislike being asked for five-star reviews at the front desk, but I truly recommend this place. It's a state-owned enterprise, and the front desk staff genuinely cares about guests, even recommending attractions. There's a lounge area on the second floor. The food tastes pretty good, especially breakfast, which is very high quality. Just a heads-up: don't order the dumplings; they don't taste good and tend to get mushy. Also, there are too many potatoes in the tomato and potato beef brisket.

This stay was absolutely perfect! I initially booked for one night just to try it out, but after that first night, I extended my stay for three more. The hotel's location is excellent, right in Dalian's city center with convenient transportation. It's about a 10-minute walk from the train station following the navigation, but it's not directly facing the station square, so the environment is quite pleasant. The hotel is surrounded by a vibrant commercial district and dining options, with many large shopping malls. Tianjin Street is just a few dozen meters away, and the Lantern Festival celebrations there were so lively during the Chinese New Year. Zhongshan Square is less than a 10-minute walk away. On my first night, I couldn't wait to see Zhongshan Square lit up at dusk – it was freezing in winter, so there weren't many people on the large square, but the light show was incredibly beautiful. Russian Street is also within walking distance. For Dongguan Street and Xi'an Street, they're not far from the hotel, and you can easily get there by taking an old tram. In short, it's convenient to get anywhere from here. Hotel service quality: The main reception is on the 16th floor. The front desk staff were warm, thoughtful, and very friendly. Check-in was quick, and they even upgraded my room – wonderful! I especially want to thank Mr. Wang Tao; he answered all my questions with great patience. It was quite a coincidence that he was the one who assisted me with both check-in and check-out. The hotel is bright and clean, very tasteful, and fully equipped with comfortable bedding and excellent hygiene. The dining options are diverse. I particularly recommend their free laundry service. This hotel is definitely worth recommending to friends visiting Dalian.

This luxury sea-view king room boasts an unbeatable location. From the window, I could gaze out at Donggang's sea and the Musical Fountain Plaza. Lying in bed, watching the sunrise paint the sky with early morning ferries passing by, the floor-to-ceiling window felt like a living painting! To the right, the yacht marina offered views of white yachts sailing into the distance and returning against a backdrop of blue skies and seas. The room itself was spacious and bright, and both the towels and bedding were impeccably clean. The hotel offers two breakfast options. The 38th-floor sea-view restaurant, while not having a huge variety, more than makes up for it with its stunning views. The noodles were good, the beef brisket was tender and flavorful, and the onsen egg was delicious. Alternatively, there's the breakfast restaurant on the first floor, shared with the adjacent Hilton, which is directly accessible from the lobby. This one has an incredibly extensive selection. Unlike the quiet elegance of the 38th-floor restaurant, this spot is bustling with life and offers an amazing array of choices, especially Chinese dim sum – lamb soup, jianbing guozi (savory crepes), tofu pudding, noodles… Western options are also plentiful, with croissants that were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and rich with buttery flavor, plus three espresso machines for fresh coffee. Beyond the excellent facilities, the front desk staff and the doormen were all incredibly friendly and helpful! 👍🏻
