Waldorf Astoria Xiamen

Waldorf Astoria Xiamen is positioned in the city’s commercial center directly beside Lianhua Park. The address combines business convenience with more greenery and open space than guests might expect from a central high-rise hotel.

Rooms and suites look toward the park and city and pair contemporary furnishings with large marble bathrooms and double vanities. The overall atmosphere is restrained and residential rather than overtly theatrical.

Much of the leisure program is concentrated on the fifth floor, where landscaped gardens surround a 950-square-meter rooftop infinity pool, cabanas, putting greens and children’s facilities. The nature-inspired spa adds private terraces to its treatment rooms, while the gym includes sauna, steam and yoga spaces.

Hokklo is the culinary standout, serving contemporary Fujian cuisine and holding a Michelin star. Brasserie One, Peacock Alley, The Chef’s Table and whisky-focused 1387 broaden the dining options considerably.

Waldorf Astoria Xiamen is best for travelers who want a modern city hotel with unusually complete outdoor and wellness facilities. The park adjacency, large pool terrace and serious local dining give it more resort character than its commercial-district location suggests.
