Conrad Xiamen

Conrad Xiamen is a five-star, Hilton-operated tower at 186 Yanwuxi Road in Siming District, on the south coast of Xiamen island in Fujian Province, China. The address places the hotel in the Shapowei and Xiamen University area, a quieter and more residential part of the island than the busy Zhongshan Road shopping district. Xiamen University's campus, the Nanputuo Temple area and the Yanwu seafront are the nearest landmarks, while Zhongshan Road and the ferry piers for Gulangyu island are a short taxi or DiDi ride across the south of the island. Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport lies to the north of the island and is reached by taxi or by metro with a transfer.

The hotel is built as a high-rise with sea views as a main selling point, and its character is that of a polished international business and leisure property rather than a heritage building. Room categories listed for the property include Deluxe Rooms and Suites, and higher floors facing the water are the ones usually favoured by guests who want the outlook toward the sea and the offshore islands. Rooms carry the standard facilities expected of the Conrad brand, including wifi, air conditioning and a concierge desk to help with transport, ferry tickets and restaurant bookings in Chinese.

Dining is handled by an on-site restaurant and a bar, and the hotel is a practical place for a full international-style breakfast before a day on Gulangyu or around the university district. Wellness facilities include an indoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and a spa, which suit travellers who want to rest after sightseeing or a long flight, and the indoor pool is useful during the humid summer and the occasional wet spell. Nightly rates quoted for the hotel run from roughly ¥1,400 to ¥2,600 (about $206-382), depending on room type and season, with peaks around Chinese national holidays.

Service is geared toward both corporate guests attending events in Xiamen and international tourists, with a concierge able to arrange airport transfers and local advice. Visitors who prefer a calmer base with sea air, easy access to the university district's cafes and a short ride to the old town often choose this hotel over the busier central districts. The hotel's own phone line is +86 592 258 6666 for direct enquiries.
