Hotel Indigo Beidaihe

Hotel Indigo Beidaihe is an IHG boutique hotel in Beidaihe District, Qinhuangdao, on the Bohai Sea coast of Hebei Province, China. Beidaihe has been a seaside resort since the late nineteenth century, when foreign residents and later Chinese officials built summer villas along its shore, and the hotel's design draws on that history and on the character of the neighborhood, which is the defining idea of the Hotel Indigo brand. The property is a short walk from the beach, so guests can reach the sand, the promenade and the seafood restaurants of the resort without needing a car. The atmosphere is relaxed and design-led rather than formal, with locally inspired decor, art and color in the public areas and rooms, which sets it apart from the more conventional chain hotels elsewhere in Hebei. Accommodation is offered as Standard Rooms, Deluxe Rooms and Suites, with comfortable bedding, Wi-Fi and styling that reflects the seaside setting. Amenities include a restaurant, a fitness center, Wi-Fi and the locally inspired design that gives the hotel its identity. Dining is centered on the on-site restaurant, which serves breakfast and meals with Chinese and international dishes, and the surrounding district offers numerous seafood restaurants where fresh crab, shrimp and fish are specialties of the coast. Service is warm, informal and leisure-oriented, with staff able to advise on beach access, bird-watching, which is a notable draw in Beidaihe during spring and autumn migration, and day trips to Shanhaiguan and the Great Wall at its sea end. The hotel is most popular in July and August, when Beidaihe fills with domestic holidaymakers, so booking well in advance is important. Visitors in the shoulder seasons can enjoy quieter beaches and lower prices. IHG One Rewards members can earn points and use member benefits at the property.
