5-Star Hotels in Dalian

The overall stay exceeded our expectations! The environment was quiet and elegant, and the garden-style hot spring area was meticulously maintained. The hot spring water was natural and genuine, warm and soothing. After a soak, I felt completely relaxed, and all the fatigue from my journey vanished. The room was clean and spacious, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the private hot spring tub offered great privacy, which my child absolutely loved. The staff were warm, polite, and provided attentive and thoughtful service. The facilities were comprehensive. This place is perfect for both family trips and relaxing getaways. It offers great value for money, and I'll definitely choose it again for my next trip. Highly recommended!

I always stayed at this hotel for my business trips. This time, I brought my child and didn't hesitate to choose it again. It's a serviced apartment, and the room is huge. It comes with a washing machine and all the kitchen utensils you could need. The living room is super spacious, making it very convenient for working or doing homework, and my child loved it. Downstairs, there's also a billiard room, swimming pool, gym, and a kids' play area. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful; they're enthusiastic and patient and always resolve any issues promptly. Highly recommended – I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit.

The hotel's exterior is magnificent, like a castle. I booked a sea view room, and the ocean view from the window was beautiful. Even though it's by the sea, the room was surprisingly dry; my swimsuit dried completely within a day. I was a bit anxious after reading reviews about long queues for breakfast, but when I got there, I found that before 8 AM, there's usually no queue. Plus, staff members directly seat you and place a reserved sign, which is a nice touch. In some hotels, even if there's no queue when it's busy, not finding a seat and having to wander around with your plate is even more awkward. Now for the good parts, there are two downsides I hope the hotel can improve. First, the hotel's Chinese restaurant is really expensive, and there's a service charge, but the taste and service were truly underwhelming. I had originally planned to just eat at the hotel every day, but after one meal, I realized it didn't even meet expectations for taste or value for money – it failed on all three counts. Secondly, for a hotel at this price point, charging for a can of Coke and a bottle of juice in the mini-fridge seems unnecessary. Many five-star hotels even offer a full selection of expensive drinks for free, along with complimentary fruit and snacks, but here they charge extra, which comes across as a bit petty.

After many years, I revisited Dalian. I looked at several hotels, but few met my expectations until I found this one. It boasts an unbeatable sea view, and you can enjoy the sunset right from your room and living room. The lobby is on the 66th floor, and the six elevators handle the traffic quite well, not feeling too crowded except during breakfast hours. The staff were proactive in greeting guests, and the cleaning was thorough. There's a small play area on the lobby floor, which was enough to entertain the kids. As for the hot water supply issue that many have complained about, it's perfectly fine if you manage your usage reasonably. Venice Water Town, World Architecture, and Donggang Fifth Street are all within walking distance, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. Food delivery comes right up to your floor, which is super convenient. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and would stay here again if I have the chance.

The best hotel of our trip, absolutely loved it! The design is just incredible. **Location:** Since I was traveling with my 12-year-old, convenience to attractions was a key factor. I hadn't really researched it when booking, but after staying, I found it super convenient for getting to the nearby Forest Zoo (I'll write a separate guide for that later), Lotus Mountain, Haida Tunnel, Cross-sea Bridge, and Xinghai Square. **Environment:** Built on Lotus Mountain with unique architecture, so the views and scenery are unparalleled. **Facilities:** The room and amenities were all very complete. The only downside was that there was an event in the sky garden one night, so we couldn't enjoy the night view, but otherwise everything was great. **Pool:** I went for a swim every day. It was great for exercise and I could also use the steam room, which was very relaxing. **Gym:** Lots of equipment, but not many people actually working out – more guests were there for a holiday. **Shuttle service from the foot of the mountain:** Very convenient! Although the journey isn't far, it saved a lot of time and effort. There were always hotel guests waiting there. **Hotel photoshoot (3 retouched digital photos, requires 24-hour advance booking):** We did this on our last morning, and it was incredibly efficient! Started shooting at 9 AM, finished by 9:20 AM (we couldn't shoot outdoors due to the weather). We then waited 5-10 minutes to choose the photos. Every shot was beautiful, and I reluctantly paid extra for 10 more. **Breakfast:** Very extensive, and the specialty sea buns and 'dirty' buns were absolutely delicious! **To sum it up:** You get what you pay for!

The hotel has a very American vibe, and the lobby is quite rock 'n' roll. We upgraded our room with a surcharge, and the view was much better; the room itself was large and clean. On our last night, someone set off fireworks on the beach, and having a sea-view room made it instantly worthwhile! The hotel pool is great; the kids didn't want to get out. The hotel is also very close to the beach, and it's easy to order takeout. Really good!

This stay far exceeded my expectations, so I'm definitely giving it a full five-star rating. The hotel's location is excellent, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing, dining, and shopping. The lobby is elegant and clean, and the public areas are well-maintained. My room was meticulously cleaned, had no strange odors, and boasted great natural light and soundproofing. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the toiletries were complete and worked perfectly. I especially want to commend Bonnie at the front desk. She handled both check-in and check-out efficiently and smoothly, always with a smile, demonstrating peak professionalism. When I asked about nearby attractions, breakfast times, and various other questions, she answered each one patiently and thoroughly, even proactively offering helpful travel tips. Her perfect balance of attentiveness and professionalism really helped melt away the fatigue of travel. With both excellent facilities and warm, attentive service, this will be my top choice for future trips. I highly recommend it to all travelers!

Really good! It's super close to the venue, just a short walk away, which is incredibly convenient. The service was excellent, and I was very happy with the overall environment. I'll definitely book here again next time there's a concert.

Although the hotel is a bit old, it's still pretty good overall. The kids had a great time, and we could see Labor Park across the street. It's very close to Dalian Shopping Mall, just diagonally opposite the hotel, and the first floor of the mall is full of food options where you can buy souvenirs. You can also walk to Zhongshan Square.

This hotel is conveniently located above Dalian Shopping Center, so shopping and dining are right downstairs. Everything you need is there, and it's just a few to ten minutes' walk to the bus stop, subway station, and train station. It's an older hotel, but the front desk staff are excellent and very accommodating. The room size is decent, and the bedding is good. The windows seal well, and the air conditioning works great with minimal noise. However, the soundproofing between rooms isn't great; you can hear conversations from next door. The bathroom has an old-fashioned layout, requiring you to stand in the tub to shower, and the faucets are an older style, though the hot water comes out quickly. Overall, the hotel offers decent value for money.
