My cousin-in-law took us on a trip and we stayed at this hidden gem hotel – totally worth it!

Opened in 2024 as the fourth Autograph Collection property in China, the hotel features a retro black-and-gold decor with sea views + red-tile roofs and green trees outside. Floor-to-ceiling windows are located in the Laoshan residential area, just 600m from Metro Line 2. The courtyard-view rooms have great amenities, and breakfast is served à la carte. 📍Address 12 Hailong Road, Jinjialing Street, Qingdao, Shandong. Qingdao FLOA Autograph Collection Hotel 📝Tips - Try to request a higher-floor room for better views. - The terrace lounge chairs are super comfortable. - The bathroom has a bold design with curtains leaning toward an American industrial style. - The room feels approx. 65m², with the remaining 35m² dedicated to a spacious outdoor terrace. - Since the hotel is a few blocks from the sea, rooms offer distant ocean views.
