Chic places to stay in Xiamen

With its pastel hues and wide spaces, this newly opened boutique stay looks more like an art gallery than a hotel.

Located within a former industrial space, this chic hotel is within walking distance to restaurants and boutiques.

This 30-bedroom boutique property sits right by the honey-hued sands of Guanyin Mountain Beach. Drawing inspiration from Zen aesthetics, the interiors feature plenty of natural wood and earthy tones. The hotel’s elegant dining space serves a selection of Western and regional Weinan-style dishes.

Inspired by the natural beauty surrounding the property, the hotel’s architects created a space in harmony with the mountain and sea, using high-quality teak wood and local granite for that fresh, homespun feel. Other familiar comforts include a spa, a fitness centre and restaurants offering Chinese, Western and Japanese dishes.
