5-Star Hotels in Liaoning, China

"This stay truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the concierge immediately came over to help with our luggage. Check-in at the front desk was super fast, and the staff were incredibly enthusiastic. They even thoughtfully gave us tips for exploring the area and upgraded us to a higher floor room for free! The room was spotlessly clean with no strange smells, and the bedding was fluffy and soft. All the bathroom facilities were brand new. The public areas were also consistently maintained by staff, making the whole place feel very pleasant to walk around. During our stay, any request to the front desk was met with a super quick response. There were absolutely no unpleasant surprises, and the value for money was outstanding. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit this area, and I've already recommended it to friends who are planning a trip here."

"We are very happy about our stay at Wanda Realm Hotel in Fushun. The service is exceptional. My daughter developed rushes right after arrival. The hotel manager Mr. Wei Huang drove us to see a specialized physician, which was very helpful and beyond the ordinary service scope. We couldn’t say enough about our appreciation. The hotel’s gym and swimming facilities are well maintained, as well as room size and amenities. Highly recommended this hotel. The room is spacious and the beds are very comfortable. Mr Huang also helped me find my sun glasses that was dropped during the move to another room."

"My overall stay at Shangri-La Hotel Dalian was excellent. I was very satisfied with the room I was assigned; it was spacious and bright, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The bedding was neatly arranged, making for a very comfortable stay and a great night's sleep. The hotel's location is also fantastic, making it easy to get anywhere by taxi, and Zhongshan Square is within walking distance for photos. Public transportation is very convenient as well. The hotel offers a well-equipped gym and swimming pool, along with a beautiful garden perfect for a stroll and pictures. All the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Delancy was particularly thoughtful, asking about my stay during check-out and giving me a small gift, which I loved. The check-out process was very quick, saving me a lot of time. I will definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit."

"Huge shoutout to Sunny at the front desk! They were incredibly professional and really knew their stuff. The check-in process was super smooth and efficient, and they meticulously double-checked every detail, showing great attention to accuracy. Sunny proactively gave helpful reminders about breakfast times and parking information, and their warm and appropriate demeanor made a big difference. They were always quick to respond to any questions or requests. This kind of excellent, professional service significantly enhanced our overall stay."

"The room was spacious, and the facilities and breakfast were excellent, truly reflecting a high-end hotel. We were upgraded to an executive room with a view of the Hun River. The location is also very convenient, with Metro Line 2 right downstairs providing direct access to the airport and North Station. However, there are some clear drawbacks. For the second most expensive hotel in Shenyang, the minibar was completely empty, and even the executive room didn't have a coffee capsule machine. The air conditioning required a call to engineering to be turned on individually. Breakfast offered many Northeastern specialties, but the 'Big White Pear' soda, which costs 4 yuan a bottle at convenience stores, was locked away during breakfast, and we were told it wasn't available."

"I was already looking forward to writing a review for this hotel before my trip even ended! It truly exceeded all my expectations! The front desk upgraded me, and I ended up with a huge room. Both the bathtub and the window view were absolutely superb, and I loved the small balcony in the room—it was great to get some fresh air without leaving. The Penhaligon's toiletries and the intangible cultural heritage exhibition in the lobby were also nice bonuses."

"I came to Dandong specifically for the BBQ, and it definitely lived up to the hype – it had a great, lively atmosphere. I chose the best hotel in Dandong for my stay, and it was conveniently located not far from the BBQ restaurants, just a minimum taxi fare away. The hotel's service, cleanliness, and facilities were all excellent. The absolute best part was not having to go downstairs to pick up food deliveries; the front desk arranged for a robot to bring them directly to my room – that was truly amazing!"

"This was my first time in Shenyang, and for an important anniversary, I chose the Conrad as our base for a three-day, two-night stay. Here’s an objective review based on my actual experience: **Location:** The hotel is very close to both Beizhan (North Station) and Shenyang Station, about a ten-minute taxi ride. If you take the subway, it’s just one transfer, and you can reach Exit A of Renmin Square Station on Line 2 (which is the entrance to MixC Hang Lung Plaza) in about 30 minutes. From the first floor of Hang Lung Plaza, there's a glass automatic door that connects directly to the hotel's first floor. Regarding Hang Lung Plaza, I won't comment on the shopping as I didn't explore it much. However, it’s very convenient to take the escalator down to the basement for a meal, grab some snacks at the supermarket/convenience store, play Taiko or Maimai at the arcade on the basement level, or sing karaoke at Mei KTV on the third floor accessible by a scenic elevator. This definitely adds to the convenience of staying at the Conrad. **Service:** * **Pre-Stay Service:** I didn't receive any pre-arrival calls or contact, which is usually standard for five-star hotels. It made me think, 'Hmm?' a little, but it wasn't a major issue. During check-in, the front desk informed me that our room was still being prepared but offered a complimentary upgrade to a smoking room so we wouldn't have to wait. I accepted the kind offer and was relieved that the smoke smell in the room wasn't very noticeable. * **During-Stay Service:** On the first night, I wanted to take a bath, but the bathtub took nearly two hours to fill, only reaching the depth shown in the photo. After half an hour, I thought it was just because the tub was large and filling slowly, but when it was still the same after more than an hour, I suspected the drain wasn't sealing properly. However, it was quite late, and I didn't want to bother the hotel staff with repairs at that hour, especially since we’d already received an upgrade. It felt like that 'don't ask for a bicycle when you've been given a watch' kind of awkwardness. So, the next morning, I called housekeeping to ask if someone could check it while we were out in the afternoon. When we returned the next evening, the first thing I did was fill the tub, and seeing the water successfully rise made me so happy! I could finally take a bath! I'm grateful to the staff for solving the problem on time. Later that night, we went to the executive lounge on the 83rd floor for the evening light meal. The food was excellent, and they were proactive in asking about our needs. Special thanks to Cloris, Luna, and Rachel for their warm service. **Facilities:** As mentioned above, the room was generally in good condition. There were a few areas that showed some wear or minor human-made stains, but nothing major. Honestly, you don't really use or even touch every single part of a suite; it's always just a few key areas. The bathtub issue might have been a 'historical problem' left by a previous guest, but at least I got it resolved. This does, however, suggest that there's room for improvement in terms of facility maintenance and even upgrades. **Dining:** The executive lounge's food has already been mentioned, so I won't repeat it. For breakfast, I went at 8 AM and 9 AM on the two different days. As expected, it was less crowded earlier. You swipe your room card, then an attendant guides you to an empty table and asks if you'd like coffee or tea. Overall, breakfast was quite good, offering most of the varieties you'd expect from a typical five-star hotel. **Final Thoughts:** One minor point of annoyance was the hotel's elevators. Many guests have mentioned the hassle of having to transfer elevators on the 88th floor to get from the hotel entrance to their room. Personally, I think the waiting time for the elevators is more frustrating than the transfer itself. From the 88th-floor lobby to the rooms on lower floors, there are four elevators. Without judging whether that's too many or too few, objectively speaking, every time I waited for an elevator from my room floor to the 88th floor, or from the 88th to my room, it always took over a minute. There was never a time when an elevator arrived within thirty or forty-five seconds of pressing the button. And often, when the elevator did arrive, it was empty. Perhaps it was because I stayed on a weekend and the hotel had an event? The above only represents my personal experience during this stay."

"Traveling with kids, an apartment-style hotel is incredibly convenient. We could store bread, fruit, and milk bought the day before in the fridge and easily heat them up in the microwave in the morning. While I wasn't entirely sure about the cleanliness of the washing machine, it was still handy for washing adult clothes and then sanitizing them with high heat. After a long day of walking, it was amazing to grab a bath bomb from Miniso downstairs and enjoy a relaxing soak. The hotel has direct access to the mall on the 4th floor, making dining and shopping super easy. The mall is right above the metro station (Convention & Exhibition Center Station) and also has a bus stop, so you can pretty much get to all the main attractions. It's not the newest place, but it was generally clean."

"Staying at The Castle Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Dalian, truly felt like stepping into a fairytale. Here's my honest review: **About the Butler Service:** Absolutely top-notch! Even before arrival, I received a call from my butler, who thoughtfully inquired about my arrival time and check-in preferences. From helping with luggage upon entry to the welcome fruit and detailed room orientation after checking in, every single detail was impeccable. When I tentatively asked for a late checkout, the butler immediately and generously extended it until 2 PM. This level of meticulous care truly made me feel pampered. **About the Hotel Scenery:** Perched on a hillside, the hotel's exterior resembles Germany's Neuschwanstein Castle, exuding a full European luxury vibe. The lobby boasts an 18-meter high domed ceiling, a crystal spiral staircase, and colorful domes – every snap looks like a movie scene. The most stunning feature is the 5th-floor sky garden, offering an unobstructed 270° panoramic view of Xinghai Bay and the cross-sea bridge – the vista is unbeatable. Staying in a high-floor sea view room, I could gaze at the Xinghai Bay Bridge right from my bed; both sunrise and sunset were absolutely breathtaking. **About the Unexpected Deer Encounter:** This was a truly delightful surprise! The hotel is built on the hillside of Lianhua Mountain, where sika deer often roam among the trees. While strolling along the winding mountain path, we encountered several of them, and my child was overjoyed. This experience of meeting wild deer within a city castle was simply magical. In conclusion, this stay was absolutely perfect. The service was thoughtful, the scenery was stunning, and we even got to encounter sika deer. I highly recommend it to everyone!"
