Luxury Hotels in Dalian

"The two-bedroom suite was perfect for our family of three adults. The room itself was spacious, bright, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The service was incredibly thoughtful! The dining table, which also served as a desk, was very practical. Having a Siemens washer-dryer combo, microwave, and a full set of tableware made our stay incredibly convenient. With a supermarket just downstairs where we could easily pick up laundry detergent, doing laundry daily was a breeze. The hotel's amenities, including the swimming pool, billiards room, and gym, were excellent, and we particularly enjoyed the delicious Japanese cuisine at the restaurant. The subway station is conveniently located right outside to the right, and a ten-minute walk straight ahead takes you to the scenic Donggang Fountain by the sea. Our few days of vacation here were truly relaxing and enjoyable. Dalian is a truly wonderful city, and the Donggang area is particularly pleasant. We'll definitely choose this hotel again for our next visit. Thank you!"

"The family room was quite spacious and well-stocked with many children's amenities. Immediately after check-in, a supervisor asked to connect on WeChat, offering direct contact for any issues. They did promptly address many of our concerns later, which was excellent service. However, the room always had a peculiar, indefinable smell – I couldn't quite place if it was dampness or something else. It was barely tolerable. One significant disappointment was that I chose this hotel primarily because their website advertised a children's playground. However, it turned out to be an affiliated indoor play area next door, not an on-site facility, and it required an additional charge. Moreover, for a five-star hotel, it was quite unbelievable to discover previous guests' hair in the bathtub. To their credit, the hotel's attitude in addressing this was very good. The children's pool was another major letdown; the water was full of white floating debris, making it quite visibly dirty."

"Dalian wasn't originally part of our travel plans, but having visited 26 years ago, I wanted to see how the city had changed. While searching for five-star hotels in Dalian on Ctrip, I noticed the Four Seasons Hotel Dalian in Donggang. We typically book executive rooms for the complimentary light evening meal, which saves us the hassle of finding dinner elsewhere. We had never stayed at a Four Seasons before, as this one only opened in 2024. Its location is excellent, being close to Donggang Music Fountain and Venice Water Town, with Metro Line 2's Exit A conveniently nearby. We hoped the hotel would offer a unique experience, and we arrived on August 4th at noon. The hotel lobby on the 41st floor boasts picturesque sea views. The front desk quickly arranged a sea-view executive room for us on the highest floor, overlooking the ocean – it was truly enjoyable. The breakfast was exceptional; compared to the Ritz-Carlton in Harbin and the Conrad in Shenyang, the Dalian Four Seasons' breakfast was definitely the best. However, the light evening meal at the Executive Lounge on August 4th and 5th was served semi-buffet style, and the food selection was rather average. We weren't particularly fond of this format. We communicated our honest feedback to Manager Wang Tianxin, who listened patiently. We mentioned that the light evening meals at the Ritz-Carlton Harbin and Conrad Shenyang were excellent, and stated that if the quality remained the same, we would consider checking out after a few days and moving to another hotel. Manager Wang Tianxin promptly informed us that the full buffet style would resume from the 6th onwards. Her professionalism left a lasting impression on us! From August 6th, we thoroughly enjoyed the buffet-style light evening meal. While it was a 'light meal,' the selection was diverse, and every dish was exquisitely prepared. Assistant Manager Guo Yuxian proactively asked if we had any requests, and the attentive and meticulous service from all the staff made us feel right at home. Special shout-outs to Xiao Du, the young Mongolian gentleman, and Xiao Yue, the lovely lady, whose service was absolutely outstanding! The head chef meticulously prepared a special dish each day, which we greatly appreciated. Among the three hotels we’ve stayed at this summer, the Four Seasons had the best temperature control. The impeccable service at the Four Seasons perfectly capped off our summer getaway. Our heartfelt thanks to all the staff at the Four Seasons Hotel. Next time we visit Dalian, we will only stay at the Four Seasons."

"An absolutely perfect stay. The InterContinental Dalian boasts luxurious, elegant, and grand facilities. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and inviting, offering breathtaking views of the East Port shipyard and the ocean. Its prime downtown location provides incredibly convenient access to subway and bus lines, and taxi rides around the city are also very affordable. It's just a short walk to the historic century-old buildings around Zhongshan Square. Check-in was a breeze, and the service was attentive and incredibly warm. A special thank you to DANA at the front desk for her excellent service. I also appreciate the doormen who always helped me with my bags from the taxi. Finally, kudos to the F&B department for the thoughtful gesture of delivering red date and pear soup to my room in the evening, which was a perfect way to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring. Dalian truly is a fantastic city!"

"## Wonderful Family Stay at The Castle Dalian We stayed as a family for four nights at The Castle Dalian and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Our spacious and beautifully decorated room on the 12th floor offered stunning views of the sea, making our stay truly memorable. The hotel’s entrance lobby is impressively large and elegantly designed, creating a welcoming atmosphere right from the start. For families with children, there is a large play area available, which requires an additional fee. Fortunately, hotel guests receive a discounted rate. Outside, the hotel boasts a charming small park with fantastic views over the bay and lovely landscaping—perfect for a relaxing stroll. The hotel is situated on a small hill, so the walk back to the city center is a bit long. However, the free shuttle bus service is very convenient, providing easy transport down to the city and back. Our room was thoughtfully furnished and very spacious, including a large and well-equipped bathroom. One minor downside was that there was only one power outlet next to the bed (on one side only), and no USB ports for charging phones, which would have been a nice addition. Breakfast and other meals at the hotel were delicious, with a rich selection of both Chinese and Western dishes to choose from. The only area for improvement would be the cleanliness of the restrooms in the breakfast restaurant, which unfortunately were often untidy and in need of more frequent attention. The swimming pool, maintained at 27°C, was not ideal for small children as there is no separate kids’ section. Guests should also note that wearing a swim cap is mandatory. The pool area includes a mini Finnish sauna and a steam sauna integrated into the changing rooms. However, there are only loungers next to the pool, so the sauna experience was quite different from the relaxing sauna visits we are used to in Europe. Overall, The Castle Dalian offers a lovely stay with beautiful views, excellent food, and family-friendly amenities, making it a great choice for travelers visiting the area."

"Bayshore hotel was an amazing stay we stayed in the family suite and it met our expectations. Everything was clean and spacious, the breakfast was okay, they did t have much of a western spread but it was up to standards just the food was always cold. The location was great it was really close to Xinghai park and xinghai square. The only issue we had was the elevator I know the concept of the twin elevator was innovative but during peak time you would wait a good 5 to 10 min for the elevator. However the stay was great and I would definitely consider staying at bayshore hotel again."

"**Facilities:** The facilities are comprehensive, and the room design is very well-thought-out. As someone who often works remotely, I truly appreciated having a comfortable desk. The walk-in closet is separate, and both the bathtub and all the toiletries were perfectly arranged and well-stocked. **Cleanliness:** Impeccable! There was absolutely nothing to fault regarding cleanliness. The bathtub, for example, was sparkling clean without a speck of dust, which made me feel completely at ease using it. I often get skin rashes quite quickly and severely when staying in some less-than-stellar hotels, so this place truly impressed me with its verified high hygiene standards. **Service:** What a bonus! There's a craft beer bar right downstairs. As a craft beer enthusiast, this was a massive win for me, especially since it was the renowned Paulaner bar I'd heard so much about. We returned quite late one evening and just made it in about an hour before closing. As it wasn't a public holiday, it wasn't crowded at all, but incredibly, the band still came out to perform just for our table! We absolutely adored that! A huge thank you to everyone for their incredible hospitality and kindness. (P.S. Remember to mention you're a hotel guest when you pay your bill – you can get a discount!)"

"We chose this hotel for its convenient location near the Shanmu and Zhenghuangqi dining areas. The lobby staff were very friendly; they proactively offered game tokens to our child when they saw him/her lingering near the claw machine, which made our child very happy. However, the cleanliness was truly disappointing. We arrived around 11 AM during peak season. Since our room wouldn't be ready until after 2 PM, we headed out to explore. That night, as I pulled back the duvet, something got on my hand. Upon closer inspection in the bathroom, it turned out to be a false eyelash. Further inspection of the bed revealed more remnants on the duvet cover. I called the front desk to request a duvet change, but was informed that due to full occupancy, they couldn't provide a spare duvet. It was only after I thoroughly explained the situation (pointing out multiple false eyelash remnants, not just one spot) that they agreed to change the duvet cover. The older male staff member who came to replace it was quite clumsy; the duvet cover was dragged on the floor multiple times, making for a rather poor experience. We stayed for two consecutive nights. On the second day, when the cleaning staff came, I noticed the room across the hall had just checked out and observed them emptying the trash bin directly into a large communal bin. Concerned about the hygiene, we subsequently declined daily room cleaning."

"The location is good, near Xinghai Square. The high-rise view can directly see Xinghai Square. It is about 1 km away on foot. There are many shops downstairs. It was our wedding anniversary that day. The hotel took the initiative to upgrade the room and arranged it for us. Thank you~ The room layout is reasonable, clean and hygienic, and the decoration is very new. It provides a dry and wet separated bathroom and a separate bathtub. The room is large, the bed is very comfortable, and the hygiene is also very clean. The only drawback is that the pillow is not comfortable enough, which affects the quality of sleep. There is a hair in the washbasin. I called the front desk to give feedback. The front desk service attitude is also very good and the response speed is fast. I asked whether to change the room. Because it was too late, I didn’t change it. After the communication, we were given breakfast, which was very good, but compared with Crown in other cities, there are not many varieties and it needs to be improved. The overall service is relatively full marks"

"The hotel was excellent, with a superb location and exceptionally good service. The front desk staff spoke softly, were thoughtful and warm, and even upgraded me to a room in a central position. From there, I could see the ocean to the right, Xinghai Square to the left, and Xinghai Bay Bridge directly ahead – an unbeatable sea view unfolded before my eyes! Whether in the lobby, the breakfast restaurant, or the guest room corridors, every staff member I encountered was smiling, polite, and thoughtfully asked if I needed any assistance. It truly felt like a home away from home. The bedding, bathrobes, slippers, bathroom fixtures, and smart toilet were all very satisfactory. I even received a complimentary fruit platter on the day of check-in. When I requested a buckwheat pillow, it was delivered immediately. The bathroom was spacious, well-designed, and convenient to use. Downstairs is Xinghai Square, the world's largest public square – you’d probably need an exoskeleton robot to walk around it all! Directly opposite Xinghai Square is the famous Castle Hotel. A left turn downstairs leads to ”Xiding,” Dalian’s best sea urchin dumpling restaurant. The sea urchin and abalone dumplings are definitely worth trying. On weekends, you need to go early to get a table. The only downside was the Philips TV in the room, which had a somewhat unclear picture. I suggest upgrading to a domestic brand, especially with current national subsidies available!"
