Qingdao Yibao Hotel is one of the earliest art hotels in Qingdao. It is located in the former German Governor's Mansion in the old town of Shinan District, at the foot of Signal Hill. The hotel's garden is a rare German classical courtyard in China, with a nearly 30,000-square-meter century-old garden that surrounds the hotel like an "oxygen bar".
A must-visit hotel for internet celebrities, it is surrounded by popular attractions such as the University Road Wall, Signal Hill Park, the German Governor's Mansion Museum, the Seaside Bathing Beach, Zhongshan Park, Underwater World, and the Ocean Museum.
In 2019, Yibao Hotel incorporated the concept of "theatre" into its entire space design and operation philosophy, using a "space" to facilitate direct communication between people. The hotel houses a large collection of artworks, almost covering the entire history of art. Staying at Yibao Hotel is like living in an art gallery, or being in Hollywood or Broadway.
The hotel also houses a small black box theatre, which is an experimental venue for various art and cultural activities such as resident shows, theatrical performances, art exhibitions, cultural events, and performance workshops. It has launched popular and well-received original experimental plays and resident stand-up comedy shows in Qingdao, injecting new inspiration into the cultural life of the old town.
The hotel has created a wedding venue - an exclusive and private 800-square-meter lawn and a castle banquet hall. The lawn wedding area is 800 square meters and can host weddings, events, team-building activities, and meetings. The lawn wedding at Yibao Hotel, surrounded by trees, extends the natural and artistic atmosphere, making the wedding ceremony more relaxed and returning to nature and authenticity. The castle banquet wedding area is 300 square meters and can accommodate 10 to 20 tables. It can host weddings, events, banquets, and theatrical performances. The castle banquet hall, with many artworks displayed in it, is like an art gallery and is located in a century-old castle.Show More

Very interesting hotel. Hotel is kind of out the way of things. Nothing around it when the sun goes down. Fun walk in the morning to many charming cafes. An interesting experience.

Excellent hotel!! Staff is very very friendly, location is perfect to visit most of famous site in Qingdao center, and the “location” in “mountain” gives a very good feeling while staying in city center.
Only one minus is the noise at night. We could hear many noise coming from other bedroom or just the fridge in the room.

The location is very good. It is next to the German Governor's Building Museum of the Old Guest House. Below is University Road. It is a short walk to Signal Hill. It has its own parking lot, which is very convenient whether you drive or walk.

Located halfway up Xinhao Mountain, next to the Governor's Mansion, with a wide view, the old villa is simple and elegant. The church bells are often heard.
I have lived here many times, with various house types, and I always have new gains. This time, breakfast was added, flowers were collected on behalf of me, and exquisite vases were provided. The service was very considerate.

The best hotel I've ever stayed in, the service far exceeds that of a five-star hotel, and the room is really beautiful, I am awakened by the sun every day, the decoration style is really warm, I stayed for 6 nights in a row, traveling alone, the hotel staff took special care of me, thank you very much to all the hotel staff, it's really heartwarming, it's the best memory of Qingdao trip~~
