Crowne Plaza Yantai Nanshan

This is an older hotel with a unique location on the south side of the city. It's the only 5-star hotel in the vicinity and is very close to Yantai University. Entering from the main road, you'll pass a giant sculpture and find the lobby bar to the right. The lobby bar has a rather old-fashioned decor and connects to the outdoor garden. On the other side of the garden is a third-party cafe that serves coffee during the day and alcohol at night. Next to the lobby bar is the hotel's buffet restaurant, which is large and has high ceilings. A grand staircase in the atrium leads to the 2nd floor, where the hotel's grand ballroom and conference rooms are located. There is also a third-party Japanese restaurant around the corner from the elevators. The 3rd floor is the hotel's fitness level, with well-maintained gym facilities and a standard-sized swimming pool. The Chinese restaurant on this floor has more private rooms than open seating. Further up, floors 5-45 are the hotel's guest room area, and the executive lounge is on the 40th floor, offering mainly sea views. On the 47th floor, there is a revolving buffet restaurant with panoramic sea and city views.
