5-Star Hotels in Liaoning, China

An absolutely wonderful stay! I was pressed for time and didn't have a chance to do much research, but after seeing great reviews on RED (Xiaohongshu) and Doubao, I went ahead and booked it on short notice. To my surprise, the experience far exceeded my expectations: 1. Facilities & Location: Everything was fantastic—from the room decor and hotel location to the quality of the buffet. 2. Unexpected Perk: At 88 stories high, the hotel is the tallest building in Shenyang. Overlooking the entire city from the top floor was incredible; everything below looked like miniature toys. Such incredible value for money! 3. Service Experience: Since it was a last-minute booking, I called the front desk beforehand with a ton of questions about the location, proximity to the Mukden Palace and the Marshal Zhang's Mansion, as well as room types. The staff answered each question with great detail and patience, which saved me a lot of trip-planning time. I even made a point to ask for their names—their warm hospitality truly reflected the hotel's heart. Huge thumbs up! Kudos to the front desk team: HELEN, TILDA, and VERA.

I stayed with my elderly parents in the City View Suite at Dalian Hengli Hotel, and we were absolutely delighted! The room was incredibly spacious and well laid out, with a separate living room and bedroom, which was perfect for our family – everyone had their own space and privacy. The high-floor, floor-to-ceiling windows offered fantastic city views, and the city lights at dusk were simply beautiful. The room was spotlessly clean, the bedding was soft, and the bathroom had a separate shower and toilet, which was very convenient for the seniors. The staff were attentive and responsive to our needs. The hotel's location is excellent, making it easy to get around. It's truly ideal for families traveling with older relatives. Highly recommended!

The hotel's location is a bit off the beaten path, and transportation isn't very convenient. However, the surrounding environment is absolutely beautiful. The indoor hot spring has a strong water flow, and the water heats up quickly. Soaking in the outdoor hot spring under a sky full of stars is incredibly relaxing. Initially, we planned this trip during the off-peak season to see the maple leaves. Unfortunately, it was still a bit early, and the maple leaves at Guanmenshan and the surrounding areas were just starting to turn slightly red. But the hotel's own maple trees were surprisingly vibrant and breathtakingly beautiful. Honestly, there's no need to go anywhere else; staying at the hotel is the best choice. We traveled as a family of three, and they provided a complimentary breakfast, saving us the hassle of finding food. My only minor complaints are that the mattress was too soft, sinking significantly when sat on, and the breakfast selection wasn't extensive and was overpriced. Overall, I'm satisfied and would recommend it to friends.

Intercontinental Club Lounge privileges for 1-2 guests: Soft drinks available starting at 12:00 PM daily, with pastries and fruits served at 2:30 PM. The staff were very nice and accurately remembered which room each guest was from. Special shout-out to Haixue~ Travel photography experience (including 5 photos) [Choice of hotel interior / Zhongshan Square / Venice Water City]: We finally chose to shoot at Gangwan Bridge. The photographer was great at giving directions, and the owner was very easy to chat with, haha. Special praise for the hotel breakfast, which was probably the highlight of our stay. The rice with spoon worm (haichang) completely changed my preconceived notion from the very first bite—please be sure to try it, it's truly delicious. The hotel has a fantastic location, making it convenient to go anywhere, and it's a genuine ocean-view room.

The water activities, sauna, and accommodation experience were all superb! The overall environment was clean and tidy, and the water park had a great variety of attractions, making for a really enjoyable time in the water. The sauna area offered many different types, and I felt incredibly relaxed after a soak. The hotel room was spacious and comfortable, the bedding was soft, and I had a great rest. It's a one-stop shop for eating, drinking, playing, and staying, saving you from back-and-forth travel. The service was also excellent, offering great value for money. It's suitable for friends and family alike, and I'll definitely be back next time.

The room was clean and spacious. The only downside was that the hotel assigned us a room right next to the elevator, which was incredibly noisy. I hope the hotel can avoid assigning rooms near elevators in the future. The service was good, and the front desk staff were very friendly. I'd probably stay here again next time.

Maybe i was highly expecting for a hotel lime others Hard Rock Hotel. But this one is just okay. My room is ocean view but its not a private beach for the hotel. Cant swim at the beach. But many activities that you can do on it. The breakfast was great. There are so many selections that i can eat for a Muslim. The room is clean with full amenities. Btw , at night i ordered Fish&Chips & also brownies with icecream.But it so bland. The fries not cooked well & the brownies is not hot & hard. Not recommended. They also have live band at night. The water pressure in the room also low.

The biggest pleasant surprise of this Dalian trip was staying at The Castle Hotel 🏰. The grand castle architecture looks magnificent from afar, but seeing it in person is even more breathtaking. The hotel features an overall European palatial style, filled with exquisite carvings and lighting details. Every corner inside the castle is perfect for taking photos. The guest rooms are impeccably clean and spacious. The mattresses and pillows offer great comfort, allowing you to relax the moment you lie down after an exhausting day. The ocean view is simply unbeatable—you can gaze at the azure sea by day and the illuminated cross-sea bridge by night, a truly therapeutic scenery. The staff provides meticulous and attentive service, showing great patience from check-in to answering inquiries, and even patiently explaining how to use the room key earlier. The hotel boasts complete facilities, a quiet environment, and is not far from Xinghai Square. It's not just a place to stay; it's an attraction in its own right. The overall stay experience gets a full score, and I highly recommend it to anyone planning a vacation in Dalian! Thank you to all the staff members, and a special thanks to Bozai for helping us with our luggage and taking such good care of us~

I must give Swissôtel Shenyang a 5-star rating! During my stay, the hotel thoughtfully upgraded me to a high-floor view room, which was a delightful surprise. Located on Youth Avenue, the hotel offers great convenience with dining, shopping, and entertainment options all within easy reach. The room is bright and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of Youth Park and the TV Tower. The entire room was spotless, the bedding was exceptionally comfortable, and both a bathtub and a separate shower are provided. From check-in to check-out, every staff member was warm and courteous, delivering meticulous service. The breakfast spread was generous, and the fitness center and constant-temperature indoor pool were well-maintained. The entire stay was relaxing and pleasant. If you're coming to Shenyang, you can't go wrong choosing this hotel!

A couple with their four-year-old stayed for three days. It was an amazing experience!!! Highly recommended!! We originally booked a one-bedroom apartment, but the hotel upgraded us to a two-bedroom, two-story apartment with two living rooms, which was incredibly spacious and well-equipped: it had three bathrooms, a bathtub, a kitchen, a refrigerator, a dining area, a living room, and a study. Our child absolutely loved it, running up and down the stairs. The hotel's playground, sauna, and swimming pool were also enjoyed by our child. He even cried when it was time to leave! We will definitely stay here again next time!!! Thumbs up 👍
