Luxury Hotels in Dalian

"Excellent! Compared to the Tangla Hotel Tianjin where I stayed last time, this 270-degree view room is infinitely better. The facilities are top-notch, and it comes with a complete set of kitchenware and tableware, so you can even cook! The room is spacious and bright, and very quiet inside. The location is convenient with all amenities nearby. The pool wasn't crowded, the massage chair was very comfortable, and there's even a billiards table to play on!"

"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 👍"

"Highly recommended! Very comfortable for family trips with children. The location is excellent, right next to Exit 4 through the back door. In the evenings, there's live music indoors and a band outdoors. You can enjoy the lively atmosphere from the balcony, and it's vibrant but not noisy. The in-room amenities are quite thoughtful. The tissue brand offers great value for money – soft and dust-free. The air freshener has a pleasant, non-irritating scent, showing careful consideration in procurement. Overall, there are no significant downsides, except for the foot pedal on the bathroom trash can, which is a bit stiff. Upgrading to a better model would be ideal, but it didn't really impact our stay. Additionally, the front desk staff, both men and women, were very diligent and responsible, especially Chow Pak Ho. Since we arrived early in the morning, he promptly arranged our check-in and upgraded our room as soon as a vacant one became available. We are very grateful. Our child had a wonderful time and gained a lot. We plan to come back next summer with friends and their family. We hope the standards are maintained and even improved upon!"

"The hotel's exterior is magnificent, like a castle. I booked a sea view room, and the ocean view from the window was beautiful. Even though it's by the sea, the room was surprisingly dry; my swimsuit dried completely within a day. I was a bit anxious after reading reviews about long queues for breakfast, but when I got there, I found that before 8 AM, there's usually no queue. Plus, staff members directly seat you and place a reserved sign, which is a nice touch. In some hotels, even if there's no queue when it's busy, not finding a seat and having to wander around with your plate is even more awkward. Now for the good parts, there are two downsides I hope the hotel can improve. First, the hotel's Chinese restaurant is really expensive, and there's a service charge, but the taste and service were truly underwhelming. I had originally planned to just eat at the hotel every day, but after one meal, I realized it didn't even meet expectations for taste or value for money – it failed on all three counts. Secondly, for a hotel at this price point, charging for a can of Coke and a bottle of juice in the mini-fridge seems unnecessary. Many five-star hotels even offer a full selection of expensive drinks for free, along with complimentary fruit and snacks, but here they charge extra, which comes across as a bit petty."

"Facilities: The hotel is a bit old, with a distinct vintage feel, but it's not run-down. Overall, it's pretty decent. However, for those who frequently stay in hotels, there might be a slight issue, as standard rooms don't have floor-to-ceiling windows. On the positive side, the bedding is quite new. Considering it opened in 2008, it's understandable. The executive lounge, though, offers an absolutely stunning view, overlooking the entire harbor. Hygiene: Most areas were very clean, and there were no odors or stains on the pillows, duvets, or mattresses. However, there was some white residue in the bathtub, which the hotel didn't clean thoroughly. Service: The service was very good, with quick response times. The check-in experience was also pleasant, with staff helping to carry luggage to the room, which was excellent! Environment: The environment is also good, and it's close to the subway station. Turn right out of the hotel, and you'll find Zhongshan Square, a nice spot to take friends or kids to see pigeons. Summary: If you don't mind its age, it's a good hotel. The hygiene is mostly fine, the facilities are functional, and the service is excellent. The breakfast is also quite distinctive, offering Dalian specialties like xiaolongbao, jianbing guozi, menzi, and sea cucumber rice. A few suggestions: the executive lounge's access control isn't very strict; they should have someone specifically guarding the entrance to prevent those without executive privileges from entering. Also, the curtains don't fully cover the windows, leaving gaps on both sides. And there should definitely be tissues on the bedside table, not just in the bathroom, as it's inconvenient. Side note: This hotel left a particularly deep impression on me because the room assigned to me upon check-in was a pleasant surprise. The hotel opened in 2008, and coincidentally, I was given room number 2008. It was a really great stay experience!"

"The Grand Hyatt Dalian boasts an excellent location, right next to Xinghai Square. The sea-view rooms offer expansive views, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Xinghai Bay and the cross-sea bridge. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the bedding is superb. The staff provides warm and attentive service. The breakfast offers a wide variety of options, and the Grand Club Lounge has a beautiful ambiance. Parking is convenient for those driving, making it an ideal choice for family trips and a top pick for a vacation in Dalian."

"The best hotel of our trip, absolutely loved it! The design is just incredible. **Location:** Since I was traveling with my 12-year-old, convenience to attractions was a key factor. I hadn't really researched it when booking, but after staying, I found it super convenient for getting to the nearby Forest Zoo (I'll write a separate guide for that later), Lotus Mountain, Haida Tunnel, Cross-sea Bridge, and Xinghai Square. **Environment:** Built on Lotus Mountain with unique architecture, so the views and scenery are unparalleled. **Facilities:** The room and amenities were all very complete. The only downside was that there was an event in the sky garden one night, so we couldn't enjoy the night view, but otherwise everything was great. **Pool:** I went for a swim every day. It was great for exercise and I could also use the steam room, which was very relaxing. **Gym:** Lots of equipment, but not many people actually working out – more guests were there for a holiday. **Shuttle service from the foot of the mountain:** Very convenient! Although the journey isn't far, it saved a lot of time and effort. There were always hotel guests waiting there. **Hotel photoshoot (3 retouched digital photos, requires 24-hour advance booking):** We did this on our last morning, and it was incredibly efficient! Started shooting at 9 AM, finished by 9:20 AM (we couldn't shoot outdoors due to the weather). We then waited 5-10 minutes to choose the photos. Every shot was beautiful, and I reluctantly paid extra for 10 more. **Breakfast:** Very extensive, and the specialty sea buns and 'dirty' buns were absolutely delicious! **To sum it up:** You get what you pay for!"

"I stayed at this hotel during my trip to Dalian, and it exceeded my expectations overall. I give it a big thumbs up! The location is unbeatable, right in the city center, making it convenient to get anywhere. The room was spacious and clean, and it was very quiet at night with the windows closed, ensuring a high quality of rest. The staff were all very courteous; the concierge helped with luggage, and any issues I reported were addressed quickly. The breakfast had a wide variety of options, including local specialties. The pool and gym facilities were excellent, and it was very comfortable to relax at the hotel after a day of activities. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would recommend it to anyone visiting Dalian."

"Four Seasons Hotel Dalian is, without exaggeration, the finest hotel experience I have ever had. The service was impeccable: they upgraded me to a suite for my birthday, secured reservations at two of Dalian’s most coveted restaurants—each with the city’s longest queues—brought me a Dyson heater when my room was too cold, sent ginger tea to my room upon learning I had a cold, and presented me with a keepsake as I departed. They truly lived by the Golden Rule that the founder of Four Seasons held dear: treat others as you would wish to be treated. It was an unforgettable experience. Whenever I have the chance to visit a city with a Four Seasons, I will make a point of staying there. Their sincerity won me over completely—I am now a devoted fan of Four Seasons.🍀非常感谢Carrie和Kakakoo！"

"Excellent review!!! First and foremost, as a family of three traveling, we'd like to express our sincere gratitude to Cao Yingxue, Cao Hongyan, and Wang Xuemei for their meticulous room cleaning. Since I had a sunburn on my back and was using a special cream, they even went the extra mile to lay down a separate sheet for me. They were incredibly thoughtful in tidying the room, knowing we were traveling with a child. Secondly, the breakfast spread was incredibly rich. Restaurant Manager Bao Lei provided attentive service, and Head Chef Li Decheng and Supervisor Hou Manager thoughtfully checked if the food met our preferences. Five-star rating! Excellent value for money."
