Conrad Xiamen opens in China

Conrad Hotels & Resorts has elevated its presence in China with the opening of Conrad Xiamen, a striking addition to the brand’s luxury portfolio and its sixth property in the country.

Strategically situated along the southwest shoreline of Xiamen Island, Conrad Xiamen commands panoramic vistas of the South China Sea, offering guests an immersive blend of contemporary elegance and world-class service. The hotel’s address within the iconic, sail-shaped Shimao Straits Tower places it at the heart of Siming’s dynamic Central Business District—a vibrant destination for shopping, business, and leisure pursuits.

Spanning from the 37th to the 54th floors of the 300-metre-tall Shimao Straits Tower, Conrad Xiamen is a visual marvel on the city’s skyline. Its design maximizes sweeping views over the UNESCO-listed Gulangyu Island. The property is conveniently located just 22 kilometres from Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, ensuring seamless transfers for international and domestic travelers. 

“Bringing the Conrad Hotels & Resorts experience to Xiamen is a proud milestone for our brand in Fujian,” remarked John Vanderslice, Global Head of Conrad Hotels & Resorts. “Conrad Xiamen showcases our commitment to intuitive service and sophisticated design, setting a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in this thriving coastal city.”

The hotel features 241 meticulously appointed guest rooms and suites, each framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that capture the city’s dramatic seascapes. Averaging 60 square metres, accommodations are outfitted with custom walk-in wardrobes, state-of-the-art entertainment systems, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, Nespresso coffee machines, invigorating rain showers, and 400-thread-count linens for peerless comfort. Guests seeking elevated exclusivity can reserve suites or executive rooms, granting them privileged access to the Executive Lounge perched on the 54th floor.  

Fitness and wellness are central to the Conrad experience. The 37th-floor Health Club operates around the clock, equipped with the latest cardio and strength-training machines, guided by certified personal trainers. The heated 25-metre indoor pool provides serene sea views, while the Jacuzzi and Conrad Spa offer bespoke treatments tailored to rejuvenate both body and mind. 

Dining at Conrad Xiamen is a curated journey. Five distinct restaurants and bars cater to every palate: Coast Bar & Grill highlights premium seafood; Lucheng specializes in refined Cantonese and Fujianese cuisine; Pier 38 presents an extensive buffet with interactive Asian and Western culinary stations; Plush transitions from an elegant High Tea lounge by day to a lively cocktail bar at night; and the Parisian-inspired French Kiss patisserie tempts with artisanal pastries and gourmet Western fare.

For events, Conrad Xiamen offers over 2,000 square metres of adaptable meeting and banquet space, equipped with advanced audiovisual capabilities. Eight versatile meeting rooms accommodate up to 210 guests, while the pillar-free 760-square-metre Grand Ballroom—connected to a 380-square-metre sea-facing foyer—serves as an exceptional backdrop for corporate functions, social gatherings, and unforgettable weddings.
