Xiamen | Hotel Recommendation: Crowne Plaza Xiamen Jimei Seaview

Xiamen is truly a place I visit several times a year. This time, I checked in to the Crowne Plaza Xiamen Jimei Seaview, located on the banks of Xinglin Bay. I discovered that the areas outside Xiamen Island are also a treasure trove for travel. - 🌟Reasons to Recommend 1️⃣The hotel faces the lake and the sea, nestled on the shore of Xinglin Bay. Through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows of the guest rooms, you can directly face the azure sea. When the weather is good, you can see the sunrise and sunset over the sea, creating a perfect holiday atmosphere. 2️⃣The hotel offers comprehensive amenities, including 4 restaurants and lounges, a high-standard fitness center, and a dedicated children's play area. 3️⃣Opened in 2021, it's a very new hotel. Moreover, it's the first store after Crowne Plaza's innovative revamp, making it well worth checking in. 🏨Room Introduction: The hotel has a total of 303 guest rooms, where you can watch the sunrise and sunset. Different from previous Crowne Plaza hotels, the room design is more stylish and comfortable. With floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the sea as soon as you draw the curtains. The bathroom is also equipped with an oversized bathtub, perfect for soaking and relaxing after a tiring day. - 🍴Dining Experience 1️⃣Yue Mei All-Day Dining Restaurant: Located on the first floor of the hotel, this all-day dining restaurant is where breakfast and buffet are served. The breakfast is very rich, and I highly recommend the hotel's special Misua, Satay Noodles, and Ngo Hiang, all traditional Minnan delicacies of Xiamen. 2️⃣Chao Feng Xuan Chinese Restaurant: Featuring Cantonese and local Minnan cuisine, you can order delicate Cantonese dim sum à la carte or book a multi-course meal for a group. The quality of the restaurant's dishes is excellent, with great ingredients, flavors, and presentation. There's a main dining hall with a fantastic view and several private rooms, making it suitable for banquets and small gatherings. 3️⃣Executive Lounge: Located on the 22nd floor of the hotel, the lounge offers stunning views overlooking Xinglin Bay. I highly recommend enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea here while waiting for the sunset. The Happy Hour offers a wide variety of food and drinks. - 📷Around the Hotel: I always recommend that tourists visiting Xiamen set aside a day for Jimei. In Jimei, you can visit Jimei School Village, with its unique "Geng" style architecture. Next to it is Dashe Village, hidden away with many artistic shops. This is a great route for a city walk, perfect for spending an afternoon exploring. - 📒Travel Tips: The hotel is very close to Xiamen North Railway Station, Xiamen Railway Station, and Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, about half an hour's drive. From here, it only takes 1 hour to reach Zhangzhou Ancient City or Quanzhou Ancient City, making it very convenient.
