#summervacay I'm so glad to be back at the Andaz Xiamen! My last visit was during its opening right when the pandemic started, and I ended up staying for nearly a week for an industry conference. It was a unique experience then, being among the first guests, and the hotel left a strong impression. The hotel truly has a distinct and rich Nanyang (Southeast Asian) flair that's incredibly refined and beautiful. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, with its lush greenery and intricate patterns, I was reminded of that elegant, tropical-inspired design. Every detail, from the decor to the ambiance, feels thoughtfully curated, blending local heritage with modern luxury. It's fantastic to return and feel that same sense of charm and sophistication, experiencing it again now that things are fully open and buzzing. It still maintains that feeling of being a chic, exquisite escape. #AndazXiamen #Xiamen #XiamenHotels #DesignHotel #NanyangStyle

The Andaz Xiamen Hotel was designed by the studio founded by the late design master Jaya Ibrahim. The concept is to present the essence of the world cultural heritage Gulangyu Island in the central city of Xiamen through the interpretation of the old and the new, and the collision of the East and the West. One night's experience in a twin-bed room with a view, the hotel design and appearance are indeed worthy of the recommendation on social platforms. Rattan tables and chairs, retro colored bricks, Western-style corridor arches and tropical green plants, with a strong Nanyang style~ The hotel's transportation location is great, close to the shopping center Mixc Railway Station, Nanhu Park, Bailuzhou Park, etc. The G floor is the arrival floor, which belongs to the public space. On the right hand side of the entrance is the popular corridor arch. Through the corridor on the left hand side, you can go directly to the Mixc Gate 2. Going further in, the inner courtyard is an art installation inspired by "One Corner Plum". The L floor is check-in. The lobby, lounge, restaurant, and outdoor heated swimming pool are on this floor. The swimming pool is much smaller than expected. The furnishings in the room are quite simple, with many Nanyang elements such as woven background walls, wooden shutters, and retro vases. The space utilization rate is quite good. I especially like the design of the dressing table, which is opposite to the washbasin and separated on both sides. The bed is too soft, I like a slightly harder bed~ The view of the guest room is very ordinary, surrounded by many dense residential buildings, and further away is the construction site that is still under construction. [Information] 📍Detailed address: No. 101, Hubin East Road, Siming District, Xiamen 🚇 Transportation strategy: Metro Line 1 to "Hubin East Road Station 🌟 Highlights: The second Andaz brand in Greater China, the hotel uses modern techniques to interpret the Nanyang-style architecture that carries the local overseas Chinese culture # Mainland Travel # Hotel Recommendation # Andaz Hotel

My second stay at Andaz Xiamen, and still absolutely delighted 💗 This trip was half work, half leisure, and I didn't hesitate to choose Andaz Xiamen again—conveniently located right above the subway with excellent transport links 💗 In early summer, Xiamen has a bit of a temperature difference between day and night, but the daytime brings gentle breezes and bright sunshine, painting the scenery in vibrant colors 💗 As a luxury brand under Hyatt, Andaz has locations worldwide, but Xiamen's Andaz stands out as arguably the best in China. From its design aesthetic to meticulous attention to detail—even the decorative books in the lobby exude sophistication (like original English and German editions on ukiyo-e history). Combined with Xiamen's relatively affordable luxury hotel prices, I firmly believe this is a must-experience property 💗 The hotel is incredibly generous—guests staying two nights or longer enjoy complimentary replenishment of minibar drinks and snacks 💗 This meant I could sip on chilled sparkling water all day, and by the way, the hotel's own craft beer is surprisingly good 💗 Just 300–400 meters away is Wenzao, Xiamen's culinary hotspot. I tried the famous Mingyue Shrimp Noodles, but personal preference still leans toward satay noodles. With work commitments, I didn’t explore much, but guests with time should definitely venture out for local adventures 💗 The hotel’s breakfast, gym, and pool are flawless. The 24-hour gym and pool (open until 10 PM) made post-work swims a perfect unwind 💗 A bonus? Our prime location allowed us to effortlessly secure a table at MixC Mall’s wildly popular second-floor hotpot restaurant, Shan Huan Huan, without waiting 💗 (Not sponsored—it’s genuinely delicious, like the latest evolution of hotpot.) Loved staying here—will definitely return!

| A Gentle Encounter of Nanyang Nostalgia and Modern Comfort. Why Andaz? As a long-time Hilton loyalist, I was drawn to try Hyatt's Andaz this time due to a friend's recommendation and its Nanyang-inspired design. Despite being a first-time guest, I was pleasantly surprised by the meticulous experience. ▫️ Design: A Serene Expression of Nanyang Charm Wooden floors, retro patterned bathroom tiles, and French-style brass faucets—each detail whispers the elegance of bygone eras. The public areas, painted with lush greenery and natural light, create a laid-back Nanyang ambiance, like stepping into a tranquil private courtyard. ▫️ Room: A Balance of Comfort and Aesthetics Starting from 50㎡, the well-planned space includes a bathtub, walk-in closet, and vanity desk. Though lacking sea views, the Japanese-style window frames filter soft light, bathing the room in serene warmth. ▫️ Service: Thoughtful Without Overbearing From the warm welcome to the farewell, the service feels natural and effortless. The complimentary minibar is generously stocked yet unpretentious, with local snacks and drinks reflecting genuine care for guests. Stay Notes / Real Check-In ▪️ Breakfast: Available at the hotel (reportedly underwhelming), but we opted for nearby local eateries within walking distance. ▪️ Location: Highly convenient, adjacent to MixC Shopping Mall and just a short drive from Shapowei and Zhongshan Road. ▪️ Regret: Missed the hotel’s afternoon tea and happy hour—perhaps next time, lounging by the pool for a leisurely afternoon. 📍 Address: No. 101 Hubin East Road, Siming District, Xiamen 💰 Price: Starting from ~¥1,300/night (excluding breakfast) ▫️ Summary / Ending Andaz’s beauty lies not in ostentatious luxury but in its subtle, soothing gentleness. It’s like a quiet book, best enjoyed slowly.

Andaz Xiamen: A treasure trove by the sea 🌊 Great Location I just got back from Xiamen, and the hotel I stayed in was amazing! Andaz Xiamen is located at No. 3999 South Ring Road, Siming District, right by the sea and very close to Baicheng Beach. That day, I was dragging my luggage to the hotel, and I saw the sea all the way, and my mood instantly improved. The hotel is surrounded by green trees and many art installations, making it feel like walking into an art garden by the sea. Cool Lobby and Room Design As soon as I entered the lobby, I was struck by the sense of design. The lobby is very high, the decoration style is very modern, and there are many unique works of art. It feels like each one is telling a story. When I checked in, the staff was very enthusiastic and gave me a welcome drink made with fresh fruit, which was sour, sweet, and very thirst-quenching. The room was also great. I booked a sea view room, and when I opened the curtains, the entire sea was in front of me. The sound of the waves was very comfortable. The furniture in the room was carefully selected and very design-oriented. There were also many small gadgets, such as a Bluetooth speaker, which was convenient for me to play music. Excellent Restaurants and Food The hotel's restaurants really opened my eyes. The breakfast was very rich, with Chinese-style porridge and buns, as well as Western-style bread, fried eggs, and many seafood options. I ate very full every morning. I also especially liked the hotel's afternoon tea, which was in an outdoor garden. I felt very relaxed while drinking tea and watching the sea view. That day, I also went to eat the hotel's special dinner, which had many courses, each of which was very delicate, especially the seafood platter, which was very fresh and tasted great. Thoughtful Service I was really touched by the hotel's service. That night, I was a little tired and wanted to drink some hot tea. I called the front desk, and someone brought it to me in no time. Another time, I came back late from playing, and the hotel left a light on for me, which made me feel very warm. The staff was very enthusiastic and would greet me every time they saw me, making me feel like I was at home. Complete Leisure Facilities The hotel's leisure facilities are also great. I especially liked the hotel's swimming pool, which is right by the sea. The water is very clear, and the surrounding environment is very quiet. I also experienced the hotel's gym, which is fully equipped and has professional trainers. The hotel also has many activities to participate in, such as seaside yoga. I participated in it that morning and felt very relaxed.

🌟My Wonderful Trip to Andaz Xiamen 🏖️Great Location I was so smart to choose Andaz Xiamen for my trip to Xiamen! The hotel is located in Siming District, very close to the beach. You can walk to the soft sand and feel the sea breeze in just a few minutes. There are also many attractions nearby, such as Gulangyu Island and Nanputuo Temple, which are only a short taxi ride away, super convenient. In addition, the surrounding snack streets are also very lively. It is very pleasant to take a stroll and enjoy some snacks in the evening. 🛀Great Health and Recreation Facilities The hotel's health and recreation facilities were the most pleasant surprise of my trip. The gym is fully equipped with treadmills and strength training equipment, and the environment is very quiet. I work out there every morning and feel energized for the whole day. What I like most is the swimming pool. The water temperature is just right, and there are lounge chairs by the pool. After swimming, I lie on them and bask in the sun. It's so comfortable. There is also a sauna. After exercising, I go there for a steam, which relaxes my whole body. 🛌Great Stay Experience When I checked in, the ladies at the front desk were very welcoming. They helped me with the procedures and gave me a detailed introduction to the hotel's facilities. The room was very large, and the bed was very soft. I sank into it as soon as I lay down and slept soundly until dawn. The room's decor was also very stylish, with local art paintings hanging on the walls, which created a cultural atmosphere. In addition, there was a small refrigerator in the room with drinks and snacks, which were free. So thoughtful. 🌈Touching Little Details One little detail touched me deeply. When I arrived at the hotel, it was already dark. The ladies at the front desk saw that I was a little tired from dragging my luggage, so they offered to call a porter for me and gave me a cup of hot tea, which made me feel especially warm after my long journey. Another time, when I was having breakfast in the restaurant, the waiter saw that I liked pancakes, so they prepared an extra serving for me the next day. I felt that they were really attentive. Also, you must try the hotel's breakfast. There are many varieties, including Chinese, Western, and local snacks. I ate my fill every day. In addition, the hotel is conveniently located for transportation. You can easily reach various attractions by taxi or bus, so you don't have to worry about getting around.

I stayed at the Andaz Xiamen at the end of last year. Half a year later, Its personality still has a clear outline in the mind. Different from the Nanyang style of Andaz Shenzhen, This one in Xiamen is brighter and more transparent. Following different corridors, you will be led to different spaces. It feels like wandering in a utopia. Every corner is a delicate and exquisite little world. The lobby is a colorful garden oasis. There is a happy hour in the evening. There are red and white wine, desserts and salads. The product is very exquisite. We stayed in the Nanyang Premium Room. The layout of each room type seems to be similar. The main difference is the landscape. The style is Nanyang retro style with dark red as the base tone. A lot of wooden elements and woven elements. With complex marble tile patterns, Brings a strong Southeast Asian tropical style. I really like this semi-transparent sliding screen curtain. It adds a modern touch to the retro style. At the same time, it isolates the room from the outside world. Suddenly there was a sense of ethereal tranquility, like a castle in the air. There is a dressing room with a dressing table. Very exquisite. In addition to the standard Western pastries, There are many local delicacies in Xiamen. Like rice noodle soup, shacha noodles, peanut soup, etc. The taste and variety are similar to Waldorf. There is no significant difference. But the experience was still very good.

#Mainland Travel 📍Location The hotel is located in Hubin South of Xiamen’s old city, very close to the train station and the subway station. The hotel is owned by China Resources, so it is part of the same complex as MixC. I think the clever part is that walking out of the side door of the hotel is the outdoor space of MixC, giving people a feeling of winding paths leading to a secluded and open space. 🌅Landscape The entire hotel is surrounded by greenery and vegetation, appearing lush and verdant. But the hotel itself does not cover a large area and there is not much outdoor scenery. Compared with other Andaz hotels, Andaz Shanghai overlooks the Shikumen in Xintiandi, Andaz Shenzhen overlooks the Marina Bay, and rooms at Andaz Xiamen overlook densely packed old buildings. No matter how high you stay, there is no view to speak of. But from this point of view, it is indeed not pleasing. But it also has its advantages, that is, it is a very downtown place: opposite the hotel are the extremely popular "A Zhong Food Square" and "Sili Sha Cha Noodles", and there are many snack shops and dessert shops within sight. For someone like me who is used to staying in CBD hotels, I really like the down-to-earth atmosphere of Andaz Xiamen. 📝Design The whole hotel is dominated by the "Nanyang style", and the hotel's public areas and corridors are covered with large areas of flower tiles, corridors and arches. It can be seen that the designer wants to bring the residents the home experience of living in Southeast Asia in the old days. The room is also decorated in Nanyang style: herringbone floors, wooden shutter sliding doors, mosaic tiles, and rattan furniture. It is worth mentioning that the frosted wooden windows in the hotel rooms have been dissed by many people online, saying that they look low-end. However, I think the designer put a lot of thought into it, because this kind of wooden window happens to be a characteristic of Nanyang residences. 🍱Dining The breakfast is semi-buffet, offering Xiamen specialties such as beef noodles and shacha noodles, and the taste is quite satisfactory. Like other Andaz hotels, the hotel offers a 2-hour happy hour for all guests in the evening.

Andaz Xiamen | A great accommodation experience with a Southeast Asian flair It was my first time in Xiamen. I hesitated for a long time between Waldorf Astoria and Andaz, but was finally attracted by the Southeast Asian style pictures of Andaz and decided to stay there. After this experience, I am very satisfied with all aspects and will consider it next time I come to Xiamen! 💰Per capita consumption The hotel price is just over 1,000, which is very cost-effective among hotels of the same type. You can enjoy high-quality services and facilities at a relatively low price, which is really cost-effective. 💁‍♂️Service I can give 90 points for service. From the moment you step into the hotel, the enthusiastic doorman at the door takes the initiative to help you open the car door, to the thoughtful guidance of the front desk staff when you check in, to the meticulous care of the service staff in the restaurant, and the housekeeping uncle who keeps the room clean and tidy, every detail makes people feel comfortable. Moreover, the luggage will be delivered directly to the room, so you don’t have to worry about it at all. 📍Geographic location One of the main reasons for choosing Andaz is its excellent location. The hotel is next to the MixC, providing a one-stop solution for shopping and dining. There is Hermès in Vientiane City, as well as my favorite old gold shop. There are also many dining options, such as Min Henan, Yan Yu, etc. are nearby. Across the street are the popular old-fashioned food stalls A-Zhong Food Court and Sili Satay Noodles. It takes about half an hour to get to the airport, and the pier to Gulangyu Island is not far away, so travel is super convenient. 🏘️Room layout The room space is used very reasonably. Even the basic room type is not small and is spacious and comfortable to live in. The overall layout fully takes into account the guests' living needs, and the activity area and rest area are clearly divided, so people will not feel cramped. 🛌Supplies/Facilities The facilities in the room are very complete. The TV has free TV programs and movies, and even the complete series of Friends, so your leisure time will not be boring at all. Although there are some marks of suitcase wheels on the floor of the room, it does not affect the overall use. 🧹Sound insulation/sanitation The sound insulation effect is good, and you can enjoy a quiet rest environment in the room without being disturbed by the outside world. The sanitary conditions are also commendable. The room cleaning uncle cleaned very thoroughly, the room was spotless, the bedding was clean and soft, and there was no odor in the bathroom. 🍱Meals Breakfast is in the form of full buffet + semi-buffet. The French toast, waffles, Benedict eggs, croissants, etc. on the semi-homemade menu are all made with great care and taste amazing. The food variety in the buffet area is also very rich, which can meet the taste needs of different people. There is a free happy hour at the bar from 5:00 to 7:00 every afternoon, which all hotel guests can enjoy. The menu rotates every day, the quality of the products is very good, and the fruits include my favorite carambolas and guava. Although there is no freshly squeezed juice, only ordinary bottled drinks, I am still very satisfied overall. 💗Other tips 1. Pay attention to the hotel’s official channels or travel platforms in advance; you may come across promotions and get a better value for money. 2. There are many delicious foods around the hotel. You can explore more and experience the unique flavor of Xiamen. 3. Happy hour is a great time to relax and hang out with friends, don’t miss it.

In the folds of time, you will encounter the laziest old dreams of Southeast Asia. When the piano sounds float out from the red brick building covered with vines, and the salty and humid sea breeze carries the aroma of shacha sauce across your tongue, this city uses mountains and seas as ink to write romantic footnotes in the folds of time.  When the morning mist has not yet dissipated, push open the mottled wooden door of Gulangyu Island, and you will see the international architectural complex that has preserved a century of splendor; the sound of the tide can be heard on the Ring Island Road in the twilight, and the Baicheng Beach and the Twin Towers are interwoven into a flowing picture in the sunset.  Here you can find the mottled rainbow wall of Shapowei Art West District and the dreamy Tyndall Beams of the Botanical Garden Rainforest World.  The story of Xiamen is the hustle and bustle of the Old Street of Qilou, the morning bells and evening drums of Nanputuo Temple, and the artistic heartbeat that you encounter unexpectedly at every corner—— 💓💓💓💓 This city will always be waiting for you to continue your unfinished lines of poetry on the next ferry at Piano Pier. 📜【Must-visit cultural landmarks】 ❀ Gulangyu Piano Pier We arrived on the island at seven in the morning. When Sunlight Rock was still dark, the sea breeze carried the sound of piano and wandered among the red brick houses. Avoid the hustle and bustle of Longtou Road and head towards Bishan Cave to find "Chuncaotang". The creaking sound of the wooden stairs in the century-old house is the secret language of time. ❀ Shapowei Shelter In the art district where rusty fishing boats and glass curtain walls face each other, we recommend the "Renjian Department Store Vintage Store" and the "Sunflower House" grocery store. In the evening, sit in front of the French window of "oneday jolly" and watch the sunset gild the old fishing port with gold foil. ❀ No. 32 Huaxin Road The Nanyang old villa complex hides the last slow time in Xiamen. I bought a bunch of lisianthus at the Riverside Flower Market, and turned the corner to see the white arch of "Not in Bookstore" (now converted into an art space). The bougainvillea on the iron window lattice blossomed into a flowing oil painting. 🏡【Accommodation Guide】 ▫ 🏨High-end aesthetics: "Andaz Xiamen Hotel" 📍No. 101, Hubin East Road, Siming District The collision of Nanyang style and modern design, the atrium swimming pool reflects the royal poinciana, and the sea cucumber jelly martini in the executive lounge is amazing. ▫ 🏨Mid-range sentiment: 「Shanhaiguan No. 2 Courtyard」📍No. 17 Zengshan, Zengcuo'an, Siming District The pure white house on the hillside has a 270° sea view terrace, perfect for waiting for an Orange Sea sunset. The housekeeper will hand-draw a cycling map of the Ring Island Road. ▫ 🏨Backpackers’ Choice: 「Koala International Youth Hostel」📍No.110, Zhongshan Road, Siming District There is a retro courtyard in the arcade, shirts of backpackers from all over the world are hanging on the clothesline on the rooftop, and there are ukulele jam sessions every Wednesday night. 🍜【Food Radar】 ☕ Old Town Fireworks: ▫ "Ajie Wuxiang" in the Eighth Market 📍 No. 111 Kaiyuan Road The freshly fried five-spice rolls are wrapped with the crispy water chestnuts, and paired with satay noodles from the "Yousheng Flavor Snacks" next door, it's only local when you eat them while squatting on a plastic stool. 🍰 Literary sweetness: ▫「BAMN Coffee」📍No. 105, Xi'an Road For the hand-brewed coffee in the Flower Brick Museum, we recommend the "Oil-Gan Americano". From the second-floor terrace, you can see egrets flying over the bamboo baskets in the flower market. 🦪 Late Night Diner: ▫ "Liangshan Food Stall" 📍No. 250 Kaiyuan Road This is an old-fashioned restaurant without a menu. The boss's sweet and sour pork and fried clams are full of wok flavor. Remember to bring your own tissues (the store does not provide them). 🚌【Traffic Tips】 ❶ BRT Line 1 is closer to the urban texture than the subway. From the First Pier to Jimei University Village, please sit on the right side of the "Spirited Away" sea train section on Haidi Road. ❷ We recommend riding Hellobike for shared bikes. Most areas on the island are protected by electronic fences. We recommend renting an electric bike for the island-circling route from Zengcuoan to Huangcuo (40 yuan/day). ❸ Purchase a round-trip ticket for Gulangyu Island in advance on the "Xiamen Ferry +" mini app for 35 yuan. Don’t believe the scalpers at the dock who say "there are no tickets". ❌💣【Lightning Avoidance Guide】 🌩 ⚠ The "Internet-famous coconut eggs" and "smoking ice cream" on Zengcuo'an's main street are tourist traps. The really delicious ones are the grandma's oyster omelette in the alley behind the church. ⚠ The only paid attraction recommended for Gulangyu's "International Architecture" is Shuzhuang Garden (30 yuan). The tour guide's "seeing Kinmen" is actually a telescope scam. ⚠ The "Seafood Food Stall on Huandao Road" enthusiastically recommended by the taxi driver may have kickbacks, so it is recommended to turn on the navigation to avoid detours. 📅 Three-day tour proposal: Day 1: Huaxin Road Flower Market → 32how Coffee Learning Course → Watching Sunset at Shapowei → Night Tour of Lujiang River Day 2: Explore the old villas on Gulangyu Island → Zhongshan Road arcade light show → Eight Markets midnight snack Day 3: Sunrise at Huangcuo Beach → Hiking at Shangli Reservoir → Jiageng Architecture at Jimei University Village This island, steeped in the fragrance of southern Fujian tea, is a good place to measure the temperature of each tile with canvas shoes. Remember to bring a collection of Neruda's poems with you, and wait in the shadow of the flamboyant tree for the Minnan folk songs you might come across unexpectedly around a corner. 🎶Creation is not easy.
