Awesome design and staycation of Xiamen
#timetotravel
Looks here! This hotel has awesome design at Xiamen, Created by world-renowned designer JID, which was founded by the celebrated late Indonesian designer Jaya Ibrahim. Andaz Xiamen has been inspired by the city’s sobriquet as a ‘Garden by the Sea.’ The hotel has been conceived as a modern mansion inspired by tropical Nanyang style.
Meanwhile, this property has very good location that just 5 mins to Xiamen Railway station.

Andaz Xiamen is located at the MixC Shopping Mall near the train station. With its simple yet elegant design comprising both Chinese and Western features, it's a fitting testament to the cultural history of Xiamen. The hotel provides easy access to several commercial districts and scenic spots.

Xiamen | Stay in a South Seas Overseas Chinese mansion on the island and have an old dream of the South Seas
Visiting the 'Garden on the Sea' Xiamen, how can you miss this beautiful Andaz Hotel? It is the last work of designer JAYA, with a very strong Xiamen characteristic imprint, and it is very worth checking in.
🏡Hotel Style
A uniquely defined aesthetic hotel, the interior design is relatively young and fashionable, you can see a variety of fashion elements and the fusion and collision with Xiamen's South Seas style. Especially the iconic color symmetry design, which is very photogenic. The hotel also has a very strong South Seas style, with floral tiles, Western-style corridors, brass hardware, rattan art arch shapes, as well as tropical design and retro furnishings.
🍴Hotel Restaurant
You must go to the Chinese restaurant, authentic Minnan specialty cuisine, the taste is very satisfying! In addition, the breakfast is also super great, with a semi-buffet form you can experience many Xiamen specialty dishes, such as peanut soup, satay noodles, etc., and their afternoon tea is also very good. In the evening, you can go to the lounge to enjoy happy hour, experiencing desserts, snacks, and beverages.
🛏Hotel Experience
I really love the rooms, filled with South Seas style hand-woven carpets, each room reflects the South Seas style and modern luxury comfort very well. The sense of space is also very good; and whether it is the guest rooms or the front desk, the service is super enthusiastic, with attention to details 💯
📌Hotel Location
The hotel is in a very good location, just a three-minute walk to the authentic Hubin East Road subway station, and there is a special passage directly to Wanda Plaza. It is also close to Xiamen Station and the airport, and nearby there is the Xiamen Botanical Garden, Xiamen Science and Technology Museum, Shapowei, etc., and you must go to check in at the Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster in Nanjing.

Budget travelers cried with joy, you must stay at this hotel when you come to Xiamen!
Service
First of all, in terms of service, I think it can be given around 90 points. From the doorman at the entrance, to the hotel front desk, restaurant service staff, and the room cleaning uncle, all are good. They always actively help to open the car door when getting on and off the car, and the luggage will be delivered directly to the room.
Location
Another important reason to choose Andaz is that it is really convenient for travel. Next to it is the Wanda Plaza, which is convenient for dining and shopping. Next to Wanda Plaza, there is Hermès, and surprisingly, there is also the Lao Pu gold shop that I've been fascinated with recently. Dining is also very convenient, with Min He Nan and Yan Yu both available. Across the street from the hotel, there is the very popular old brand food stall A Zhong Food Stall and Si Li Sha Cha Noodles. It's about half an hour to the airport, and not far from several piers to take a boat to Gulangyu.
Environment
I quite like the decoration style. The vases in the lobby area, the carpets, and the green plants outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The room space is well utilized, and the basic room type is not small. However, there are already some marks on the floor of the room from the wheels of suitcases. The free TV and movies in the TV are good, including the complete series of Friends.
Dining
During the stay, I experienced breakfast once, which is in the form of full self-service + semi-self-service. The semi-self-made menu allows you to order anything, and the French toast, waffles, Eggs Benedict, and croissants are all made with care and are quite good. The self-service area is also quite rich.
Every day from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, there is a happy hour at the bar free for all hotel guests, and I happened to rest at the hotel during that time for two days, so I experienced it. The menu changes daily, and the quality of the free offerings is good enough for casual dining. The fruits include my favorites, starfruit and guava. Unfortunately, there is no fresh juice, only ordinary bottled drinks.
Overall, the experience was good, and I would consider staying again when I come to Xiamen next time.

The Southeast Asian style hotel in Xiamen is so chill!
I've been to Xiamen many times
and I really like this artistic seaside city.
This is the first time I've brought the kids to play in Xiamen,
and I must say it's also a treasure city for family outings.
This time, we stayed in the Andaz with its Southeast Asian resort vibe.
The kids' room with its 'Octonauts' theme won over Bingtang Xueli's heart.
Catching up with the Xiamen rain and just soaking in the hotel was so chill.
Especially the various delicacies that captured all three of our hearts.
The breakfast is semi-buffet style,
with exquisite food choices and a wide variety.
Local specialties like Satay noodles, Mianxian Hu, and fried Wu Xiang rolls
are all available.
The kids' favorites are the waffles and various beautiful pastries.
The 101 Chinese Restaurant specializes in Minnan and Cantonese cuisine.
The signature 'Black Gold Roast Goose' with its crispy skin coated in squid ink
is a favorite among the kids, as is the Minnan specialty 'Fried Vinegar Pork Goose Liver'.
We also tried the chef's recommended new spring dishes,
like the Mustard Greens and Wuyi Mountain Bamboo Shoots, which are quite worth tasting.
The Sugar Talk Restaurant is right next to the hotel in the Wanda Plaza.
Sitting in the sunlit glass room for a brunch is really pleasant.
You must try the signature Grilled Eel Pineapple Pizza and Eggs Benedict.
If you're with a little one, you might try the Maple Pancakes.
The Fermented Tofu Cheese Cake and Red Velvet Cake are also signature desserts.
Recently, you can also taste the seasonal specialty dish, White Asparagus.
Don't miss the spring-limited 'Urban Oasis Afternoon Tea'.
It's so fairy-like, it's like it's made just for little fairies.
The Lemongrass Coconut Ice Americano in the set is a really unique taste.
My besties and I enjoyed our exclusive afternoon tea time here without rushing our schedule.
The most, most, most important thing is that this place is really too photogenic.
Floral tile floors, rattan furniture, ceramic ornaments, decorative paintings...
Everywhere you look is full of design and sophistication.
Just casually, my daughters and I took about a hundred photos.
It's hard not to love such a Southeast Asian mansion~

Egret Island Love, Nanyang Beauty - Xiamen Andaz
Xiamen Andaz, the second Andaz branch in China, is located in the core section of the old city of Egret Island. Thanks to the excellent geographical location of Gaoqi Airport, it is only a 10KM drive to the hotel.
The hotel is designed by Jaya Studio, a design giant from Indonesia. It is undoubtedly a perfect match with Xiamen, a city with a strong Nanyang style. It can be said that every frame of Xiamen Andaz is Nanyang.
At the drop-off point, there is no water, no scenery. The central water courtyard surrounded by phoenix trees leads guests to this hotel building designed as a Nanyang 'sea garden'.
Check-in experience:
Welcome gift: fruit + a box of biscuits
Minibar: free
Hairdryer: Dyson, full of high-end feel
Executive Lounge: free delivery, no hot food, mainly desserts.
Bathroom supplies: independent packaging, La Labo 50ml small bottle
Breakfast:
Breakfast is located in the 101 restaurant on the 3rd floor, it is a full buffet breakfast, with a wide selection.
Local specialties include satay noodles, five-spice rolls, noodle lines, peanut soup, thin pancakes, etc.
Western style includes various types of eggs, and you can also order Benedict eggs.
Chinese style includes soy milk fritters, stir-fried noodles and vegetables, raw porridge, etc.
Fitness equipment:
The hotel's gym and swimming pool are quite far apart, on different floors and locations. Given this design, the hotel is equipped with two changing rooms, which feels a bit wasteful.
The swimming pool is located on the other side of the 3rd floor lobby of the hotel, it is an outdoor swimming pool. There were only 1-2 people when I went, and there was also a lifeguard.
The gym is located on the 2nd floor of the hotel, on the same floor as the SPA.
Conclusion:
For tourists, Andaz has a superior geographical location, with a subway station next to it, and it is only a 10-minute walk from the train station.
The hotel also has a direct passage to the Wanda City next door. After a tour, it feels very much like the Financial Street Shopping Center in Beijing, especially the Ole supermarket, which is suitable for tasting and not suitable for wallets.
I am very pleased that the Andaz brand has successfully taken root in Xiamen. The hotel's C3 level is reasonable, and the cash price is about 1200 after tax, which is much more expensive than last year. For friends without Globalist membership, it feels more appropriate to book with Hyatt Prive / Virtuoso cash price.

Gorgeously Designed Hotel in Xiamen, China
We had a wonderful stay at the Andaz Xiamen recently to celebrate my Dad's birthday. The staff were so friendly and gentle and the special in-room decor put a smile on all our faces! Highly recommend this hotel for both young and old travellers!
Ambiance/Facilities - The hotel is new and carefully-designed, with lots of artistic elements reflecting the local culture and Nanyang style.
As with other Andaz properties there is a well-stocked minibar with complimentary drinks and snacks, and the coffee and tea bar at the hotel lobby serves up great coffee and cookies, all for free.
Highlights - We were wowed by the hotel breakfast - the spread was sumptuous and the food was scrumptious! There was an array of hot food, pastries, fresh juices, even honey dripping from a honeycomb! How cool is that?!
The location is also superb as it is joined to a shopping mall and subway station.
Rating - 5 Stars 🌟

Staying at this hotel feels like being in Singapore, with scenic views everywhere.
At the Andaz Xiamen hotel, the city's impression of a sea garden is integrated into a local overseas Chinese cultural villa in a refreshing way. The most outstanding feature should be the design of the public area. Unlike most luxury hotels that use warm colors as the main theme, the architectural style is heavily influenced by Nanyang style, with ivory white as the main color. Walking in the corridors of the public area, there is a truly immersive feeling of crossing, as if you have arrived in Singapore, and everywhere you look is a beautiful scenery.
Location: The hotel is located adjacent to Xiamen Station on the island, surrounded by other industries of China Resources.
Service: The front desk actively introduces the usage time of various facilities and guides guests to their rooms.
Facilities: The hotel's front desk and lobby bar are located on the 3rd floor. The open front desk and lobby bar area is relatively large, and all guests can enjoy free soft drinks all day and light snacks during the Happy Hour in the evening. The gym is on the 2nd floor, and the outdoor pool on the 3rd floor is also great for taking photos.
Room: The overall style is Southeast Asian, and all kinds of furnishings are very exquisite. The lighting in the guest room is good, but the only downside is that the bed is a bit hard, and the comfort of the bedding is moderate. The backup lelabo sandalwood scent is very pleasing. All non-alcoholic drinks and snacks in the MiniBar in the room are free and can be replenished.
Dining: This time I experienced the 101 restaurant with an open kitchen, giving people a clean and bright feeling. The taste of the 101 restaurant is good and not disappointing.
