In Xiamen! A mountain view room where you can stay for a whole day!!
The colors of Xiamen in my impression are the mountains, the sea waves, and the warm sun all year round. I have stayed in Haicang, Zhongshan Road, and the Westin opposite Xianyue Mountain before. This time, I finally had the opportunity to stay inside Xianyue Mountain and experience the 'seclusion' feeling in the urban area of the island.
The 157th hotel stay experience, at Le Méridien Xiamen.
One of the biggest advantages of staying on the island is that taking a taxi from the airport is very cheap. It cost less than 30 yuan from Gaoqi to Le Méridien after using a coupon. Both the time and the price were much better than when I stayed in Haicang before.
I arrived at check-in time when it was already getting dark. The handsome guy at the front desk was super enthusiastic and even helped upgrade me to a deluxe suite. He was efficient and very patient in introducing the restaurant, lounge, and fitness facilities' opening hours, and he escorted me to the elevator. I remembered his name, Jimmy Liu, very grateful.
The room is on the 6th floor, the same floor as the lounge, making it extremely convenient to go to the lounge.
With an area of over 70 square meters, opening the door reveals the mountain view of Xianyue Mountain outside the window. Although there are occasional bird sounds and no floral fragrance, the momentary tranquility of the mountain is very comfortable, especially on rainy nights, opening a gap to listen to the rain, chill ~
I saw some people complaining about the decoration of Le Méridien in the forum before, but I think it's pretty good. The black and white main color scheme is consistent with the French style of Le Méridien, with occasional lively red and orange accents. I personally think it's okay, and although the amenities have been changed to larger sizes, they are still Marlin Dog, and the quality has not decreased.
The lounge has a loft layout with two floors. During peak times, the first floor is full of people. The hot food is quite rich, and there are some special dishes, such as spicy cabbage fried rice cakes (are there many Koreans, haha). The lounge ladies are very enthusiastic, guiding and clearing plates promptly.
The breakfast restaurant on the first floor, when I went there, it was already past 9 o'clock and close to 10 o'clock, almost closing. I wanted to eat a pancake but it was already gone. I told the restaurant front desk, and later thought they forgot because there were many people, but unexpectedly, they found me after a while and brought it over. Hmm, no matter where, people
The public space of Le Méridien is very large and rich. If you like hiking, the hotel has hiking trails. And because the hotel is on the mountain, there is also a free shuttle bus to and from the hotel and the roadside at the foot of the mountain.
Overall, if you want convenient transportation and a bit of a vacation feel, Le Méridien Xiamen is a good choice. After all, the city's climate is good, and there are not too many vacation hotels with lounges.
