[2025 Qingdao Stay] Travel Guide for Renaissance Qingdao Hotel (Updated Jun)

The hotel is decorated in the new Renaissance style. As for the style, is it trendy, French, modern business travel, or artistic? Some also call it "Little W." Personally, compared to the older generation of five-star hotels, it feels like the difference between old money and new wealth. The materials used for decoration include panels, tiles, and composite flooring, with complete engineering bathroom facilities. The small design of beer bottle caps on the bathroom floor is very thoughtful, and the toothbrushes are made of bamboo, environmentally friendly. The suite size is standard with reasonable zoning. However, although the whole house is smart, the toilet is the most basic. Breakfast is decent, featuring pan-fried salmon, a variety of hot dishes, timely food supply, no noodles at the noodle station, and a limited selection of bread and cakes. The dining area is large with high ceilings, creating an open space that ensures a pleasant dining mood. The lounge is spacious, located on the highest 18th floor with great views. The food variety is average, but the soft drinks are very good. Within a few minutes' walk is Lanshow City Mall, with many dining options and basically all chain stores, making dining and shopping very convenient. Suitable for hotel stays, a quiet retreat during holidays. In the evening, the lobby bar features a male and female singer performing intermittently. The nightclub-style decoration, dim and rotating lights in the elevator, make you feel like you’ve returned to the past.

The Qingdao Jinmao Renaissance Hotel, which opened on September 30, 2024, is the first Renaissance brand in Shandong Province and gave me a huge surprise. Super convenient transportation: The hotel is located in a key node of the Huanwan City Image Belt in the core area of Qingdao High-tech Zone. It is about a 25-minute drive from Qingdao North Railway Station and only about 40 minutes from Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport, making it convenient for both business and leisure travelers. In addition, it is very close to the Jinmao Landscaped City, the core business district of the High-tech Zone, where you can shop to your heart's content, as well as the cultural and tourism destination, the Qingdao Eden Project and the Qingdao Citizen Fitness Center Stadium. It is also easy to get to famous attractions such as Badaguan, May Fourth Square and Laoshan Mountain. The lobby is full of atmosphere: The lobby, designed with the concept of "Adventurer of All Nations," is amazing! The backdrop wall, inspired by the coastal reefs, is combined with old train station elements full of retro colors. Walking into it is like traveling to a world full of history and adventure, with every detail telling the story of Qingdao's urban culture. The IP image A Wu introduced by the hotel is also super cute, bringing a new vitality to the entire space. The guest rooms are full of creativity: The hotel's 279 rooms and suites are really well-designed! Inspired by Qingdao's Laoshan Mountain, waves, movies, sailboats, exotic architecture and other unique "city imprints," the color scheme is bold and fashionable, perfectly blending tradition and modernity. For example, the wardrobe incorporates Qingdao's old house wall panels and beer brewing visual elements, the retro suitcase is transformed into a bedside table, and the floor is composed of mosaics, beer caps, telephone buttons, etc. Staying in it is like exploring a cultural treasure. The executive lounge is awesome: The executive lounge on the 18th floor is inspired by the old Qingdao Railway Station, with retro elements creating a modern and retro fashion atmosphere. Here, you can feel the traditional historical charm and enjoy the modern fashion sense, sipping a drink and admiring the city views outside the window. It's extremely pleasant. This stay at the Qingdao Jinmao Renaissance Hotel was truly an all-round enjoyment.

The decoration of the all-day dining restaurant of Qingdao Renaissance Hotel feels more beautiful than the lounge, and even has a bit of the Nanyang mansion style of Andaz, with double-height ceilings, unique chandeliers, and different functional areas. It looks better during the day than at night. The wall decoration changes from being dark at night under the reflection of natural light, and suddenly bursts out with a turquoise treasure box-like texture, which is a bit amazing. . The breakfast is in the same vein as the one next door at Yuansu, and the service is very good. The iced American coffee is crisp and refreshing, and the overall product is a step higher than Yuansu. . The signature dish is naturally Mr. Li’s California Beef Noodles, but the bowls used here are two or three sizes larger than those at Yuansu, and contain more ingredients such as beef and tendon, and there are also freshly made wontons than at Yuansu. . There are more varieties of hot dishes. The Qingdao specialty shrimp and cabbage are very satisfying. There are also a series of dishes I like, such as minced eggplant and meat, fried chicken with mushrooms, spicy fried pork belly, etc. Chinese cold dishes also include cold pig ears, spicy beef and celery shrimp, etc. It can be said that there are all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat. This is also where it surpasses Yuansu in all aspects. . In addition, the super-large fried dough sticks and "Wanli big buns" of "Wanli Toutiao" are also its signature dishes. There are many types of baking files, and they are all good. . The fruit and salad bars are of normal quality, and overall it's a filling and good breakfast.

Ran All-Day Restaurant is definitely the most luxuriously decorated restaurant in Qingdao! The best value for money restaurant!

It is easy to find by turning right after entering the door! Don't hesitate to eat here! Western food, seafood, Japanese food, desserts, etc. Just pick the expensive ones! The most recommended is aged steak, about 100g per portion. It’s really delicious! The steak is well-balanced with fat and the meat is tender! The outside is slightly charred, while the inside retains its tender red color. The taste is very rich! Thick-cut salmon, sweet shrimp, grilled salmon and other fresh sashimi are even more delicious!
