#December Travel Support Event The Westin Hotel where I stayed during my trip to Qingdao, China. The hotel location was good and the breakfast menu was varied. In particular, there were many types of juice and squeezed juices made directly in the restaurant, and there were many healthy meals. This is the Westin Hotel that I recommend when traveling to China. No. 8 Xianggang Middle Road, Shinan District, Qingdao, Shandong, China Postal Code: 266071

Hanbi Tower Located in Huangdao District, the location is relatively remote. This hotel has top-notch views, decoration, and design. 🌟 The operation, service, and dining are disappointing. The current situation is regrettable, but it can be visited during the off-season. . Shangri-La/Westin Two hotels separated by a street next to May Fourth Square, the new building of Shangri-La is well decorated, and the lounge✨ is very beautiful. The public area of the Westin is large enough, and the lounge overlooks May Fourth Square. However, the views👀 of these two hotels are severely obstructed, and the sea🌊 view is not very good. Personally, I think it is more suitable to stay in a basic room to enjoy the location/public area, and the lounge can be optional. . Sailing/Sea Sky/St. Regis The three high-rise hotels in Badaguan, one street away from the sea, 🌊 have unbeatable sea views. Sailing has the lowest price, the public area is relatively messy, and the rooms are similar to apartments, but the city and sea views are good. St. Regis is very luxurious, focusing on sea views, and has no lounge. Sea Sky Hotel is very comprehensive, with many restaurants🍴 and a reasonable layout of public areas. Personally, I think it is at the level of JW Marriott. These three are suitable for guests who like to lie in the hotel👀 and enjoy the scenery, and the higher the room type, the more comfortable it is. . MGM/Diaoyutai Two sides of the same high-rise hotel, two blocks away from Shilaoren Bathing Beach, with distant sea views🌊. MGM has a Western style, 🎣 Diaoyutai has a Chinese style, the former is suitable for families/relaxation, and the latter is more business-oriented. The public areas of the two hotels are shared. In terms of design, Diaoyutai is better, and in terms of price, MGM is lower. . Hyatt The best value for money hotel in Qingdao, downstairs is Shilaoren Bathing Beach, the public area decoration exceeds the standard, and the lounge is very sincere. You can enjoy the public area and direct access to the beach with a low room type, or enjoy the lounge's skyline view and lie down to see the sea view👀 with a high room type. . Autograph Collection Newly opened hotel, the public area is not fully decorated, the design is American industrial style and very eye-catching, and it is relatively far from the sea🌊. It is recommended to visit during the off-season + after the decoration is completed. . InterContinental It has the best view of the Olympic Sailing Center and light show💡 in Qingdao, but the hotel is old, the rooms are average, and the lounge is also mediocre. If you don't stay at this hotel, it is recommended to go to the rooftop bar for a drink🍺 before sunset, the view is the same. . Hilton The hotel closest to the beer🍺 festival venue, the castle exterior decoration is online, the rooms are not old, and it is often fully booked during the peak season. The outdoor swimming pool🏊🏻 is good, and the buffet🍲 is also great. .

Featured Recommendations: Marinated seafood, steamed seafood, foil-wrapped seafood, spicy swimming crab, clam-stuffed shrimp paste, oil-splashed fresh squid, braised abalone with potatoes, crayfish, and more dishes. Enjoy fresh food, enjoy seasonal food. Taste of mountains and sea, 'fresh' to be the first to get it.

🏨 Nestled in Qingdao's bustling CBD, the Westin Qingdao stands tall with its luxury and prime location. Despite the lobby's modest height on the 5th floor, the hotel's allure lies in its details. If you're seeking an elevated experience, aim for the higher floors, where panoramic views and an exclusive executive lounge await on the 54th floor. 🌆 🛏️ Rooms may not boast vast square footage, but they're equipped with the dreamy "Heavenly Bed" and a Herman Miller chair, ensuring a perfect blend of comfort and practicality.

The Westin Qingdao Hotel is managed by the Westin Hotels & Resorts under Marriott International, located in one of the tallest buildings in the central business district. The hotel lobby is on the 5th floor, not very high, giving a sense of oppression, losing the momentum of a luxury hotel, and the main functional areas are also concentrated here, such as the front desk, all-day dining, etc. Although the building has a total of 54 floors, most of the hotel rooms are on the lower floors, so the room views are all blocked. Even if it is a sea view room, you can only see a corner of the sea view, not a full sea view. A small number of rooms are located on the high floors of the building, and the executive lounge is also on the 54th floor, so the view is more open. If the budget is sufficient, it is recommended to book a super high floor room, which will give a different feeling. For upgrades, the hotel is very generous, upgrading to a single suite on the day, but the area is not too large, about 60 square meters, a standard one living room and one bedroom, without a guest bathroom, strictly speaking, it is not a standard suite. The bedding is the consistent "Heavenly Bed", the sleep quality is guaranteed, and the office chair is the famous Herman Miller, which is very friendly to office workers. The hotel's swimming pool and gym are quite standard, in line with the Westin's consistent standards, but there are not too many outstanding features. Personally, the hotel lounge and breakfast are quite rich, worth checking in, happy hour is enough to meet daily meal needs, but the end time is early, and guests are sent off at 8 o'clock in the evening.

The executive lounge dinner is rich, and I go to the gym or the swimming pool for a sauna in the evening. I have a full schedule for this week, and time flies. The hotel is very cost-effective, the room is relatively new, and the facilities are very good. The TOTO bathtub is a massage bathtub. I take a bath every day, which is so happy. The hotel's gym and swimming pool facilities are good, really suitable for urban leisure. The hotel's catering is serious, the dishes are also very rich, and the taste is also good.

Managed by the Westin Hotels & Resorts of Marriott International, the Westin Qingdao is one of the tallest buildings in the Central Business District with panoramic views of the city. The room is relatively large, especially the bathroom is large, wet and dry separation and reasonable space layout, it is very convenient to use, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the whole room make the lighting more transparent. The hotel is ideally located close to the city's main tourist attractions, within walking distance of business office buildings, waterfront boardwalks, shopping centres and unique restaurants.
