Sea View Hotels in Liaoning, China

Fantastic location, with the vibey Venice water town just across the road, the Russian walking street roughly 4 kilometers away, Bangchuidao within 6 kilometers, Xinghai Square and Xinghai Bay Bridge scenic area not far away, and several gourmet options within walking distance. The apartment was clean and spacious, divided into a kitchenette, a bathroom with wet and dry separation, a living area and a bedroom. It came with a standard refrigerator and washing machine, which were super convenient. A microwave would have been helpful. The view from the window was simply gorgeous. Special thanks to Maggie who was proactive and took care of my every little need. And she speaks English. I am definitely staying here the next time I visit Dalian.

The room was spacious, comfortable, and quite clean. Although it's not very close to the sea, being on a high floor meant the sea view was still decent, and beautiful on a clear day. The room was well-equipped, and the fridge worked great. However, there was no washing machine or laundry room. The water heater struggled a bit for long showers, especially with long hair, and the water pressure wasn't very stable – it was sometimes too strong. Service was good. The location turned out to be much better than expected; we found that most of the highly-rated restaurants we wanted to try were within walking distance, which was very convenient.

An absolutely perfect stay. The InterContinental Dalian boasts luxurious, elegant, and grand facilities. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and inviting, offering breathtaking views of the East Port shipyard and the ocean. Its prime downtown location provides incredibly convenient access to subway and bus lines, and taxi rides around the city are also very affordable. It's just a short walk to the historic century-old buildings around Zhongshan Square. Check-in was a breeze, and the service was attentive and incredibly warm. A special thank you to DANA at the front desk for her excellent service. I also appreciate the doormen who always helped me with my bags from the taxi. Finally, kudos to the F&B department for the thoughtful gesture of delivering red date and pear soup to my room in the evening, which was a perfect way to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring. Dalian truly is a fantastic city!

After this trip, I will never forget this hotel🏨, and I plan to come here again with friends when I have time. My husband chose the hotel and we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The hotel is very close to the seaside, just a minute or two walk away. The decoration inside the hotel makes people feel particularly comfortable, with reasonable layout and practical placement of items. It feels like the decoration design is very thoughtful. I heard that there were no vacancies when we booked a suite. The big bed we booked was also very good. This hotel was the most comfortable hotel to stay in during this trip. In addition, the breakfast here is also very rich, and the service staff are also very good. I will definitely come again next time. grateful

Unable to secure a twin room at the Four Seasons, and with our elderly family members specifically requiring separate beds, we instead booked Fraser Suites' largest three-bedroom apartment. We were assigned to the 21st floor (out of 25, a minor disappointment as it wasn't one of the top two floors). The apartment featured an L-shaped layout, which felt a bit unusual. The master bedroom had a king bed, while the other two bedrooms had a queen bed and two single beds, respectively. Without floor-to-ceiling windows, the visual impression of space felt a little constricted. The layout of the living and dining areas wasn't ideal and could benefit from an upgrade or rearrangement. The open-plan kitchen was tastefully designed, and both a washing machine and dryer were conveniently located next to the fridge. However, the range hood's ventilation wasn't very effective. The use of Villeroy & Boch and Hansgrohe for bathroom fixtures suggests a relatively high investment in the property's hardware. We had requested mouthwash and a variety of pillows during booking, and thankfully, these requests were eventually met, partly due to the booking platform's coordination. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, offering a perfect balance of softness and support – a truly unexpected highlight. The swimming pool was the most satisfying feature. The water temperature was a bit on the cool side, and while its length was acceptable, it was rather narrow. The depth, ranging from 0.9m to 1.5m, was fine, though I did graze my toe on the pool floor in the shallowest section. The changing rooms were excellent, complete with hot and cold plunge pools and both wet and dry saunas. Plus, they had Dyson hairdryers, which were far superior to the ones in the apartment. **Points for improvement:** 1. The toothpaste provided was Meijianjing, which seemed out of place for a hotel of this caliber. 2. After checking in, we discovered there was only one hairdryer for three bedrooms. Furthermore, it was one of those models that require you to continuously hold down the handle to operate – a type I'd never encountered before. After calling room service, they simply provided another identical, awkward hairdryer. Why not the Dyson ones found in the gym changing rooms? 3. The toilet paper was incredibly thin and rather rough. For a property of this standard, one would expect at least Kleenex-quality tissue. 4. The living room television was too small and had poor picture quality; it definitely needs an upgrade. 5. There weren't enough waste bins, and their placement was inconvenient. 6. Out of the three bathrooms, only the master bathroom featured a non-standalone bathtub, which was awkwardly placed inside the shower cubicle, making it very inconvenient to use. What's more, there was a small, completely empty room right next to it with no facilities at all. 7. The wardrobe hangers were not suitable for delicate clothing, as there were no padded or silk hangers provided. Overall, while it offers excellent value for money, it doesn't quite qualify as a luxury hotel apartment, falling more into the category of an entry-level five-star property like a Shangri-La or Hilton.

Novotel will be my top choice next time I visit Dalian! Absolutely fantastic! This was the most comfortable hotel I stayed at during my Dalian trip. For the first two days, unfamiliar with the city, I booked a highly-rated hotel online based on its location. To my dismay, it didn't even have blackout curtains, and I was woken up by sunlight shining on my bed past 5 AM. I decisively switched to Novotel, which, coincidentally, is located in the same building. I regret that Novotel wasn't a recommended option when I made my initial booking online. **Location:** Situated in the heart of Zhongshan District, it's near Dalian Times Square (luxury shopping) and very close to Zhongshan Square and the charming Nanshan Street. Its excellent location makes it incredibly convenient to get anywhere. A taxi to Xinghai Square only costs around 10-20 RMB. There are plenty of dining, entertainment, and leisure options in the vicinity. **Ambiance:** The hotel boasts a 'light luxury' design, which feels very comfortable and inviting. It's impeccably clean, fresh, and hygienic, with a complimentary fruit platter provided daily. **Facilities:** The facilities are comprehensive and include everything you'd expect. There's both a laundry room and a well-equipped gym. The on-site restaurant also serves a delicious breakfast! **Service:** The service is exceptionally warm and friendly, truly making you feel at home. The staff are polite and greet you every time they see you. Even the cleaning staff proactively offer a greeting with a smile. The only minor drawback is that it shares elevators with several other hotels, and there's no key card required to access floors directly, which could be a slight security concern.

Such an amazing place. Near to metro station and venice city. Opposite the establishment are a lot of restaurants and street food plus our favourite icecream shop. We arrived really early and the got our room ready by 9:00 in the morning instead of thr normal check in time. Big room, amazing views plus free washing machine and fridge. They guve free drinking water whenever you ask and the wi-fi is fast. Very secure place and friendly reception. You get to scan their wechat account and anything you need is delivered once you ask before 4:00 evening. I must stay me and my friends had an amazing stay and we stored our luggage and went for a stroll in tiwn and everythying was ok.. i higly recommend this place for stays in Dalian

Facilities: A bit dated, with small cracks on the cabinet above the mini-fridge and some wall areas, as shown in the last two photos. Overall, it's nothing major and doesn't affect the stay; considering it's a hotel over ten years old, one shouldn't be too demanding. The hotel's facilities are generally complete, with standard luxury hotel amenities. The breakfast is decent; it offers more variety than some Westins but less than some Marriotts. However, the quality is good, especially the desserts which are delicious, and there's a wide selection of juices and milk. Some Marriott hotels even offer a full Cantonese dim sum spread, whereas here there are only a few hot dishes, making the variety seem limited, but the taste is excellent. The potatoes in the pork rib stew are very fragrant, and the boiled shrimp are quite large. All the fruits weren't sweet enough; the fruit quality could be improved. Hygiene: Clean and tidy. Environment: A landmark building in Dalian, nestled against the mountain and overlooking the sea – definitely worth a visit. It's even more stunning for photos at night. It's about a 10 to 15-minute walk downhill, and a bit far from the subway station, but it's away from the city's hustle and bustle, and getting a taxi is very convenient. There's a sky garden on the 5th floor, and the lobby is magnificent; any photo taken there looks great. Service: Thoughtful and attentive. Someone helps open car doors and handle luggage upon arrival. There's a dedicated butler service that tries its best to accommodate reasonable guest requests. The mini-bar requires extra payment, but a welcome fruit platter and dessert were provided, along with a large bottle of homemade beer. This hotel's beer isn't available online, but it's genuinely delicious.

The location is average, but as a new hotel in the same price range, its advantages are obvious. The bathroom shower is very comfortable; it's great to take a hot shower after returning from the beach. It also comes with charging cables and USB charging ports, smart control, and a large TV that can screen mirror. The room was exceptionally warm, definitely exceeding expectations, offering great value for money! The relative downside is that daily cleaning wasn't very thorough; sometimes mineral water wasn't replenished, and the bed was only made without a detailed cleaning. However, the front desk was always responsive to requests. Water and takeout could even be delivered to the room by a robot, so that was acceptable. Also, the vanity mirror was stuck to the wall and kept falling off. Finally, regarding the key card for electricity: it seems you must use the room key card here; a regular card won't work. In that case, I'd suggest the hotel proactively provides multiple room cards when multiple guests are checking in.

This was an excellent experience. The hotel's location is superb; you step right onto the beach as soon as you exit, making seaside strolls incredibly convenient. From the rooms to the restaurant and the service, everything deserves five stars. The room was exceptionally clean and tidy, with a large floor-to-ceiling window offering an endless view of the sea and a clear sight of the cross-sea bridge – truly a fantastic view. The breakfast at the restaurant was high quality; I tried several dishes, and they all tasted great, especially the beef noodles with their large, tender, and flavorful beef chunks. All the staff were very pleasant and friendly, resolving any issues promptly and efficiently, which made me feel comfortable and welcome. If I get the chance to visit Dalian again, I'll definitely stay at the Grand Hyatt again; it offers incredible value for money.
