Beach Hotels in Shandong, China

Qingdao Haitian Hotel: Five-Star Quality Amidst Mountains and Sea, Grateful for Ginny's Heartwarming Company Choosing the Haitian Hotel for this trip to Qingdao was absolutely perfect! As a five-star landmark in the city's core area, the hotel leverages the advantages of its mountain, sea, and city views to the fullest. Opening the window reveals the azure sea, blue sky, green trees, and red tiles. Watching the sunrise in the morning and the afterglow in the evening – every moment is incredibly soothing. The room facilities are exquisite and thoughtful. The large bed is soft and comfortable, and the wet and dry separated bathroom is spacious and bright, showcasing quality in every detail. I must give a special shout-out to Ginny! From patiently explaining room types and local sightseeing tips during check-in to proactively assisting with requests, she was enthusiastic and professional throughout, providing caring and thoughtful service like a family member. Whether I inquired about conference facilities or local specialty foods, she answered meticulously and responded promptly, making the entire stay exceptionally comfortable. The hotel's location is also impeccable. It's within walking distance of the beach and commercial areas, making transportation super convenient. Whether for business travel or a leisure vacation, Haitian Hotel is the top choice in Qingdao. A special thanks to Ginny for her excellent service. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Qingdao!

This is an absolute gem among all the hotels I've stayed in over 15 years of traveling across 40 countries. The design of the rooms, corridors, and common areas is stunning and truly unique. There’s an arcade machine in the room with Nintendo games from my childhood… It feels like the hotel owner's personal signature style - and it's the most amazing highlight of this place! A special afternoon tea with fantastic cookies is a wonderful service. Breakfast is usually a buffet, as far as I understand, but on the day of my stay, there was no buffet, and breakfast was served individually for each guest. Still, it was very good and filling. The location is excellent - right next to the bus station. That means you can check in immediately after arriving from the airport by airport bus, or leave your luggage if you arrive early. Getting anywhere in the city is also easy, quick and cheap by local buses. The room was very comfortable: quiet and very warm (I stayed during the cold season), exceptionally clean, with a great bathroom, and everything was in perfect condition. The bed was very comfortable with amazingly soft pillows worthy of a high-end hotel - and they even provide several pillows with different levels of softness! The staff's attitude toward guests is excellent: I'm a light sleeper, and quietness is important to me, but in Asia this is often a problem even in expensive hotels. So when booking, I requested a quiet room on a high floor and away from the elevator - and my wishes were fulfilled perfectly. And for all of this, the price is simply incredible. This hotel is worth traveling to Yantai just to stay here! Overall, it's a masterpiece. The only places I've seen that are better are classic five-star hotels, but even they don't have such outstanding interior design and arcade machines. 😊 And if you were born in the 1980s, you absolutely have to stay at this hotel to play the games of your childhood on a real arcade machine right in your room. 😊

I stayed at this hotel apartment last year and chose to stay here again this year. The room was exceptionally comfortable. I booked a sea view suite, and the ocean scenery was absolutely stunning. It's conveniently located near the subway station, making getting around quick and easy! I had to go deep-sea fishing early the next morning, so staying by the sea in the city was also more convenient. I think I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Qingdao! 👍

Had a great stay at the hotel. The facilities were excellent, and having a shopping mall right next door was incredibly convenient. The atmosphere was cozy, and I got a very quiet night's rest. It was a huge plus that I could store my luggage after checking out. Annie at the front desk was fantastic – her service was top-notch, she was incredibly thorough and attentive, and so thoughtful, even giving us a discounted rate! The room was spotless as well. I ended up extending my stay for another night without hesitation! Highly recommend!

The location is in the Dongda area, eating is convenient and affordable, the breakfast is also rich, and the service is especially generous and proactive. During our two-night stay, the child got sand on the quilt, and after greeting the hotel staff, the bedding was changed immediately. We were very satisfied!

Room 999 was exactly as depicted. It's like an attic, with windows directly facing northeast and overlooking the beach. During the New Year's holiday, we experienced strong winds, sunny days, and misty weather, so the view from the window changed daily. As for amenities, there's a screen for watching movies and a bathtub for soaking. Everything else was great, except for a slight dripping sound from the window sill at night due to the large temperature difference between inside and out, and it can get quite noisy when it's windy. The underfloor heating was very strong, so if you're concerned about dryness, you'll need to bring your own humidifier.

The sea-view room offers an amazing view, and the room itself is spacious and clean. The minibar has unique drinks, and it's just a few minutes' walk to the beach. The beer-themed experience was fantastic! The bedding was comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. They even gave us beer vouchers and a sleep-aid kit. Absolutely brilliant!

Coming to Yantai, I saw this newly opened Indigo and decisively chose it. The scenery is beautiful, and the room is very spacious. Zoe from Guest Relations contacted us even before we arrived and had our room ready. During our stay, she would periodically check if we needed water, without being intrusive. The only minor drawback was that the water wasn't very hot when I showered on the last night. The hotel really needs to look into that – it was so cold these past two days, and all I wanted after coming back was a hot shower. The breakfast selection isn't huge, but the quality is consistently InterContinental standard, which is quite reliable. Overall, it was a good experience.

An incredibly high-value five-star hotel during the off-season! 🏨 Perfect for families with kids or a group of girlfriends. 🪟 The loft room's bathroom is on the second floor, with toilets on both levels. The hotel's spa area has hot tubs and showers, so even if there are many people, you don't have to wait for the single bathroom in your room. You can just go for a dip in the hot pools, enjoy the sauna, then shower there and come back to your soft, comfy bed! (Note: ♨️ the spa closes at 10 PM). ⛱️ The hotel grounds are huge! Right behind it is a long, beautiful coastline. You can play outside during the day, and in the evening, take a stroll on the beach 🌃 listening to the waves, and even spot some seabirds. 🥣 Breakfast is served facing the ocean, so you can watch the waves while you eat. The restaurant is on the first floor, facing the sea 🌊, so it might be a bit cooler. If you get cold easily, just wear a bit more 🧣. 🍠 The roasted sweet potatoes are delicious, and they even have Brie cheese 😋. There aren't any cakes or desserts for breakfast (I was craving some!), but they do have classic European Danish pastries and freshly made large crepes 🫔 (Tianjin style, not the Shandong type). Yantai apples 🍎 are tasty (the welcome apple we received was super sweet!). 😌 The towels in the room are soft and fluffy. 🕴️ Service: Excellent. A big thanks to the gym front desk lady who waited for me to finish showering even after her shift ended 🙏🙏🙏. ♨️ The pool/hot tubs/baths close at 10 PM. The gym is open 24 hours and has all the basic equipment you need. There's even a Smith machine and an Olympic bar, which allowed me to get my squats in! 😎 (Warning: Add weight plates responsibly).

I went to Qingdao with my colleagues to meet a client, and only found out upon arrival that they were staying at the Hyatt Regency. So, I made a last-minute booking through Ctrip at the hotel. A big thank you to Andy at the front desk for upgrading my room and helping arrange a room next to the client's, as well as sending up two fruit platters. The next day, I attended a public welfare event press conference for the spotted seals at the Polar Ocean World. I couldn't make it back to the hotel in time for check-out at noon, so I really appreciate Linda at the front desk for assisting with a late check-out. The hotel's location is excellent, the breakfast is fantastic, and it has its own private beach. It's also very close to the Polar Ocean World.
