About Conrad Xiamen
- The Shimao Strait Tower was designed by Gensler, inspired by the triangular plum blossom, Xiamen's city flower, with the twin towers appearing to 'bloom' above a podium, creating a distinctive sail-like profile on the waterfront.
- Gulangyu Island, visible from every room, was designated a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 2017 for its exceptional concentration of 19th- and early 20th-century colonial architecture, including more than 1,000 historical buildings representing Chinese, European, and Nanyang (Southeast Asian) styles.
- The 25-metre indoor pool on the 37th floor is one of the highest sea-view hotel pools in Fujian Province, extending to a Jacuzzi with direct sightlines across the strait.
History
Conrad Xiamen opened in 2016 as a Conrad-branded hotel in Xiamen, according to the brand’s hotel list on Wikipedia and Hilton’s property pages. The hotel occupies the 37th to 54th floors of the sail-shaped Shimao Strait Tower in Xiamen’s Central Business District, giving it a high-rise setting above the port and sea. Hilton describes the property as contemporary in design, with panoramic city- and sea-view rooms and a pillarless Conrad Ballroom. Its signature dining venues include Coast Bar & Grill, Lucheng, Pier 38, and Plush.
The setting
Conrad Xiamen soars from floors 37 to 54 of the sail-shaped Shimao Strait Tower at No. 186 Yanwu West Road, a defining silhouette on Xiamen's Central Business District waterfront where the island meets the open sea. The tower commands sweeping views of storied Gulangyu Island to the southwest, while Shapowei's historic fishing port — today a creative arts hub — lies 500 metres away. Nanputuo Temple, one of China's most revered Buddhist sanctuaries, is a 19-minute walk, and the scenic Yanwu Bridge boardwalk, set above waters where 17th-century admiral Zheng Chenggong once trained his fleet, provides a dramatic promenade at the hotel's doorstep.
