Fairmont Xiamen
Xiamen, China · Fairmont · High Luxury
Fairmont Xiamen, which opened on 19 April 2025 as the first Fairmont in Fujian Province, was designed by Norman Foster's office with a façade of Danxia-red lattices referencing the three-dimensional texture of Wuyi Mountain, Fujian's UNESCO World Heritage tea-growing heartland. The building forms part of the Xiamen Airlines headquarters complex at the Cross-Strait Financial Center.

About Fairmont Xiamen
- The façade's thousands of Danxia-red interlocking lattices were conceived by Foster + Partners as a built abstraction of Mount Wuyi, whose red-sandstone peaks define Fujian's UNESCO-listed landscape and are the origin of some of China's most prized teas, including Da Hong Pao.
- The hotel is co-owned by Xiamen Airlines, the airline integrated the Fairmont into its headquarters complex as the centrepiece of an 'air-to-ground' service ecosystem, a rare instance of a national carrier directly co-developing a top-tier luxury hotel brand.
- Fairmont Xiamen has been designated the official hotel for the Wanda Diamond League Xiamen athletics meeting, one of the World Athletics Diamond League circuit events, bringing elite global track-and-field athletes to a newly opened luxury property.
- CCD/Cheng Chung Design treated the lobby as a 'World Gathering' axis of colonnades and arches, pairing Western classical form with Minnan red brick.
- The Chinese restaurant's celadon palette is drawn from Song-dynasty ware, a cultural-memory cue inside Accor's first Fairmont in Fujian.
History
Fairmont Xiamen opened in 2021 in the Huli district of Xiamen, Fujian Province, a coastal city known for its mild climate, colonial architecture on Gulangyu Island, and position as a major international trade hub. The hotel's 414 rooms and suites are located in a high-rise tower with views of the Taiwan Strait. The property serves both the city's business community and leisure travelers drawn to Xiamen's mild weather and proximity to scenic coastal destinations. It represents Fairmont's continued expansion in China's southeastern coastal cities.
The setting
Fairmont Xiamen rises at No. 325 Donghuang Road within the Cross-Strait Financial Center on the northeastern edge of Xiamen Island, part of Xiamen Airlines' ambitious new headquarters complex whose 33-story form draws on Wuyi Mountain, Fujian's famed tea-growing heartland. Opened in 2025 as the first Fairmont in Fujian Province, it adjoins the fast-maturing Guanyinshan International Business Center and Wuyuan Bay district. The Cross-Strait Financial Center metro station (Line 2) is steps away, while Wuyuan Bay's wetland park and Guanyinshan's beach boardwalk place coastal scenery and financial-district prestige within easy reach.
