Xiamen, China · Kempinski · Core Luxury
Kempinski Hotel Xiamen rises above Yundang Lake, the former inner bay turned from a waste-degraded estuary into the city's urban green lung through a decade-long restoration completed in the 1990s. The 460-room tower commands Siming District at No. 98 Hubin Middle Road, with the lake's restored 10-square-kilometre surface below and five dining venues, including a Japanese restaurant with teppan stations and tatami rooms.

About Kempinski Hotel Xiamen
- Yundang Lake below the hotel was once a polluted tidal estuary; a major reclamation and remediation project in the late 1980s and 1990s converted it into a 10-square-kilometre freshwater urban lake, now considered one of China's most-cited examples of inner-city ecological restoration.
- The hotel's Japanese restaurant Min Xuan operates teppan stations, a sushi bar, and private tatami dining rooms — a dining configuration rare in Fujian Province, which has no Japanese culinary tradition.
- Entry-level rooms start at 452 sq ft (42 m²).
History
Kempinski Hotel Xiamen is the brand’s five-star city hotel in Xiamen, positioned in the heart of the city with views over Yundang Lake. The current official property page confirms 460 rooms and suites, more than 2,600 sqm of meeting and event space, and wellness facilities, but it does not state an opening year or provide architectural history. The hotel is distinguished by its European-flair positioning and its mix of Western and Asian dining. Official restaurant names include Min Xuan, All Day Dining, Yue Fu, Kempi Deli, and The Lounge.
The setting
Kempinski Hotel Xiamen commands No. 98 Hubin Middle Road in Siming District's commercial core, rising as one of Fujian Province's tallest towers with unobstructed views over Yundang Lake — the city's former inner bay, once degraded by 1970s land reclamation and later ecologically restored into Xiamen's celebrated urban green lung. This central address on the Hubin Road corridor links guests to the Zhongshan Road pedestrian district, the Xiamen Railway Station catchment, and the broader Siming commercial belt, while the Xiamen International Conference and Exhibition Centre is a 15-minute drive and Gaoqi International Airport 20 minutes away. 9 km from history exhibits at the Hulishan Cannon Fort. 6 km from access to Gulangyu Island.
