Conrad Xiamen
This is one of the most beautiful hotels we have stayed in. The lobby and restaurant area is hugged by the water with islands scattered and shrouded in fogs. Room is spacious and exquisitely decorated. Breakfast contains copious western and Chinese selections.

Hilton Xiamen
At the check-in staff did not seem so kind. When you are traveling far from home, alone and tired after a long trip, a welcome smile matters. Overall, it is a very good hotel, also well located.
