Wyndham Grand Hotel is located in Xiamen city's high-end business district and is also very close to the Xiangshan International Pier. It's also close to some other notable landmarks such as Huandao Rd, Marathon Road, and of course the beautiful seaside. The hotel is only 20 minutes away from the airport by car making it a very convenient. If you missed my previous post on this hotels Exterior and Food, feel free to revisit thathere.

How did I choose this hotel? That's a good question, and the answer is I actually didn't. I came to Xiamen to visit my friend and she suggested this hotel and proceeded to book it for me. Little did I know that this was a brand new hotel built in 2016, not only that, it's only a 500m walk away from my friends place.

As I walked into the 12m high landing foyer, I can't help but be dazzled by the amazing glistening crystal lights above. It was magnificent.


Corridoor leading to the rooms


As you open the door to your room, the curtains automatically allowing the bright and beautiful sunshine to welcome you to your room.


Lets take a look at the facilities in this room from this newly built hotel.

The first thing that me and my friend did as we settled in our room was to lie down on the bed for some rest.


The beside cabinet has this speaker device that allows you to play music from your phone as well charge it at the same time. Not only that, it's also an alarm and clock! Probably the most functional and useful gadget a frequent traveller would need!



Just above the bedside cabinet, there is a control panel offering an electrical socket but more importantly the ability to control all the lights in the room. You can even electronically control the curtains from here.



French windows are great for giving a really full view. I can see the dock from the view of my room, and all the white sail boats getting ready to go back out to sea.


Even the architecture of the building opposite us looks like a boat.

Suitcases can be placed on this purpose made suitcase desk for convenient access.

Tea table


Just beneath the tea table is a small refrigerator with tea coffee amenities as well as the usual soft drinks and beers.



Beside the windows there is a small working desk for me to keep Steeming :D

Actually, I really like the curvey design of the desk and chair.

On the other side, adjacent to the windows is the sofa which is also conveniently placed for maximum natural light.


The wardrobe is a simple yet attentive design.

It has nicely separated areas for different kinds of items.

There are different hangers used for different kings of clothes. There is even an iron and ironing board.

The safe-deposit box looks very sturdy and robust. It's good to put your travel documents and other important or expensive items in here if you do not plan on taking them out with you.

Open design bathroom


The toilet illuminates at night time, I think this is a really clever design, especially important for those who like to have bathroom trips in the middle of the night.


However, what I showed you above is what the room looks like when we first checked in. After just one day, it'll look more like this. Anywhere with a surface to put something, something will occupy that space. It's usually make-up, or skincare products. After just one day, I couldn't even find the speaker anymore..

Next, lets have a look at the facilities on other floors.

Here we have a small yet very feature complete gym for those who can't go a day without working out.



Outdoors swimming pool

Although the pool has been under the sun for a while, the temperature of the water is still quite cold. Definitely too cold for me to go for a swim. It is winter after all.

That said, sun bathing is still an option, it feels very comfortable this time of year. Not too hot, not too cold.


The Beach beside the hotel：


Because this area is considered the business district, the beach is surprisingly empty and very tranquil. It's beautiful watching the waves splashing ashore.



I hope you enjoyed my review of this brand new hotel in Xiamen. Whether you're visiting for business, or a vacation, I would highly recommend this hotel. It's in a prime location with easy access to the airport, and surrounded by the cities newest re-developments. It is however a little far from the typical tourist spots but perhaps it's something you would appreciate when retreating home after a day of sightseeing or work.
