Luxury on Egret Island - Marco Polo Xiamen Long coveted by travelers, Marco Polo Xiamen stands as an iconic luxury landmark on Egret Island. Blending Nanyang style with European retro architecture, it nestles beside the picturesque Yundang Lake. This haven isn't just home to egrets, but the very essence of Xiamen's urban charm. With an unbeatable location, the hotel has been a celebrity magnet since its grand opening 30 years ago. Steps away from the famous Coffee Street, it's surrounded by gourmet delights and entertainment. Stroll to Bailuzhou Park for nature immersion, or reach Gulangyu Island and Zhongshan Road within minutes by car. Classically elegant rooms offer aerial pool and lake views. The soaring lobby, glass dome, and spiral staircase are Instagram hotspots. The ground floor connects to Basao Tea, a local tea brand. Whether for business or leisure, begin your unforgettable Egret Island journey here.

❤ Why we recommend it: For those seeking to experience the blend of old and new charm in the Egret Island, Marco Polo Xiamen is undoubtedly the most distinctive choice. This five-star heritage hotel, with nearly thirty years of history, combines South Asian aesthetics with modern design, telling a story of classic hotel elegance. The hotel's prime location makes it the perfect starting point for exploring Xiamen: experience the South Asian architecture of Zhongshan Road's arcade buildings, discover the local life at the Eighth Market, enjoy sunset views at Gulangyu Piano Wharf, and take in the night scenery along Yundang Lake. While trendy design hotels continue to emerge, this establishment maintains its timeless quality - from the crisp sound of breaking Napoleon pastry layers to handwritten welcome notes, allowing guests to rediscover the golden age of hospitality. 👍 Top Recommendation ✅ Must-Try: Speaking of Napoleon pastries, whether you've tried Marco Polo's version or not, mentioning Napoleon in Xiamen immediately brings to mind Marco Polo Hotel's creation. It's truly exceptional and widely considered Xiamen's best Napoleon pastry. During a break from your busy schedule, treat yourself to a lazy afternoon and don't miss this Napoleon teatime experience. As dappled sunlight dances across the table, savor the rich aroma of iced coffee paired with a crispy, flaky Napoleon pastry that spreads sweetness with every bite.

I stayed at a new hotel on Xiamen Island Ring Road, opposite the Music Plaza. It's really nice to lie in bed and look at the sea view~ In fact, you need to cross a parking lot and a road to get to the beach! Zengcuoan is nearby, which is more commercial. If you want to eat local dishes and snacks nearby, you may be disappointed! (That's why I actually regret staying here... but the catering at Hyatt is still good, and breakfast made up for my pain! It only takes about ten minutes to take a taxi to my favorite places, such as Binbei, Egret Island, and Sibei, without traffic jams. (Xiamen Island is not big. If you want to visit Xiamen University + Shapowei + Island Ring Road, it's ok to stay here~ Moreover, as a five-star hotel in a scenic spot, the price is still reasonable (I can't say it's cost-effective for the time being). But if you want to experience the feeling of old Xiamen, it is recommended to stay in the city center. (Sorry, I'm advertising for the Marco Polo Hotel, which I really like to stay in. Although it's a bit old, the location is really great. The lake view of Egret Island is unique, and it's very convenient to go anywhere.

Located on the shore of Yundang Lake, It has Nanyang-style architecture and European retro interior design. It is very popular among old Xiamen people and foreign tourists. The hotel lobby adopts a high ceiling design. The glass dome, retro spiral staircase and other details are quite distinctive. Very suitable for taking photos and checking in. 🛏Guest Room | In Room This time we stayed in a "Deluxe Lake View Room". The room is really old. The early decoration style is retained. The bathroom still has a bathtub and shower. The good thing is that the view faces the Yundang Lake. The suites and premium rooms seem to have been renovated in 2019. But the price is much more expensive, The price/performance ratio is not very high. The spare parts are still small bottles of "The Merchant of Venice". Quite rare. 🍽Dining Breakfast has a rich selection. However, the overall performance is satisfactory. The Napoleon produced by the hotel is one of the best in Xiamen.

Which city would you choose for your National Day trip? Would you choose a popular check-in spot for a special forces tour? Or choose a long-established tourist city and take a spiritual journey? No matter what method it is, it is best to choose the one that suits you and that you like. When I long to slow down and seek a deep rest for my mind and body, I will still choose a favorite city for a spiritual journey. Even if it is only for three days and two nights, it can recharge my tired soul. Xiamen is an ideal choice for a spiritual journey. This time when we went to Xiamen, we chose the Xiamen Marco Polo Oriental Hotel, a 27-year-old five-star hotel located on the shore of Yuandang Lake. The hotel enjoys a superior geographical location, convenient transportation and elegant environment. The hotel's wraparound space design gives the atrium a unique space. The atrium seats are 25 meters high and the ceiling is fully transparent, allowing sunlight to shine in from high above, making it very clear. This lobby bar creates an elegant and quiet atmosphere, suitable for casual business meetings, or you can enjoy exquisite afternoon tea here. 🛏️Room This time we stayed in the Premier Lake View Room, a super large room of 60 square meters with a white theme and full of French style. From the large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Xihu Lake, watch pedestrians strolling around the lake, and watch egrets flying gracefully...time passes slowly and leisurely. There is also an extra-large curved desk in the guest room. When traveling with children, we can easily work and the children can do their homework at the same time. The bathroom is also very large, with double sinks and a large bathtub, as well as a separate dressing room. The details are very user-friendly. 🥩Food [General] Japanese restaurant, where you can enjoy a feast for both your eyes and taste buds~ The newly launched Jin Kelly themed teppanyaki set meal, different ingredients are paired with Jin Kelly's different flavors of cheese, cheese, butter, etc. The heat and freshness are intertwined and fully integrated on the iron plate, bringing a creative teppanyaki cuisine. This is a restaurant that is highly recommended and serves high-end Japanese teppanyaki cuisine that Xiamen gourmets are eager to taste across the city. You can enjoy the newly launched Kelly Gold theme afternoon tea in the hotel lobby. Earl Grey tea cheese scones, caramel apple tarts, chestnut brownies, Baileys Irish cream mousse, matcha mixed berry cups, salmon tarts, Thai shrimp rolls... On a sunny autumn afternoon, forget the hustle and bustle of the world and enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the hotel's afternoon tea. The cafe on the second floor has a wide variety of buffet items, and their signature dessert, Napoleon pastry, is available in unlimited quantities, so you can eat to your heart's content. The executive lounge on the 8th floor offers afternoon tea from 3 to 5 p.m., and happy hour from 6 to 8 p.m., with snacks, desserts, and drinks. 🚗Nearby entertainment The hotel is only a 5-minute drive from Xiagu Wharf, where you can go to Gulangyu Island to explore the beautiful scenery and food culture of this "Garden on the Sea". It takes about ten minutes to walk to Bay Park, which is perfect for digesting food after afternoon tea. After enjoying afternoon tea, take a leisurely walk to the Bay Park to enjoy the romance of the sunset. It’s also nice to go to Jimei University Village for a city walk, which takes about 20 minutes by car.

Since the reform and opening up, Xiamen has always been a highland for international chain hotels. Rewinding back to 1996, the grand opening of Marco Polo Hotel by the side of Yundang Lake marked the beginning of its 27-year journey, accompanied by the soaring egrets by the lake. I have visited the Egret Island several times, each time staying at the latest luxury brands. This time, I came to experience whether the weather-beaten Marco Polo Oriental Hotel could still uphold its classic legacy. 🚗: Located in the core area of the island, it is approximately a 15-minute drive from Xiamen Station, with the nearest subway station being Jianye Road. As the vehicle slowly enters the Guanren International Community, the most densely populated area for foreigners on the island, coffee bars are lined up along Yundang Road. The white architecture of Marco Polo is nestled amidst the greenery, giving me a sense of déjà vu of Raffles in Singapore under the warm autumn sun. The hotel also arranges staff to open doors for guests, a detail that is much appreciated. 📖: Under the banner of the Wharf Group, the brand is named after the world-renowned Italian merchant and travel writer Marco Polo, while its other luxury hotel, Niccolo, is named after his father Nicolo Polo. The first store on the mainland was refurbished in 2019. The public area has a sense of age but does not appear overly outdated. As a member of the GHA alliance, CI was upgraded to a VIP lake view room. On the way to the room, I saw many foreign faces. It is said that foreigners love to stay here when they visit Xiamen. The hollow lobby corridor design is my favorite. Fuzhou also once had such a classic hotel, but alas... 🛏️: There are a total of 300 rooms (suites), divided into city view rooms, lake view rooms, VIP city view, VIP lake view, poolside rooms, advanced suites, distinguished lake view, luxury suites, and lake view suites, starting from 30 square meters. The distinguished lake view room I stayed in was a renovated room, with an area of 60 square meters, priced the same as the luxury suite. Upon entering, what first caught my eye was not the 180-degree floor-to-ceiling window facing the pool and lake view, but the large corner table, the longest I've seen in a hotel. The main color scheme of the room is black, white, and gray, without any flashy color embellishments. The sunlight outside the window is the best decoration, making the room look highly neat and bright. The layout is orderly, with a full partition at the entrance for privacy, and separate bathrooms and cloakrooms are distributed in a dotted manner. The welcome fruit plate and fresh flower arrangements were delivered later. The mini bar is chargeable, and the amenities are still in small bottles. The latex pillow service responded promptly. From dusk to night to dawn, looking at the lake view outside the window, foreigners by the pool sunbathing all day, it's a unique laid-back atmosphere in Xiamen. 🏊: The fitness and wellness facilities are professional. Hotel guests can use the billiards and children's playground for free. The outdoor swimming pool is a highlight, and it looks great from any angle. In October, I didn't go swimming, but there were still many families with children enjoying the clear blue water. 🍚: There are too many dining options around. The boutique gallery in the building itself gathers a large number of high-end social dining options, but it seems to have no impact on the business of its own restaurants. There are the Lobby Lounge, Café, Lotus Chinese Restaurant, General Japanese Restaurant, and Executive Lounge. I checked in everywhere except the Japanese restaurant. ｜Lobby Lounge☕️｜: From the corridor looking down, it's bustling. Afternoon tea has two choices, the seasonal special is the Thann co-branded afternoon tea for 268r. For first-time visitors, I recommend trying the Napoleon, which is said to be the best in Xiamen. It looks ordinary but tastes great, and at 48r a piece, it often sells out. ｜Lotus Chinese Restaurant🥢｜: With an antique charm, it mainly serves Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine, with Minnan cuisine as a supplement. I tried Hong Kong-style tea for lunch, and only à la carte non-buffet has soul. There are quite a few silver-haired customers in the restaurant, indicating that brand loyalty has been formed among the main customer base. ｜Café🍴｜: A small all-day dining restaurant. I came for breakfast, and I must say that it has everything a luxury hotel breakfast should have, but I suggest adding some local specialties, like that day I really wanted to eat Satay Noodles. ｜Executive Lounge🍹｜: The executive lounge has a long business hours from morning to night. Afternoon tea provides simple pastries and drinks, and dinner offers a rich selection of hot dishes and hot food, which can be enjoyed as a main meal. Today, Xiamen is welcoming another wave of luxury hotel openings. Looking back at the 27-year-old Marco Polo, it has an excellent geographical location, gilded age decorations, and the service has not dropped the ball. Coupled with reasonable room rates, it is recommended for stay.

Marco Polo Xiamen Hotel | Napoleon Classic Afternoon Tea This is also an old-brand hotel in Xiamen with a very old school decoration. But it has the advantage of a good location, the scenery around Yundang Lake is beyond words. It seems that the old-brand hotels in Xiamen all have a bit of a Southeast Asian flair, perhaps because of the many overseas Chinese who used to come and go. For afternoon tea, the Napoleon is a must-eat (after all, it has a reputation, quite a signature dish. There was a little episode, but the service recovery by the lobby manager was very good. The sofa is great to lie on, watching the koi swim leisurely. It's a joy to find peace in the midst of hustle and bustle, water brings wealth, and good luck abounds.

The popularity of the TV series 'Blooming Flowers' has driven a large number of classic and retro hotels, restaurants, and blocks in Shanghai, and this trend has also made classic and retro hotels with historical precipitation nationwide become the target of the public. 'Marco Polo Oriental Hotel Xiamen' is a classic Xiamen hotel🏨🏨🏨 This classic hotel is adjacent to Yundang Lake, with excellent geographical location and landscape. The 'Noble Lake View Room' 601 I stayed in this time directly faces the lake view and the hotel's outdoor swimming pool, which is incomparably romantic. After nightfall, the beautiful city lighting continues this romance up up up🏙️🏙️🏙️ The atrium with a rotating staircase and a large open space is very photogenic.

The breakfast served here is really great, with more than ten types of dishes such as poached eggs, Benedict eggs, dumplings, noodle paste, peanut soup, etc. are made on the spot🍳🍳🍳 The dishes from the 'Lotus Garden' Chinese restaurant can all be hits. The delicious and authentic 'Min Nan Fried Oysters' and 'Chilled Sweet and Sour Pork' are unforgettable🥢🥢🥢 The buffet lunch served by the 'Marco Polo Cafe' has dishes served by the seat every day. The self-service dishes are currently focusing on Indian cuisine, which is a great value for money. The 'General' Japanese restaurant is hard to find a seat, I can only save it for next time😞😞😞 There are several social restaurants on the hotel lobby floor, which are very charming in a petty bourgeois style. Foreigners often consume in groups of three or five, which shows their love for this place🉐 very Guests living here are convenient to go anywhere, one subway station to the 'Cruise Center', you can visit the 'Sea World' with a beautiful Ferris wheel, and watch the sea sunset. The hotel is located in the southwest of Xiamen Island, and it is very convenient to go to famous attractions such as 'Gulangyu Island' and 'Nanputuo Temple'🛳️🛳️🛳️ No. 8 Jianye Road, Siming District, Xiamen City (near Jianye Road Subway Station), from 560 yuan/room night💰💰💰
