PB hotel design editorial

Rising thirty-plus floors above Xiamen's Siming District, where the city's low-rise colonial-era fabric gives way to the dense residential towers of a rapidly modernised Chinese port city, the Waldorf Astoria Xiamen presents a dark-glazed curtain wall tower that holds its ground against a busy skyline by sheer compositional discipline. The podium level — visible in the aerial images as a generous low-rise base — steps back from the tower with a landscaped rooftop terrace, outdoor pool framed by clipped hedgerows and vertical gardens, and a geometry that borrows more from classical garden planning than from the convention-centre sprawl typical of Chinese luxury hotel podiums. Inside, the interiors navigate a tension that defines the best of this brand's Asian properties: how to carry Waldorf Astoria's American Art Deco lineage into a Chinese coastal city without the result feeling imported. The guest rooms answer this through material warmth rather than historical pastiche — floor-to-ceiling walnut panelling, herringbone-and-chevron parquet laid in dark and pale timber, and slate-blue upholstered platform beds against a palette that is quiet enough to let the cityscape do its work through full-height glazing. The restaurant makes a bolder argument: a ceiling-mounted sculpture of gold-toned brass instruments erupts beneath a canopy of amber glass flowers, red barrel chairs grouped around white-clothed tables, the room landing somewhere between a Shanghai jazz club of the 1930s and a contemporary installation space — theatrical without tipping into excess.

"Returning to this hotel for my second visit only confirmed why I consider it one of the absolute best properties in China. Once again, the hospitality here is unmatched. From the moment I arrived, the concierge made me feel incredibly welcome, greeting me with a refreshing welcome tea that set the perfect tone for the rest of my stay. The entire team radiates genuine warmth and professionalism. A special shout-out must go to the personal concierge team. They truly went above and beyond, anticipating my needs and handling every detail of my stay with flawless execution and care. It’s rare to find a team so consistently passionate and attentive. Between the prime location, the outstanding amenities, and a team that consistently delivers world-class service, this has officially become my go-to hotel. Thank you for another unforgettable stay. I will definitely be back!"

"This was my second stay at Waldorf Astoria Xiamen, and somehow it felt even better than the first. The hotel is beautiful, well maintained, and the team genuinely makes you feel welcome. There are plenty of dining options in the hotel. I especially enjoyed the authentic Hokkien cuisine, and the quality of the food was excellent throughout my stay. I also had the chance to try the food pairing experience at Peacock Alley. The combination of food and craft beer was surprisingly good, and the outdoor seating area had a relaxed atmosphere that was perfect for winding down in the evening. Overall, Waldorf Astoria Xiamen remains my favorite hotel in Xiamen and will definitely be my first choice whenever I visit the city."

"This is our first introduction to the Waldorf Astoria. We were initially considering the Conrad and the W for this stay, but decided on the WA as we wanted to experience a new brand and we liked the room decor. Bath amenities are from Aesop. Automated heated Toto washlet is provided. Sanitary fittings are from Dornbracht. Paired with the Rosso Levanto marble bath, it looks stunning and clearly no expense was spared. The hotel is beautiful and our room overlooked the park. The kids enjoyed playing in the park with the locals, who were friendly. Breakfast had a varied selection and we enjoyed both the local and international spread. What made this stay exceptional was the concierge support from Jackson. We wanted local picks, and every recommendation was spot-on. He also suggested an excursion to watch dragon boat races as it was happening the weekend. Thank you to the entire team for a lovely stay."
