Waldorf Astoria Xiamen brings a residential interpretation of the brand to one of China's most distinctive coastal cities, combining refined interiors with access to Xiamen's commercial, cultural and waterfront districts. The hotel's design draws on Art Deco influences and local references, with dining venues, wellness facilities and landscaped outdoor areas supporting both leisure and business stays close to Gulangyu Island. The landscaped outdoor areas run down toward the same waterfront that faces Gulangyu Island, keeping the Art Deco detailing found indoors visible outside as well, right up to the water's edge.
