Shangri-La Hotel Dalian

Questo Shangri-La non ha l'iconico odore di aroma nella hall. E durante il nostro soggiorno di 2N, abbiamo notato che non hanno l'iconico odore! Che delusione. La ragazza della reception è professionale ma il servizio è senza sorriso. Molto robotico. Abbiamo visitato la lounge della hall e siamo stati serviti da questa cameriera che sta solo facendo il suo lavoro, non è amichevole. La colazione è fantastica, lo standard di Shang. La camera è vecchia e ha un disperato bisogno di un lifting. Ben lontano dagli altri Shang che ho visitato.

📍 Location, location, location This hotel is in a prime spot, about 3 miles from some of Dalian’s top attractions like Xinghai Square, Venice Water City, and Dalian Castle 🏰. Super convenient whether you’re sightseeing or just exploring the city. 😴 Best sleep I’ve had in ages Honestly, I don’t remember the last time I slept so well. I got almost 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep, the room was quiet, perfectly cool, and the blackout curtains made the room completely dark, which I loved. Also, they offer an a la carte menu and even late-night service, which is super handy if you’re up late or get in hungry. 🧖♂️ Highly recommend the sauna + massage combo One of the highlights of my stay: hit the sauna for about 20 minutes, then followed it up with a relaxing massage right there in the hotel. Total game changer 💯 I left feeling completely recharged. 🏊♂️ as for the pool, I tried to go around three times… but it seems that the hotel rent it to swimming classes for kids?? So it was always full of kids which it’s fine but consider it if as myself this amenity was crucial for me to book the hotel 🍳 Breakfast could be better This is where things fell a bit short. The breakfast area is… kind of random? It’s in a hallway on the second floor, and the setup felt temporary. Not much variety, and there are no small tables, just big shared ones for about 10 people. A little awkward if you’re alone or just want a quiet breakfast. (I’ll include a pic) 📦 Heads-up on delivery If you order food delivery, you’ll need to go downstairs to pick it up yourself — they don’t bring it up to your room. ✅ Final thoughts Aside from those couple of things and the pool, my experience was honestly fantastic. Great location, super restful sleep. Would stay here again if I’m back in Dalian! 👍

Great family friendly hotel. The family room was thoughtfully decorated and my daughter got a cut plushy as a birthday gift. Great service in English.

The hotel service was excellent but the location and the rooms were old but the pool was very clean 

Excellent hotel in the center of Dalian, we enjoyed the room and the Horizon Club a lot.

Stayed here due to location being 30 minute walk from start of marathon. Staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean. Would happily stay here again if visiting Dalian
