At the Hotel Indigo Xiamen Harbor hotel, our design captures the energy of our neighborhood in murals, local artwork and authentic tea sets that recall Xiamen’s trading history in both Oolong Tea and porcelain. We’re located on Lujiang Road in the central business district, with panoramic views of the Harbor and Gulangyu Island (sometimes called “Piano Island” due to the many western colonials here who played the instrument). Our found-metal sculpture of the Lady Overlooking the Harbor is the lobby’s focal point; our gallery tunnel surrounds you with a photographic timeline of the neighborhood. Inspired by Xiamen’s colonial past, QUAY restaurant and lounge offers a creative menu combining the best of local flavors, indoors or on our expansive outdoor terrace. Creative event spaces feature artwork and great views, as well.
A fully equipped and naturally lit gym is located on Level 5 with the latest generation of cardio strength and weight equipment as well as a stretching area.
On-Site Fitness Center Available
Our neighborhood in the ancient Chinese port city of Xiamen has seen just about everything: the rule of dynasties, the prosperity of a merchant trading hub, and an economic explosion that still thrives today. Here, you can follow in the footsteps of local warrior hero Zhen Cheng Gong, who trained his Ming Dynasty army in Xiamen. Visit the well-preserved Foo Sing Hotel, where a peek into the long-ago culture and lifestyle of the locals is on display. Or, on Gulangyu Island, discover the musical heritage that renamed this place “Piano Island.” Alongside this rich history, our long-standing merchant scene is still very much alive, with our vibrant open markets and the beauty of our harbor always part of the local experience.
Just a five-minute ferry ride from the mainland, this charming island lures local and visiting mainlanders with its Victorian-style architecture, lush Shuzuang Garden and rich history. Narrow streets are free of traffic and perfect for strolling, while the hike to Sunlight Rock—the island’s highest point—is accented by poetic inscriptions dating back 400 years.
Home to popular draws such as Hulishan Fort, the Yefeng and Zengcuan villages, and Guanyin Mountain, Island Ring Rd (Lujiang Rd) is around the corner from our boutique hotel and lends itself well for a day of discovery. You can rent a bicycle on Island Ring Road and pedal from attraction to attraction along this 31-km, sculpture-lined bike lane perched along the ocean.
The aromas of fried food and spices will guide you to this pedestrian shopping street and the city’s retail district. Once filled with buildings from the 1920s, this colorful street sports modern shopping and lots of vendors hawking local specialties, such as fried squid on a stick. The eclectic offerings run the gamut from traditional pharmacies to international fast food.
Our port city is famed for its traditional Minna-style Nanyin opera, which dates from the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago and sets itself apart with slow and drawn-out tempos. But head to Zhongshan Rd to experience Xiamen’s other renowned lyrical styling, Ge Zai, rooted in the region’s folk arts and sung in a blend of Xiamen and Zhangzhou accents.
This fun eatery offers fresh catches and traditional Chinese favorites such as fish congee and, as the name suggests, shacha noodles, taking full advantage of Xiamen’s coastal location.
Once a vital port for the tea trade, Xiamen still enjoys a prevalence of teahouses. Sit back and relax with a steaming cup of Gong Fu—a local favorite—from Yupinxuan Teahouse, which is near our boutique hotel, or sip the region’s other popular varieties such as Oolong, Da Hong Pao and Tieguangyin.
For a livelier indulgence, head to this brew pub for a refreshing draught pint of Guinness or Kilkenny, and cheer on the local Xiamen Typhoons Rugby Club.
