Luxury Hotels in Beihai

"Stayed at Crowne Plaza Beihai Silver Beach again during the Dragon Boat Festival. 1. The location is excellent, right next to Silver Beach. It's just a few minutes' walk to the sand. The room views are expansive, offering fantastic ocean vistas, making it super convenient for enjoying the beach. 2. The hotel's pool facilities are comprehensive, with clean water and a dedicated children's play area. My kids loved playing in the pool all day long – perfect for families. 3. There was a minor issue during our stay, but the staff responded very quickly after we reported it. The problem was handled properly and efficiently within a short time, which we really appreciated. Special thanks to these four thoughtful staff members: First, on June 20th, a tall, sturdy woman with glasses and short hair in the breakfast buffet restaurant was incredibly warm and attentive, offering help proactively and providing meticulous service. Second, the concierge gentleman who answered the phone around 5:40 PM on June 20th was very quick to resolve our issue, as was the engineering department uncle who came to our room afterward – he was efficient and polite. Third, the concierge uncle (with a bit of a belly, haha) on May 21st at noon, who proactively helped us with our luggage, carefully organizing it into the trunk. He was attentive and thorough throughout. Although it's not the newest hotel on Silver Beach, we've gotten used to it and will definitely consider staying here again on our next visit to Beihai."

"For lazy travelers who don't like planning, this Hualuxe InterContinental, newly opened in 2025 with complete amenities, is a no-brainer. Butler Nan Xi sent a full guide to activities in advance, including tide times and feeding schedules, all in one go. The pool is open all day for swimming whenever you like, and the hotel takes care of everything from pet interactions to group beachcombing. Just pack your bags and check in to fully immerse yourself in a seaside vacation. Definitely one of the most satisfying hotels!"

"As a huge hotel enthusiast who has stayed at numerous high-end hotels both domestically and internationally, this stay at Song Hotel was once again a pleasant surprise, exceeding my expectations. This surprise wasn't sudden; it accumulated little by little throughout the stay, transforming into a constant sense of awe and wonder. Initially, the hotel's color scheme seemed a bit odd, but I later learned it was the color of the sunset glow on the old buildings. This nostalgic and genuine warmth permeated every aspect of the hotel's service. Because the hotel was still in its soft opening phase, I was upgraded to a suite! I was overjoyed. 🛏️ Suite Experience Over 100 square meters. The suite included an indoor soaking tub and swimming pool. The color scheme was simple and elegant—a combination of off-white, light brown, and dark wood tones, instantly creating a relaxing atmosphere. The view from the window overlooked the Silver Beach! The room amenities were top-of-the-line, from bedding to toiletries, with attention to detail everywhere. 🍽️ Dining Stunning Completely unlike anything I'd expected from a third-tier city. The selection of breakfast items was simply unbelievable for a city like this. Makana Bakery, located in the bakery, offers locally inspired bread innovations—Guangxi Liubao Tea Croissant, Pandan Coconut Croissant, Lychee Sea Salt Croissant—bringing local flavors and French baking techniques together beautifully, rivaling boutique bakeries in first-tier cities. I tried the coffee shop, Chinese restaurant, and ice cream shop one by one, and each exceeded my expectations. The hotel dedicated significant space to local cultural exhibitions. As a keen citywalker, I was exhausted from exploring Beihai's old streets and various seaside areas, but surprisingly, the most insightful experience of the city came from the hotel's exhibition hall 🤣 The curation was excellent. The curatorial text and style were tasteful. It wasn't just a perfunctory display of folk customs, but a genuine exploration of the city's historical context and way of life—from maritime culture to the memories of the Tanka people, from the old street fabric to the evolution of contemporary Beihai. It was also a photogenic spot. Another feature of the hotel is the inclusion of a collection space showcasing several high-quality niche brands. From luxury lifestyle products to carefully selected souvenirs, everything was practical, stylish, and imbued with Beihai's essence. These brands offer excellent taste and value for money. Although I also visited other places and tried several hotels, I felt that this hotel was enough for my trip to Beihai. I could relax, enjoy the sea view, shop, and eat to my heart's content. Finally, let me talk about the service. It wasn't the professional hotel service I'd expected. Having stayed in top-tier hotels, I understand the natural and welcoming atmosphere of a butler. But perhaps because it had just opened, many people's eyes held a touch of naivety and unfamiliarity. They were cautious yet attentive, which was especially endearing. That simple, unfamiliar sincerity was touching. You could see their dedication. As a Ctrip Black Diamond member, I've stayed in countless great hotels. This is the first time I've written such a thoughtful review. Because this place is more than just a hotel; it allowed me to rediscover Beihai. It also solved the pain points of traveling in a third- or fourth-tier city regarding dining, service, and the aesthetics and practicality of souvenirs (and the value for money was excellent). This wasn't just a place to stay; it was a key to understanding Beihai and a haven for my short stay."

"It takes about ten minutes to get here from the train station. The hotel is located in Beihai Golden Beach, very close to the sea. The room I booked was spacious and well-laid out. It's very convenient for getting around the area. Dining at the hotel is also easy, with various food options available. The service was very warm and welcoming. The hotel environment is also excellent, a top choice for a relaxing vacation! 😂 All in all, highly recommended. I'll definitely stay here again if I have the chance."

"Having stayed in numerous hotels both domestically and internationally, the Shangri-La Beihai stands out as the best experience we've ever had. Right behind the hotel is Golden Beach, perfect for stunning sunset views, and if the tide is right, you can even go clam digging. Our dedicated butler, Lily, provided excellent service throughout our stay, promptly assisting with both travel inquiries and daily needs. Last night, during afternoon tea, my husband, who has sensitive teeth, was kindly offered a bowl of very soft noodles specially prepared by Lily. The attention to detail in their service is truly impressive. This hotel is ideal for both short trips and relaxing getaways. I'll definitely recommend it to friends and look forward to coming back!"

"Overall, it was a good experience! We checked in on the third day of our family trip from Yunnan. It's quite convenient if you're driving, and there were a good number of guests. We arrived around 3:30 PM for check-in. It was a bit slow, as mentioned in other reviews, but the front desk staff were very polite. We also met Yuki, the hotel's GRO, at the front desk, who was very enthusiastic and proactively introduced us to the hotel and surrounding area. Because of the slight delay (only about ten minutes), she even upgraded our room type. The front desk staff also helped us with our luggage to the room. The room was very spacious and well-equipped. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, though it's a bit small and irregularly shaped. Breakfast was decent, and there's a buffet dinner on weekends (for an additional charge). You can get to the beach by exiting through the small gate next to the swimming pool, then turning left down a slope for about a hundred meters, then turning right and going down about a dozen steps. However, the sand is quite coarse, and it's crowded. Personally, I don't think it's as fun as Silver Beach, and you can't go into the water, but the scenery is nice on a clear day. Downsides: 1. One side of the barrier separating the swimming pool from the children's area was detached and very sharp, posing a safety hazard. 2. The hairdryer in the room was an old model; a hotel of this caliber should have a bladeless one. 3. The parking garage elevator doesn't seem to connect directly to the hotel rooms (or maybe I just couldn't find another route), which made it inconvenient to retrieve things from the car."

"This time in Beihai, I chose the Marriott Resort and overall, my experience was great. The most convenient thing was being able to access Silver Beach directly with my room key card, no need to go the long way around. It made going to the beach to play in the sand and water so much easier, a real lifesaver when traveling with kids. The sea view from the balcony was pretty good; I could see the ocean right when I woke up in the morning. The hotel also has an indoor pool, perfect for when it's too sunny outside."

"First off: The facilities are great, definitely living up to its reputation as a top family-friendly hotel. It's right by the beach, with an excellent location and comprehensive amenities. However, the service staff left a bit to be desired. 1. When checking in, I asked how often the pool water is changed. They immediately said daily. When I pressed for specific times, they couldn't answer and later called back to say it's continuously filtered. Their attitude was good, but the answer felt overly perfunctory and dismissive. 2. The check-in guide stated breakfast hours were 6:30 AM - 10:30 AM. However, when I went at 9:40 AM, they were already clearing the hot food section. The restaurant staff told me that 10:30 AM is only for weekends, and it's 10:00 AM on other days. This misinformation significantly impacted my experience. 3. On the second morning, even with the hotel fully booked and me waiting for half an hour for a table at 9:30 AM, they started clearing breakfast around 10:10 AM. It felt very rigid. 4. When my room was cleaned for the extended stay, I found a discount coupon for the buffet dinner. However, when I asked at the front desk, they said it wasn't open and was only available on weekends. Yet, when I went to the restaurant that evening, it was open as usual. 5. During both check-in and check-out, no one asked if I was driving or needed my license plate registered. Consequently, I was stuck at the parking gate when checking out on the third day. 6. The second day's complimentary fruit platter was being delivered to other rooms while we were out, but we didn't receive ours when we returned. 7. The air conditioning was excessively noisy and couldn't be adjusted for temperature or fan speed; it was just an on/off switch for centralized control. 8. When I ordered takeout, the delivery driver said a hotel robot would bring it. After waiting over twenty minutes without receiving it, I finally went to the takeout shelf to pick it up myself. My cold drink was almost warm by then. Oh, and one more thing: the Haagen-Dazs ice cream scoops at the afternoon tea, while not expensive, were full of ice chips when served. My child, who loves ice cream, ate it for two days like that..."

"This stay exceeded my expectations. Xiao Xian at the front desk and Xiao Qiang, the concierge, were both incredibly attentive and patient. The room was clean and tidy, with good natural light and ventilation, and the soft bedding ensured a very comfortable sleep. The hotel also has an outdoor pool, a kids' playground, a gym, and a laundry room on the first floor. Plus, you can book sea-foraging activities, making the overall value for money excellent. The hotel even offers a free shuttle bus to Silver Beach Pier, which makes getting around very convenient. This hotel truly takes the stress out of travel and accommodation. I'll definitely be staying here again on my next visit."

"Traveling with my kids and parents, I booked three uniquely themed rooms. The beach king suite offers direct access to the beach, and the twin pool suite has a pool that connects directly to the main scenic pool, which was a hit with the kids. The tranquil twin room was very quiet and perfect for the elderly to rest. The service was excellent. The butler's welcome and farewell services were outstanding, making us feel right at home throughout our stay. The staff were very professional and attentive to all our needs. There was also a complimentary laundry service every day. Breakfast was exquisite and delicious, and could even be delivered to the room 👍. Dinner required advance reservations, and you could really tell the chef's skill was exceptional 👍."
