Renaissance Xiamen Hotel: Pool & Location

At a glance: 5-star · Since 2019 · 206 rooms

Overlooking Tongan Bay along the Huandong West coastline, the Renaissance Xiamen Hotel draws on the area’s fishing heritage in its design. Sail-inspired installations, ocean-borrowed colors and patterns, and a playful play of light and shadow all point back to the sea as the source of beauty. Nearly every space in the hotel offers a view of the water, and the accommodations come with private balconies and bathtubs that look out onto it.

The guest rooms, suites, and villas each have a balcony facing the ocean or the pool, with a minimum size of 60 square meters. Dining takes place in an oceanfront setting across three outlets. At R Bar, floor-to-ceiling windows keep diners’ attention on the view, while the Waterfront restaurant sits right on the shore.

The fitness center encourages guests to push harder, with the reward of a refreshing dip in full view of the sea. For those who prefer a different kind of respite, there are six swimming pools, five of them outdoors with distinct themes. Shopping and a cinema are close by. The colorful seafront setting suits weddings and events, and the hotel has nine designed venues, including two pillar-free ballrooms.

Nearby, Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, Xiamen North Railway Station, and Gaoqi Railway Station are all within easy reach. Wutong Passenger Wharf is 10.2 kilometers away, Xiamen Tourism Passenger Wharf 18.1 kilometers, and South Putuo Temple 19.2 kilometers.

Xiamen Renaissance Hotel is an excellent choice for a family vacation with children. The hotel features a modern, avant-garde design, and its special rooms offer expansive sea views. Both the indoor and outdoor swimming pools are child-friendly facilities, perfect for kids to enjoy the water. The breakfast selection is also diverse, featuring Chinese and Western dishes as well as local Minnan specialties. The rooms are clean and stylishly designed, with some featuring sea-view bathtubs and private terraces. The service is attentive and excellent. Highly recommended! Thank you, Kelly, for making all the arrangements and making our holiday so memorable!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Renaissance Xiamen Hotel and was thoroughly impressed. The contemporary design of the hotel blends perfectly with its stunning beachfront location. My room was spacious, impeccably clean, and offered breathtaking views of the coastline.The service was a standout feature; the staff went above and beyond to ensure a seamless check-in and a comfortable stay. I also highly recommend the dining options—the breakfast buffet offered a fantastic variety of both local and international cuisines. It is the perfect destination for anyone looking for a mix of luxury and relaxation in Xiamen.

I never imagined that a hotel under the Marriott brand could be so disgraceful and careless. At Renaissance Xiamen, I found a dead bird floating in the pool for an entire day. Yes, a DEAD BIRD in the pool — a serious health hazard, especially with the risk of avian flu. I unfortunately swam in that pool before realizing, and now I’ve had to undergo medical checks. What did the hotel do? Nothing. No apology, no urgency, not even compensation for one night. In fact, they offered me a downgrade instead of a solution. They ignored all requests and acted like I was the problem. This is a shameful failure of basic hygiene and hospitality. I’ve stayed at hundreds of hotels and never experienced such reckless disregard for guest health and dignity. The management should be held accountable. Do yourself a favor and stay far away. I’ll be sharing this story across platforms until they make things right — because guests deserve better.

Greathote! Everything is clean and tidy, beautiful and charming, the room is spacious and comfortable, suitable for business trips. The restaurant close after 9 pm in the evening. It was Davey at the front desk who helped me order takeout. Thank you very much for Davey's help. I would be happy to visit again.

We were very happy with our stay at the hotel. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in at the door. They helped us with our luggage. The cleaning lady was very friendly too and was happy that at least we could communicate a little bit in Chinese even though we’re foreigners (Africans). They gave us some commentary soup because it was a “cloudy day” which was a nice gesture. The hotel is kid friendly with kids pool and amenities. It’s not close to a lot of attractions but good for a short stay.

This is a very nice hotel, clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff. The weekend dinner buffet was beyond our expectations especially for that price, it’s a must try thing if you stay at Renaissance. Can say the same about the breakfast, however the coffee could be improved. The only disadvantages could be the location (it’s a little far from all fun places and the beach in front of the hotel doesn’t look attractive for swimming, so it’s only good if you have a sea view room) and the swimming pool is quite shallow (1.2m depth) and small (it’s way overcrowded on the weekend in particular, full of kids yelling, splashing and approaching you if you are a foreigner and screaming HELLO HELLO HOW ARE YOU which is quite annoying). Another swimming pool isn’t a pool at all as it’s probably 0.9m depth and the other one is closed and only available for those who book the room with the direct access to the pool. If we knew it before, maybe we’d consider staying in another hotel. Anyway, we appreciate friendly hospitality and a late check out. It was a good stay overall.

Very welcoming and helpful at check-in. Great room and very quiet. Superbly designed hotel with a professionally equipped gym and full 25m indoor pool as well as a small warm pool with hydro massage jets. The outdoor area is spacious with numerous pools. There is direct access to a beach for great running and cycling. Very good quality and choice of food for breakfast. Just outside of the hotel are some very good seafood restaurants.

What is the area around Renaissance Xiamen Hotel like?

The hotel sits in the Tong'an District, a quieter part of Xiamen with a coastal feel. You're right by Dongju Harbour Beach, so the ocean is essentially at your doorstep. The area is more residential and less touristy than the city center, which is about 11 miles away. For a change of scenery, Jimei School Village and Huaqiao University are within a short drive, offering a glimpse into local life. The hotel's own restaurants and bar provide plenty of dining and relaxation options without needing to venture far. It's a peaceful base, with the main sights like South Putuo Temple and the wharves requiring a longer trip.

How do I get to Renaissance Xiamen Hotel from the airport or main train station?

From Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, the hotel is about 13 km away. You can take a taxi or ride-hailing service directly to the hotel, or use the Xiamen Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, which stops at The Third Hospital station nearby. From Xiamen North Railway Station, the hotel is roughly 6 km, so a short taxi or ride-hailing trip will get you there. The hotel also offers private car and limousine services if you prefer a pre-arranged transfer. Both routes are straightforward and well-connected.

For an evening out, start at the hotel's own R BAR, where you can enjoy live music, cocktails, and Chinese tea ceremonies. The WaterFront restaurant offers a waterfront dining experience with fresh seafood and drinks, perfect for a relaxed dinner. If you want to explore further, the hotel is about 10.2 km from Wutong Passenger Wharf, where you might find evening ferry activity. Since the city center is farther away, a taxi or ride-hailing service is the easiest way to reach other nightlife spots. The hotel's restaurant and bar provide a convenient and pleasant option without needing to travel far.

The hotel is a good base for exploring Xiamen if you plan to use transport. Wutong Passenger Wharf is 10.2 km away, Xiamen Tourism Passenger Wharf is 18.1 km, and South Putuo Temple is 19.2 km, so these sights require a car or transit.

You can also enjoy the hotel's own restaurant, cafe, and bar for a relaxing start or end to your explorations.
