Intercontinental Dalian by IHG
"Clean and spatial"
Fraser Suites Dalian

Grand Hyatt Dalian
"The room is fine, it's just the Grand hyatt normal level. The restaurants from breakfast to dinner all very low quality!"
Hilton Dalian
"The staff went above and beyond to help with any issues I had. I even wanted to buy one of their pillows, they made it happen. The only downside was that you had to either call a taxi or ask for help calling a taxi, but thereโs a concierge desk right by the front door that can help make that happen."
