What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Fairmont Xiamen is built into the Xiamen Airlines headquarters complex … its red-latticed windows echoing the ridgelines of the Wuyi Mountains.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The tower stands in the Cross-Strait Financial Center on Wuyuan Bay, looking out over northeastern Xiamen's coastal waters.

The rooms
Rooms blend Art Deco lines with Nanyang details, and wide windows look out over the city or the sea.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An arched colonnade and cushioned loungers line the heated lap pool beneath a white slatted vaulted ceiling.
The spa
Soaking tubs sit against marble walls in the treatment suites, where therapies draw on Southern Fujian aromatherapy traditions.
At the table
Victoria Destination serves Chinese and Western dishes on the 33rd floor from an open kitchen styled after a Nanyang shophouse.
How it began
Opened in 2025 as Fujian's first Fairmont, the property was built in partnership with Xiamen Airlines at its corporate headquarters.
