What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
In Jinan's commercial center, the Kempinski rises over a city whose identity is built on water: over 800 artesian springs feed the aquifers below.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Corporate offices and plazas fill the surrounding Hanyu Financial Valley, with the city's famous natural springs nearby.
The rooms
Rooms sit between the 55th and 70th floors, with flowing-water carpets and floor-to-ceiling glass looking out across Jinan.
The spa and pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 20-metre heated lap pool and private treatment suites with soaking tubs look out from the 51st floor.
The gym
Life Fitness cardio machines and a dedicated yoga studio overlook the mountains and city through high-altitude windows.
The View Restaurant
Open show kitchens prepare international and regional Shandong dishes beside panoramic windows on the 53rd floor.
At the table
A ground-floor steakhouse dry-ages its cuts on site, and the 52nd-floor lounge pours cocktails high above the city.
How it began
The 339-meter Yunding Building takes its fluted profile from an ancient bronze gu vessel.
