What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The Meliá is in the new business district in Huaiyin, five minutes on foot from Jinan West Railway Station.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set among the towers of the Huaiyin business district, positioned close to high-speed rail links.
The rooms
Rooms look out over the city skyline, finished in light wood and pale stone.
The spa
Therapists at YHI Spa perform bodywork treatments and restorative rituals behind a warm wooden reception counter.
Nan Chinese Restaurant
Crystal chandeliers hang over lazy susans in the private rooms, where chefs prepare Cantonese and regional Shandong dishes.
At the table

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
