What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The 283-room resort, in Beidaihe New District, divides its rooms into oceanview and oceanfront categories.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Seatopia's wide sandy beach sits right outside, stretching along the quiet coastline away from central Qinhuangdao.
The rooms
Rooms are angled at 45 degrees so every layout looks directly out across the Bohai Sea.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A rooftop infinity pool looks out across the Bohai Sea, and a heated indoor pool sits below illuminated ceilings.
The gym
Cardio machines and free weights line floor-to-ceiling windows that look straight out over the Bohai Sea.
Man Ho Chinese Restaurant
Cantonese classics and Bohai Bay seafood are served beside floor-to-ceiling glass, and six private dining rooms overlook the water.
Restaurant
GangCheng Kitchen
Three distinct dining zones share one open floor, where live show kitchens prepare international buffets beside curved banquettes.
At the table
LIU Bar mixes craft cocktails on the top floor, set beneath a glowing fiber-optic ceiling facing the sea.
How it began
The resort stands in Beidaihe, a coastal district first opened to summer travelers by the Qing court in 1898.

The eight vibes

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
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
