Mark your calendars: Fairmont Xiamen, the first Fairmont-branded hotel in Fujian Province, is set to open its doors on April 29.
A visionary collaboration between Xiamen Airlines and France’s Accor Group, this 31-story marvel redefines coastal luxury in the heart of Huli District’s Wutong Business Hub. Nestled between the shimmering East China Sea and the vibrant cityscape, the hotel bridges aviation-inspired innovation with the timeless charm of Southern Fujian.
Design Mastery: Where Architecture Meets Minnan Soul
Led by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Norman Foster’s Foster + Partners, the hotel’s façade mimics the layered peaks of Wuyi Mountain, adorned with thousands of terracotta-red lattice panels that dance with sunlight. Inside, Hong Kong’s Cheng Chung Design (CCD) weaves Hollywood’s golden-age glamour into Minnan traditions. Think crimson brickwork echoing Fujian’s ancestral homes, paired with brass filigree screens and contemporary art installations—a dialogue between global sophistication and local heritage.
414 Sky-High Sanctuaries with Panoramic Drama
Every one of the hotel’s 414 rooms and suites features floor-to-ceiling windows (180°–270°), framing vistas of Xiamen’s skyline or the East China Sea. Design nods to aviation abound: a serene palette of Xiamen Airlines’ signature blue and white, smart climate controls, and Dyson hairdryers. Select suites boast private terraces, while the exclusive Fairmont Gold Lounge pampers elite guests with 24/7 gourmet dining, bespoke concierge services, and panoramic meeting spaces.
