Amazing Koala Boutique Hotel

Top choice in Dalian


Over on Fujiazhuang Beach is one of the rarer hotels for the region. The Amazing Koala is a large contemporary structure set back in dense foliage near the sea. There are six sleek rooms of varying size and formation, all furnished with impeccable taste and style. There's a fine western restaurant and hot tubs in every room.

Staff are intuitive and unobtrusively helpful. Pick-ups can be arranged.
