Dalian Railway 1896 Garden Hotel  

In Dalian, about 1 km from the city center and a few minutes' walk from Russian Style Street. Close to Zhongshan Square, Dalian Art Museum and the Dalian Sightseeing Night Market. A historic boutique hotel set in a leafy villa garden.

Founded in 1896, the property is a cluster of 28 century-old European-style villas plus two modern buildings. The villas mix German rigour with Russian romance—pointed towers, carved arches and wrought-iron lattices. There are 77 retro-chic rooms and suites with solid-wood floors, chandeliers and luxurious bathrooms; some have balconies or terraces and in-room minibars.

Swim in the pool, sweat it out in the fitness center, or unwind in the sauna. Stop by the bar, browse the library or fire up the barbecue area. On-site perks include a tour desk, concierge, laundry, private check-in/out, a safe-deposit box, free parking and Wi‑Fi. Courtyard views make for peaceful mornings.

Three meeting rooms (70–100 m²) and two multifunction halls (380 m²) with central stages, large LED screens, projectors, professional lighting and audio. Halls host 240–500 guests and the villa garden is ideal for outdoor lawn weddings. High-speed internet is available throughout.

One Western restaurant plus six private rooms open all day for breakfast, Western and Chinese dishes and buffet service. The chef highlights Dalian ingredients with modern touches and seasonal menus. A hotel bar rounds out evening plans.
