Yantai Golden Gulf Hotel  

At the foot of Yantai Mountain on Yantai’s waterfront, a short walk from Yantai Beach and No. 1 Bathing Beach. The hotel sits about 0.5 km from the railway station and port and roughly 18 km from the airport. Close to Zhulin Temple and Yantai University — a family-friendly base for exploring the city.

Soak in outdoor and indoor pool options, drift through the spa for massages and facials, or hit the gym, sauna and beauty parlor. Playful extras include a bowling alley, indoor golf driving range, squash, billiards, table tennis and children’s playrooms. There’s also a casino, barbecue area, concierge, valet parking and tour desk — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and lots to do.
