Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Hilton’s smart luxury hotel brand, has opened Conrad Xiamen on the south-western coast of Xiamen Island. Owned by Shimao Group and managed by Hilton, Conrad Xiamen is the first Conrad hotel in Fujian province and the sixth in China among a portfolio that includes Conrad Hong Kong, Conrad Sanya Haitang Bay, Conrad Dalian, Conrad Macao and Conrad Beijing, and joins the larger Hilton portfolio of more than 70 hotels in China.

“Conrad Xiamen is an excellent addition to our China portfolio. It underscores our commitment to growing our presence across the top destinations of this market and our confidence in the increasing demand for luxury accommodations from a new generation of smart luxury travelers,” said Bruce McKenzie, senior vice-president of operations, Greater China & Mongolia, Hilton. Conrad Xiamen occupies the 37th to 54th floors of the iconic 300m tall Shimao Straits Tower, in the heart of Siming’s Central

Business District. Designed to be a shopping, leisure and business hub, Shimao Straits Tower is a striking sea-facing landmark with a sailshaped design boasting expansive views of the famous Gulangyu Island.
