The Furama Hotel (Fulihua dajiudian) is conveniently located in the center of Dalian's commercial, shopping and entertainment area. This is probably the best of the five stars in town, a Japanese hotel that is amply equipped to cater to all of your needs. The lobby is especially magnificent - a sweeping curve of marble floor and carpet.

There are a total of 832 rooms here, including executive floor rooms and suites. The rooms are all fairly spacious, and are well equipped with satellite TV, air-conditioning, safe deposit boxes, minibars and baths. For recreation the hotel also comes up trumps, with the Furama club. It has an indoor swimming pool, a golf simulator and bowling alley, a tennis court, a squash court, a gym, snooker tables, a beauty parlor, massage and sauna. There is even an impressive shopping arcade, that leads off from the lobby, stocked with many international brand shops and with international prices to match.

The business center here provides secretarial services, copying, fax, IDD telephone, and PC rental with access to Internet. There are a number of rooms that can also be used for meetings and banquets, the largest being 1500 square meters. All can be equipped with simultaneous interpretation systems.

There are many dining choices, the elegant Chao Zhou Village, the Special Flavor Restaurant, the Rose Grill Room (French cuisine), the Fuji Japanese Restaurant, the Sorabol Korean Restaurant, and a nice coffee shop La Brasserie. There are also 5 bars and a night club.
