Four Seasons Hotel Dalian

Views over Dalian Bay come with the territory at this Four Seasons, which anchors the city's commercial center with the kind of polished calm that makes a business trip feel vaguely aspirational. Rooms run to the brand's reliably high standards, and the spa and roster of restaurants, spanning Cantonese, Japanese, and European, mean you could plausibly never leave the building. Some guests, notably, do not.
