Oriental Movie Metropolis Part Two: The Wanda Vista Qingdao Movie Metropolis Hotel

In this part two article about Wanda's Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis which opened last week-end we'll have a closer look at the Wanda Vista Qingdao Movie Metropolis Hotel. Set in Qingdao,it's a 5-star hotel featuring a fitness centre and views of the sea as it is build on an island. With a garden, the property also features a terrace. Qingdao International Airport and Qingdao North Railway Station are both a 1-hour drive away.

Now, why do i talk today about this Wanda Vista Qingdao Movie Metropolis hotel? One of the reason is because it looks like very much like Wanda's answer to Disney's lavish Shanghaî Disneyland Hotel. And not only because both are 5 stars hotels but also in the style and even the architecture as, although different, the architecture of this Wanda Vista hotel is not that far to the SDL Hotel. Both are near water, a lake or the sea, and although Wanda's Movie Metropolis has an indoor theme park which won't compete with Shanghaî Disneyland, both will have guests from the parks, as well as stars from movies productions in the case of the Wanda hotel. 


Looking at the inside it may look different specially because the color palette is not the same, here more in the blue tones but the Wanda hotel has what i could qualify as a "Chinese modern art-deco" style when the Shanghaî Disneyland Hotel, also with a 1930's art-deco style try more to replicate the art-deco style with a Disney flavor, and i'm not sure that the SDL Hotel, although very nice is the winner. So let's have a look at pictures of this new Wanda hotel which like the SDL Hotel also have high ceilings and columns. Make sure to click on the pictures to see them in big size.

Let's look at pictures of the rooms, suites and bathrooms...

There is two hotels one next to the other on the island, so i'm not sure in which one are the rooms below... 

Very nice pool...



...and the inevitable Convention Halls and Wedding Ballroom.









Okay, the style is quite a Chinese lavish style, i agree, but it's not that bad, could easily have been worst, and there is some parts of it that i even prefer to the SDL Hotel. Those interested can find rooms on Agoda.com HERE or Booking.com HERE, prices start around 200€.
