**The Lyric Courtyard Hotel, Qingdao**
A luxury boutique hotel reimagined within Qingdao’s century-old *Liyuan* courtyard residences—a distinctive architectural hybrid blending Eastern and Western traditions—our property resides in the Zhongshan Road-Dabaodao Historic Cultural District, directly adjacent to Exit A of Zhongshan Road Metro Station. This prime location ensures effortless access to the airport, transport hubs, shopping centres, and major attractions.
**Step Into History, Explore With Ease**
Within moments of your doorstep stand **St. Michael’s Cathedral** and **Anna Villa**, while a short 10–15 minute walk unveils **Zhanqiao Pier**, **Qingdao Railway Station**, **Yinyu Lane**, **Pichaiyuan Market**, **University Road**, **Longjiang Road**, **Signal Hill**, the **German Colonial Architecture Cluster**, the **Former German Governor’s Mansion**, and **Qingdao Underwater World**.
**The Soul of Qingdao’s Heritage**
The *Liyuan*—a unique urban residential form born from over a century of cultural fusion—mirrors Qingdao’s evolution as a crossroads of civilisations. Our 1920s brick-and-timber courtyard complex epitomises this tradition, its enclosed layout historically nurturing neighbourly bonds and fostering the city’s vibrant *Liyuan* culture. These courtyards once thrived as stages for opera societies, folk artists, and the legendary "courtyard-hopping" (*Chuanli*) performances, including a 1932 appearance by renowned xiangsheng (comic dialogue) master Ma Sanli.
**Where Heritage Breathes Modernity**
Faithfully preserving the original architecture’s layout, structure, and aesthetic, we’ve revitalised the space through a "renewal through heritage" philosophy. Historical authenticity intertwines with contemporary comfort, immersing guests in a living tapestry of Qingdao’s past while delivering modern luxury.
**Thoughtfully Crafted Spaces**
• **Dining & Leisure**: All-day dining restaurant, artisan cocktail bar, specialty coffee lounge
• **Business Essentials**: Executive lounge, meeting rooms, self-service laundry
• **In-Room Sophistication**: Kitchenettes, minibars, and curated interiors echoing nostalgic elegance
**A Living Cultural Canvas**
Here, every archway whispers tales of Qingdao’s artistic legacy, while every modern convenience ensures seamless urban living. Discover a sanctuary where time-honoured charm and present-day refinement coexist—a true embodiment of the city’s soul.

• "Revitalised" over "revitalized", "harmonised" over "harmonized"
• Culturally embedded explanations: *Liyuan* (italicised as foreign term), *Chuanli* with contextual gloss
• Emphasis on lyrical flow over rigid literal translation (e.g., "living tapestry of Qingdao’s past")
• Period-specific references clarified for international audiences (e.g., "xiangsheng (comic dialogue)")

«This hotel would be the best hotel in Zhongshan Area. Hotel Name is included with ” Min-sook”. But it is similar with Hotel. I have traveled in Japan, China and Asia countries in 2024~2025. This hotel is the best hotel based on Money Value. I booked the twin room but it was promoted to Sweet room with balcony. I could look around the ZhongShan road.I stayed 3'rd floor and very convenient to move via elevator. All staff is kind and helpful and you need not purchase the drinking water in store. In frond desk, I could take a complimentary water bottle as many as I like. The most important thing is location. I took a subway from Airport to hotel. the Zhongshan road station is the next building from hotel.
I took only 1 min form subway station. it is so good. Just subway fee 7 yien per person. but it took as 1 and half hour. but I think it would be one of travelling. 2'nd positive thing is I could choose the Various restaurants in nearby. seafood , china food, steak and especially, CHAGEE is opposite from hotel. I will stay again with my family in next time.»
