The hotel's facilities are very new, and the views are also excellent. You can see the cityscape of Jinan stretching along Jingshi Road from your room, making it worth a special stay when you visit Jinan. The amenities are from Natura Bissé, the same sophisticated, less common Spanish brand used at the Park Hyatt Shanghai. However, if you're coming for the service, I'd suggest choosing another hotel.
I knew before arriving that Kempinski's service was rather "indifferent," but I never expected it to be this bad, especially the concierge department, which was a complete failure – practically on par with a Hanting Hotel. Why Hanting? Because Hanting doesn't have any concierges at the entrance, and the Kempinski Jinan is just the same. The concierges just stood in the driveway, didn't offer any service during my stay, didn't open car doors, and didn't help with luggage. Crucially, they weren't even busy, which made me question the purpose of having a concierge. Returning to the hotel in the evening, two young concierges were standing at the front desk using their phones, and there was still no one to greet guests outside. I'm not sure what the service standards are here, but the Hyatt on Jingsi Road is definitely not like this, and they really give off that 'Hospitable Shandong' feeling. I'd recommend either disbanding the concierge department here or firing everyone.
However, I must thank Sarah at the lounge; her service was impeccable, both in terms of professionalism and attitude, making guests feel truly at home.
