The Harbour Oriental Hotel (Haigang Dongfang Jiudian) is located at the intersection of Changjiang Road and Mingzhou Road, near the Jinhui Department Store and Pacific Mansion. The ferry pier with departures heading to Mount Putuo (Putuo Shan), a leafy retreat not far from racy Shanghai, is just a half-hour drive away from the hotel.

While offering travelers close proximity to the Beilun Port district, Ningbo City proper is merely 45 minutes away by car or cab. The nearby Beilun Central Bus Station also offers buses to Ningbo East Bus Station for RMB 3.

The hotel's two dining venues serve Cantonese cuisines as well as Chinese and Western-style buffets. Other facilities include a conference hall with multimedia equipment and a executive club with meeting rooms, a games room and a beauty salon.
