Hyatt Regency Changchun
High-rise indoor pool and hot tub with city views
About this hotel
The indoor pool sits inside a high-rise structure, so the water comes with a skyline view rather than the enclosed, windowless setup common at this star level, and the hot tub next to it is the better choice once the sun goes down and the gym traffic dies off. Guests split fairly evenly between the dining and bar circuit downstairs and the fitness center upstairs, with golf access pulling a smaller group who treat the hotel as a base rather than a destination. Changchun Children's Park is a nine-minute walk, an easy option on a mild afternoon, while the airport shuttle handles the 52-minute run to Longjia for anyone flying out. Room service covers the gap between the pool closing and dinner, and the business center keeps the high-rise feeling less like a resort and more like a serious stay.

Our take
Couples and solo business travellers get the most out of the high-rise pool and hot tub combination, especially anyone who wants a view rather than a windowless box. The nine-minute walk to Children's Park is a genuine plus for anyone staying more than a night or two. Guests chasing a rooftop-specific pool or a swim-up bar should look elsewhere, since this is a conventional indoor pool set inside a tall building rather than on top of it.
- ✓Ask for a higher floor if the pool view matters to you, the layout rewards it more than most hotels in the city.
- ✓Walk to Children's Park in the nine minutes it takes rather than taking a taxi, it is an easy stroll.
- ✓Use the airport shuttle for the 52-minute run to Longjia, it saves negotiating a taxi in a second language.
Why we love it
- An indoor pool with a genuine skyline view
- A hot tub for the evening wind-down
- Nine minutes on foot to Children's Park
- Golf access most hotels here do not offer
Why guests love itThe high-rise setting changes the pool experience more than expected: swimming with a skyline outside the window instead of a blank wall makes even a short session feel less like a hotel chore. The hot tub next door becomes the natural stop after a day split between meetings and the gym downstairs. Children's Park is close enough to walk to without planning around it. Golf access is a genuine extra, though it goes unused by anyone not already playing.
