DoubleTree by Hilton Foshan Nanhai
Nanhai's budget-friendly indoor pool and hot tub
About this hotel
The price-to-rating balance is the clearest reason to consider this property: at 57 EUR it undercuts Swissotel and Sofitel considerably while matching Sofitel's 9.2 rating almost exactly. The indoor pool and hot tub combination sits in Nanhai district, a more residential and business-oriented part of Foshan than the heritage-heavy Chancheng old town, which suits travellers whose trip is not centered on temple-hopping. The bar and restaurant cover meals and evenings without needing to leave the property, and the smoke-free policy runs throughout. Breakfast is available for an added charge rather than included, one of the few places this property trims cost compared to pricier competitors, and the business center keeps a work trip functional.

Our take
This suits budget-conscious travellers who want a genuine indoor pool and hot tub without paying Sofitel or Swissotel prices, particularly those based in or visiting Nanhai district rather than the old town. The 9.2 rating on 53 reviews backs up the value here. Anyone wanting included breakfast or a spa circuit should check Sofitel or Swissotel instead, since this property keeps costs down by trimming those extras.
- ✓Budget separately for breakfast here, it is available but not included, unlike most other hotels on this list.
- ✓Book if Nanhai district suits your plans better than Chancheng's old town, the location favours business and residential areas.
- ✓Compare the price against Swissotel and Sofitel before booking, this property matches their rating closely at a lower cost.

Why guests love itThe price here undercuts Swissotel and Sofitel considerably while the 9.2 rating matches Sofitel's almost exactly, which makes this the clearest value pick among Foshan's four jacuzzi hotels. Sitting in Nanhai district rather than the old town suits travellers whose stay is not centered on temple-hopping, and the bar and restaurant keep evenings covered without leaving the property. The one real trim is breakfast, available for an added charge rather than included, a small trade for the lower overall price.
