Kempinski Hotel Fuzhou
The only heated pool in Fuzhou, with a mini golf course besides
About this hotel
The Kempinski Hotel Fuzhou stands apart in one specific way: it's the only property in the city confirmed for a heated pool, which matters more than it sounds like in a city where winter is damp and persistently cool rather than dry. That pool sits inside a full wellness floor with a jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, housed in a 23-floor tower in the East Second Ring Thaihot Plaza. A mini golf course gives non-swimmers, or kids taking a break from the water, something else to do, while family rooms and kids' meals make this one of the more complete family-and-wellness combinations in Fuzhou. The scale of the tower means the pool rarely feels crowded even when the hotel is busy with a Fujian trade fair group filling the upper floors.

- 23-floor tower
Our take
Kempinski Hotel Fuzhou is my choice when a warm swim matters whatever the season, because the indoor pool here is heated. Families get a mini golf course, family rooms and kids' meals, and adults have a jacuzzi, sauna and steam room for the evening. The East Second Ring location means a taxi into the old town, which I would factor into a short stay.
- ✓Book a winter stay here specifically if you want a guaranteed warm swim rather than gambling on another hotel's unheated indoor pool.
- ✓Try the mini golf course as a change of pace between spa sessions, especially with kids who need a break from the water.
- ✓Budget taxi time into the old town, since the East Second Ring location trades central access for the tower's scale and quiet.
Why we love it
- Fuzhou's only confirmed heated pool, useful in any season
- A mini golf course alongside the spa floor
- Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room in one wellness stop
- Family rooms and kids' meals for a longer family stay
Why guests love itKempinski Hotel Fuzhou stands out for its heated indoor pool, which keeps swimming comfortable in any season. The five-star, 23-floor tower in Thaihot Plaza on the East Second Ring adds a jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and a mini golf course, with family rooms and kids' meals that suit longer stays. An 8.6 score from 91 reviews backs up the offer. The old town is a taxi ride away rather than a walk.
