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.
- Heated pool
- Mini golf
- Jacuzzi and sauna
- 23-floor tower
Our take
Book this one specifically if a warm swim regardless of season is non-negotiable, since no other Fuzhou hotel confirms active pool heating. It suits families as well as couples, given the mini golf course and kids' meals alongside the adult-focused jacuzzi and steam room. The East Second Ring location means a taxi into the old town, which is worth factoring into a shorter 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 itWe booked over a damp February week specifically because we didn't want to risk another hotel's unheated indoor pool, and the payoff was a genuinely warm swim every single afternoon. The mini golf course became our son's favourite part of the trip between pool sessions, and the jacuzzi and steam room gave the adults their own wind-down once he was settled with a film upstairs.
