Doubletree By Hilton Guang'An
Business-standard comfort with Guang'an's only confirmed indoor pool
About this hotel
Set inside the Economic and Technological Development Zone, the Doubletree By Hilton Guang'An reads as a business-standard stay built around the district's office traffic rather than leisure tourism. The indoor pool sits alongside a fitness room, giving guests a way to unwind after meetings without stepping outside into eastern Sichuan's humid summers or damp winters. Rooms carry the expected 4-star comforts: air-conditioning, a minibar, flat-screen TV and free WiFi, with private bathrooms stocked with slippers and toiletries. Breakfast runs wider than most business hotels in the area, with continental, American, buffet and vegetarian options plus local specialities, and the on-site restaurant covers Chinese cuisine for guests who'd rather not leave the building. The hotel sits roughly 82 kilometres from Nanchong Gaoping Airport, and a taxi ride from the older Sixian Square streets if you want dinner in the old town instead.

Our take
This suits business travelers working the Development Zone who want a reliable indoor pool and fitness room after meetings, plus a breakfast spread that goes beyond a pastry counter. It's less suited to travelers chasing an old-town, walkable base, since Sixian Square's restaurants and street life sit a taxi ride away rather than out the front door. Anyone hoping for a resort-style pool with a bar or swim-up service should look elsewhere, since none of that is confirmed here.
- ✓Ask for a room away from the Development Zone's office traffic if you want a quieter stay outside business hours.
- ✓Use the indoor pool in the evening rather than the morning, when the fitness room and breakfast service both get busier.
- ✓Book a taxi ahead if you're heading to Sixian Square for dinner, since the old town sits outside comfortable walking distance.
Why we love it
- An indoor pool that works through humid Sichuan summers
- 24-hour front desk and concierge for business travelers
- Breakfast spread wider than most Development Zone hotels
- On-site Chinese restaurant steps from the pool and gym
Why guests love itA stay here works best framed around the pool and breakfast rather than sightseeing: the indoor pool is a genuine wind-down option after a day out at the Deng Xiaoping Memorial Garden, and the wide breakfast spread, continental to buffet to local specialities, makes mornings easy with younger travelers in tow. What's missing is anything built specifically for kids, no shallow end signaled, no family pool hours, so this reads as a comfortable base for families rather than a hotel designed around them.
