Kempinski Hotel Guiyang
A high-rise pool and hot tub over Fuyu Bridge
About this hotel
Kempinski Hotel Guiyang builds its jacuzzi stay around height rather than location alone, set in a high-rise that looks out over both the city and the surrounding karst mountains, a view none of Guiyang's other jacuzzi hotels can offer. The pool and hot tub sit within that same setting, roughly ten minutes on foot from Fuyu Bridge and the old commercial streets along the Nanming River. Multiple bars and posh dining cover evenings without needing to head down into the city, and the property's roughly 18-minute taxi ride to Longdongbao International Airport is the shortest among Guiyang's four jacuzzi hotels. Free breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking come included, along with a business centre for work trips and full-service laundry for longer stays. Guest ratings here run high, just behind Anantara Guiyang Resort & Spa among the city's jacuzzi properties.
- Pool and hot tub
- City and mountain views
- Multiple bars
- Airport shuttle
Our take
Kempinski Hotel Guiyang suits guests who want the mountain and city views as much as the hot tub itself, and the short walk to Fuyu Bridge keeps the old town within easy reach. Business travellers benefit from the shortest airport transfer among Guiyang's jacuzzi hotels. Anyone wanting Anantara's full resort-and-spa depth should book there instead; the wellness offering here stays secondary to the high-rise setting and dining.
- ✓Ask for a mountain-facing room over a city-facing one if the karst hills matter more to you than the skyline.
- ✓Walk to Fuyu Bridge in the evening rather than eating only at the hotel's posh dining options every night.
- ✓Book this over Anantara if the 18-minute airport transfer matters more to you than a full spa experience.
Why we love it
- A high-rise pool and hot tub with mountain views

- Posh dining and multiple bars on-site
Why guests love itGuests at Kempinski Hotel Guiyang tend to spend as much time looking out at the karst mountains as using the pool and hot tub themselves, a byproduct of the high-rise setting none of the city's other jacuzzi hotels share. The short walk to Fuyu Bridge makes an evening in the old commercial streets an easy add-on, and the roughly 18-minute airport transfer, the shortest among Guiyang's jacuzzi hotels, suits business travellers on a tighter schedule. Posh dining on-site covers most nights without anyone needing to venture out.
