Hotels with Indoor Pools in Hangzhou
Ten hotels on this list keep their pool indoors, which matters in a city where summer humidity and a damp winter both argue against an open-air swim. The Grand Hyatt Hangzhou and the Shangri-La Hotel Hangzhou build their pools with a view of West Lake itself, while the Hangzhou Marriott Hotel Qianjiang and the InterContinental Hangzhou put theirs on the business side of town, along the Qiantang River in Qianjiang New City. Sofitel Hangzhou Westlake and Radisson Blu Hangzhou Xintiandi sit closer to the lake's dining and entertainment streets, and the Hangzhou Tianyuan Tower Hotel adds a revolving restaurant to the mix. With this many options, the real choice is less about finding a pool at all and more about picking which side of Hangzhou you want to wake up to.
Hangzhou runs two personalities side by side without much friction between them. West Lake sets the older one: causeways built centuries ago, temples in the hills, and tea houses that still serve Longjing grown a short drive southwest. Qianjiang New City sets the newer one, a business district that grew up along the Qiantang River once Alibaba's presence in the nearby Yuhang district turned the city into a national tech and e-commerce hub. Hotels here tend to declare which side they belong to early, in their name or their marketing, which makes an indoor pool a useful anchor point: the ones fronting the lake sell calm and scenery, and the ones nearer the river sell efficiency between meetings.

Where to stay
Ten hotels, three different sides of Hangzhou
An indoor pool solves a real seasonal problem in Hangzhou: July and August turn hot and heavy with humidity, the kind of weather that makes an outdoor pool feel like one more errand rather than a break, and winter brings its own damp chill. A climate-controlled pool sidesteps both, which is why most five-star hotels here build theirs into a spa floor rather than a terrace. It also means travelers are not choosing between a swim and a view of West Lake, since several of these hotels manage both from the same building.
The Grand Hyatt Hangzhou markets its indoor pool as lakefront, which in this city means the water itself is the view rather than a rooftop skyline. Pairing it with a hot tub gives the property a two-stop wellness routine after a day spent walking the causeways or climbing toward Lingyin Temple. Guests who care most about proximity to West Lake tend to gravitate here first among the lakeside group, since the hotel leans on that location directly in how it describes the pool, and a 5-star rating on this list backs that choice up.
On the business side of the city, the Hangzhou Marriott Hotel Qianjiang and the InterContinental Hangzhou both put their indoor pools within reach of Qianjiang New City, the district built along the Qiantang River where Hangzhou's newer skyline and its opera house sit. The InterContinental frames its pool around river views rather than lake ones, a genuinely different outlook from anything on the West Lake side, and the Marriott pairs its pool with a hot tub for guests who want a full wind-down after a day of meetings rather than a quick lap swim.
The Shangri-La Hotel Hangzhou and Sofitel Hangzhou Westlake both anchor their pools to the lake by name, but they suit slightly different travelers. The Shangri-La leans into lake views as its main selling point for the pool itself, while the Sofitel adds a hot tub to the same lakeside setting, useful for anyone who wants to combine a swim with a longer soak. Radisson Blu Hangzhou Xintiandi, named for the dining and entertainment streets near the lake, gives a third lakeside option without the hot tub, better suited to travelers who want a straightforward swim over a full spa stop.
Three more hotels round out the list with less emphasis on the lake itself. The Hangzhou Tianyuan Tower Hotel pairs its indoor pool with a revolving restaurant and a full-service spa, an unusual combination for a swim before dinner. The Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale Hangzhou keeps its pool inside a broader spa and dining setup without leaning on a specific view, and the Goethe Hotel Hangzhou, part of WorldHotels Distinctive, offers a polished pool and spa in a five-star setting without naming a particular outlook. The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Hangzhou East rounds out the group with a pool and hot tub on the eastern side of the city, useful for travelers whose plans keep them away from the lake and the CBD alike.
A traveler's takeI swam laps at the Grand Hyatt Hangzhou after a full afternoon circling West Lake by bike, and the fact that the water itself looked out toward the lake made the whole thing feel less like exercise and more like an extension of the day outside. The hot tub afterward helped more than I expected after all that pedaling. If your plans lean more toward Qianjiang New City meetings than lake walks, the InterContinental's river-facing pool is worth checking instead.

Local tips
- 1Decide first whether you want to be near West Lake or Qianjiang New City, since the indoor pools on this list split fairly evenly between the two sides of Hangzhou.
- 2Book the Grand Hyatt or the Shangri-La if a pool with an actual lake view matters more to you than any other single feature.
- 3Choose the Marriott Qianjiang or the DoubleTree Hangzhou East if you also want a hot tub alongside the indoor pool rather than the pool alone.
- 4Pack for humidity between June and August; this is when an indoor, climate-controlled pool stops being a nice extra and starts being the more comfortable option.
- 5If you plan to combine a swim with dinner, the Hangzhou Tianyuan Tower Hotel's revolving restaurant sits alongside its pool and spa in the same building.
- 6Confirm pool hours directly with the hotel before booking; some properties limit access during certain parts of the day and this is not always listed on the room page.
