Fairmont Nanjing
A luxury tower with an indoor pool and multiple bars
About this hotel
Three restaurants and multiple bars give this tower more evening options than most hotels on this list, useful for a longer stay where eating in the same restaurant every night would get old fast. The indoor pool and hot tub sit on a dedicated floor with a fitness centre, part of the polished, high-end positioning that runs through the chic rooms and suites upstairs. Kid-friendly touches and a smoke-free policy broaden the appeal, and free parking and free Wi-Fi are included rather than charged as extras, a detail that matters more at the very top end of the market than travelers might expect from a tower of this size and reputation.

Our take
This suits couples and business travelers wanting a genuinely high-end stay with real dining and bar variety, plus an indoor pool for a swim between meetings or before an evening out. The multiple bars add a social element rarer in this price bracket. Travelers on a tighter budget will find similar indoor-pool access at more understated properties for considerably less.
- ✓Try a different one of the three restaurants each night on a longer stay, the variety is one of the hotel's stronger points overall.
- ✓Use the indoor pool before an evening at one of the bars, it makes for a natural transition between afternoon and evening plans.
- ✓Confirm free parking availability if driving, spaces can fill up during busy business periods in the city.

Why guests love itWe came for a long weekend and the range of restaurants and bars made it easy to have a different evening each night without leaving the hotel. The indoor pool was a good midday reset between a business meeting and dinner, and the rooms felt noticeably more polished than other towers we have stayed at in the city, enough that we would happily book the same hotel again on a future trip.
