Marriott Nanjing South
Indoor pool and hot tub near the Qinhuai Scenic Area
About this hotel
Four minutes by taxi to the Qinhuai Scenic Area is unusually close among the hotels on this list, making this a practical base for an evening out along the canal without a long ride back afterward. The indoor pool and hot tub sit alongside a fitness centre and bar, and free parking and free Wi-Fi are included as standard. The proximity to Nanjing South Railway Station, a short distance further, adds convenience for travelers connecting onward to Shanghai or Suzhou. Kid-friendly touches and a smoke-free policy round out a stay built for both a family break and a shorter business trip near the rail hub, with breakfast available for an extra charge rather than bundled into the room rate.

Our take
This suits travelers who want to be close to both the Qinhuai Scenic Area and the high-speed rail connections at Nanjing South, with the hot tub a genuine draw after an evening walk along the canal in cooler weather. The four-minute taxi ride is a real convenience. Anyone based primarily around Xinjiekou or the Confucius Temple old town may prefer a hotel closer to that side of the city instead.
- ✓Take the short taxi ride to the Qinhuai Scenic Area in the evening, four minutes makes it an easy add-on to any day.
- ✓Use the hot tub after a canal-side walk in cooler months, it makes a real difference on a chilly evening.
- ✓Book ahead if connecting to Nanjing South Railway Station the next morning, the hotel's proximity saves real time.

Why guests love itBeing four minutes from the Qinhuai Scenic Area meant we could head out for an evening walk along the canal and still be back in time for a swim before the kids' bedtime. The hot tub afterward was a nice way to warm up on a cooler evening, and being close to Nanjing South made our onward train the next day much less stressful.
