Crowne Plaza Nanning City Center by IHG
A family-friendly indoor pool and hot tub near Jinhu Square
About this hotel
The indoor swimming pool and hot tub sit at the centre of a stay built with families in mind, backed by a children's playground rarely found alongside a pool at this level in Nanning. Family rooms come with a work desk, minibar and free WiFi, practical extras for a longer stay with children in tow. The restaurant serves Chinese, seafood, international and Cantonese menus across a traditional, modern and romantic setting, wide enough to satisfy most groups over a multi-night stay. A lounge and free on-site private parking round out the practical side, with the property sitting close to both Nanning Jinhu Square and Nanning Nanhu Park. Wuxu International Airport is a 37-kilometre drive, and couples visiting together have rated the location among the highest in the city.

Our take
This suits families who want a pool and hot tub the children can use alongside a dedicated playground, best planned as an afternoon activity once the midday heat has eased. The Cantonese menu option is a genuine point of difference from the Chinese and international standards found elsewhere. Travellers wanting a quiet, adults-only pool scene should look to Shangri-La Nanning or the Marriott instead, since the playground and family rooms point clearly toward a family audience here.
- ✓Book a family room if travelling with children, the work desk and minibar make it practical for longer stays.
- ✓Use the pool and hot tub in the late afternoon once the playground crowd has thinned out.
- ✓Try the Cantonese menu option at the restaurant, it stands apart from the Chinese and international dishes served elsewhere.

Why guests love itTravellers staying here find the combination of indoor pool, hot tub and children's playground genuinely built around a family stay rather than added as an afterthought. The Cantonese menu option stands out among the restaurant's four cuisine styles, and free private parking removes a common source of friction for anyone driving in. Couples visiting without children still rate the location highly given how close it sits to Jinhu Square and Nanhu Park, though the playground and family rooms make clear who this hotel is built for first.
