Shaoxing Marriott Hotel Shangyu
An indoor pool built into a proper spa wind-down
About this hotel
The pool here isn't a standalone amenity, it sits inside a spa and wellness centre that also runs a relaxation lounge and dedicated spa facilities, aimed at guests who want a longer soak in the whole wellness experience rather than a quick lap swim. Rooms are notably spacious for the region, city views and modern amenities throughout, and the property runs three restaurants covering a wider spread than most Shaoxing hotels manage, plus a bar for evenings that don't need to end early. Guests specifically praise the breakfast, room comfort, and staff, three separate signals of a hotel that performs consistently rather than leaning on one standout feature. Shangyu sits across the river from Shaoxing's old town, roughly fifty kilometres from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, further out than the Keqiao cluster but quieter for it.
- Indoor swimming pool
- Spa & wellness centre
- Relaxation lounge
- Three restaurants
Our take
This suits travellers who want the pool as part of a broader spa stay, not a quick swim between meetings, and business guests who'll actually use a relaxation lounge and three restaurants over a two or three-night stay. It's a poor match for a one-night trade-fair stopover, the fifty-kilometre run from the airport and the property's spa-first pacing reward a longer visit. An 8.8 rating across 38 reviews is one of the stronger, more established scores among Shaoxing's pool hotels.
- ✓Book at least two nights to get real value from the relaxation lounge and spa facilities, a one-night stay barely touches them.
- ✓Try more than one of the three restaurants, the spread is wider here than at most Shaoxing properties.
- ✓Budget extra transfer time from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, Shangyu sits further out than Keqiao.
Why we love it
- Indoor pool built into a full spa and wellness centre
- A relaxation lounge alongside the spa facilities
- Three restaurants plus a bar on-site
- Consistently praised breakfast, comfort and staff
Why guests love itTravellers staying here for a proper wind-down find the relaxation lounge next to the pool genuinely worth the extra transfer time from the airport, quiet enough to read for an hour between swims. The rooms felt spacious compared with the tighter Keqiao towers, and having three restaurants on-site meant not needing to leave the property for variety across a longer stay. Shangyu is quieter than Keqiao's trade-fair energy, which suited a slower few days far better.
