Pullman Weifang Wanda Hotel
Heated indoor pool and whirlpool beside Weifang's Wanda Plaza
About this hotel
Fushou East Street, in Kuiwen District, is where Pullman Weifang Wanda sits, beside Wanda Plaza and about 100 m from the Yu River. The pool is indoors and heated, with a whirlpool and a sauna alongside, which matters in a city where January averages below freezing and outdoor water is out of the question for months. The hotel has 265 rooms, 27 of them suites, and a Grand Ballroom of 1,127 m² that fills the building during conferences. ZHEN serves Shandong cooking, LE CAFE covers all-day dining with a takeaway breakfast, and the Lobby Lounge doubles as the bar. Weifang Nanyuan Airport is about 40 minutes by car, and the Weifang International Kite Museum only a few minutes away.

Our take
A heated indoor pool with a whirlpool and a sauna is the reason I would sleep at Pullman Weifang Wanda between November and March, when Weifang's January average drops below freezing. The setting is business first: 265 rooms, a 1,127 m² ballroom, Wanda Plaza next door. It works for a trade fair or a work week, with a swim before dinner at ZHEN, and less for a family holiday, since no children's pool or splash area is published. No pool length is given either, so lap swimmers should expect a hotel-sized basin rather than a 25 m lane. In April, the kite festival and the nearby Kite Museum give the stay a second reason.
- ✓Swim in the evening after a cold day: the heated indoor pool, the whirlpool and the sauna are grouped together, so you can warm up in the hot water first.
- ✓In April, the Weifang International Kite Festival brings the city's best-known event, and the Weifang International Kite Museum is only minutes from the hotel.
- ✓Allow about 40 minutes by car to Weifang Nanyuan Airport; Wanda Plaza next door makes shopping and late meals easy on foot.
- ✓On a mild day, walk along the Yu River, about 100 m from the entrance, for a break from the indoor routine.
Why we love it
- Swimming that does not depend on the season
- Wanda Plaza next door for meals and shopping
- The Kite Museum a few minutes away
Why guests love itThe heated indoor pool at Pullman Weifang Wanda works in any season, which counts for a lot in a city where winter rules out swimming outdoors. No children's pool, slide or lifeguard is published, and the wellness area also has a whirlpool and a sauna, so young children need close supervision around the water. Away from the pool, Fuhua Amusement Park is about 4 km away and the Weifang International Kite Museum only minutes from the door, two outings that suit school-age children. Wanda Plaza next door simplifies meals and rainy afternoons. I would choose it for a short city break with older children, not for toddlers who need shallow water.
