Langham Place Xiamen
An indoor pool and spa a minute from Wanda Square
About this hotel
Location is the headline here: Langham Place sits about a minute's walk from Wanda Square, which turns a spa-pool stay into something that fits naturally around an evening out rather than requiring a dedicated wellness day. The indoor pool, spa service and hot tub sit within the same wing as the fitness centre, and rooms run modern and cosy, flat-screen satellite TVs, ironing facilities, a seating area with sofa and en suite bathrooms with bathtubs and bathrobes. Four dining options cover most tastes: The Place for the largest buffet spread, Ming Court for Chinese food, T2 Teppanyaki for Western and Asian dishes, and Wine Cellar for drinks. The 24-hour front desk handles currency exchange and luggage storage, and the airport shuttle removes the guesswork from arrivals at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, about 15 minutes away by car.

Our take
This suits travellers who want a spa-pool stay with genuine city-centre convenience, the one-minute walk to Wanda Square makes it easy to pair a treatment with dinner and shopping rather than staying hotel-bound. With 491 reviews behind its rating, it is also one of the more heavily reviewed properties on this list. It works less well for anyone specifically chasing a beachfront or sea-view pool, the draw here is the wellness-and-location combination, not the water outlook.
- ✓Book the spa alongside the room in one transaction if possible, the wing gets busy given the property's high review volume.
- ✓Use the one-minute walk to Wanda Square for dinner after a pool-and-spa afternoon rather than eating on-site every night.
- ✓Take the airport shuttle rather than a taxi for arrivals, it is included and removes one logistics step from a 15-minute transfer.
Why we love it

Why guests love itThe one-minute walk to Wanda Square made this feel less like a hotel stay and more like a base in the middle of the action. We used the pool most mornings and the T2 Teppanyaki most evenings, close enough to walk both ways without a taxi. The airport shuttle on arrival was a small thing that saved real hassle after a long flight, and the polish of the stay matched the property's heavy review volume.
