Sheraton Grand Xiamen Jimei
An indoor pool and hot tub with a concierge team
About this hotel
Sheraton Grand Xiamen Jimei runs a quieter, more business-oriented version of the Jimei indoor-pool format: the pool and hot tub sit alongside a fitness centre rather than a play area, and the modern restaurant serves Chinese and Cantonese cuisine for lunch and dinner without the family-menu breadth of some neighbouring hotels. Rooms keep to the essentials done well, private bathrooms, free WiFi, a minibar and a proper work desk, and outdoor seating by the bar gives an option beyond the room after a swim. Free on-site private parking and a 24-hour front desk and concierge round out a stay built for guests who want the pool without extra amenities competing for space. Dongdu Wharf sits 18 kilometres away and Bailuzhou Park about 20, both reachable as a half-day trip.

Our take
This suits business travellers and couples who want a solid indoor pool and hot tub without the family-focused extras of nearby Crowne Plaza. It works less well for families specifically chasing a play area, that is not part of this property's offering. Couples score the location particularly well, useful context for anyone weighing Sheraton against its closest Jimei competitors.
- ✓Use the outdoor seating area by the bar after a swim rather than heading straight back to the room.
- ✓Book free on-site parking in advance if arriving by car, it is available but worth confirming ahead of a busy period.
- ✓Plan the half-day trip to Dongdu Wharf or Bailuzhou Park around a morning pool session, both sit an 18 to 20-kilometre drive away.
Why we love it
- A quiet indoor pool without a crowded play area
- A proper fitness centre alongside the hot tub
- Concierge service on top of the 24-hour desk
- Outdoor seating right by the bar
Why guests love itThe indoor pool here felt calmer than expected for a Jimei business hotel, no play area crowding the water, just a straightforward swim before dinner. The fitness centre next door meant a workout and a soak in the hot tub could happen back to back without leaving the wing. Outdoor seating by the bar became the evening spot once the pool closed. Dongdu Wharf made an easy half-day trip on the one free afternoon.
