Best Luoyang Hotels With an Indoor Pool
The indoor-pool shortlist in Luoyang narrows to one address: The Reserve Hotel Luoyang, Curio Collection By Hilton, a five-star property that pairs an indoor pool with a rooftop pool, a fitness centre and a steam room. It sits close to Luoyang Longmen Railway Station, roughly seven kilometres out, and about nine kilometres from the Longmen Grottoes, which makes it a workable base for both sightseeing and business trips. An indoor pool matters most here in winter or during Henan's humid summer stretch, when an open-air option loses some of its appeal.
The area around Luoyang Longmen Railway Station has grown into the city's newer business district, with modern towers, wide roads and international hotel brands sitting a distinct step away from the reconstructed old imperial quarter further north. The Reserve fits squarely into that newer half of the city, closer to fast rail connections and the Longmen Grottoes than to the courtyard guesthouses near Luoyi Ancient City, which makes it a more efficient base for travelers prioritizing transit links over old-town atmosphere.

One Indoor Pool, Two Ways To Swim
An indoor pool solves the seasonal problem that Luoyang's mostly outdoor or garden-style pools run into: it stays usable through winter cold and summer humidity alike, without depending on the weather outside. At The Reserve, the indoor pool sits alongside a rooftop pool and steam room, giving guests a choice between an enclosed swim and an open-air one depending on the day, which is a level of flexibility no other Luoyang hotel in this dataset currently offers.
The Reserve Hotel Luoyang runs both a rooftop swimming pool and a separate indoor pool, alongside a fitness centre and steam room, which puts it well ahead of every other Luoyang property in this dataset on pool variety alone. Rooms come with city views, balconies and terraces, and the restaurant serves Chinese, American and international menus with breakfast that includes champagne and fresh pastries, positioning the hotel closer to a full-service five-star stay than the courtyard homestays clustered around the old city. Guests with disabilities are also better served here than at most of Luoyang's smaller properties, thanks to dedicated facilities alongside the standard room categories.
Being an indoor pool changes what the amenity is actually for: instead of a seasonal perk tied to warm weather, it's a year-round fixture that works the same in January as in July. That matters in Luoyang specifically, where winters turn cold enough to shut down the city's garden-style hot tubs and outdoor pools, and summers get humid enough that an open-air swim loses some appeal by mid-afternoon. The Reserve's indoor option sidesteps both problems entirely, regardless of the season outside, which is precisely the gap that the rest of the city's pool listings leave open for much of the year.
Distance-wise, the hotel sits around seven kilometres from Luoyang Longmen Railway Station and nine kilometres from the Longmen Grottoes, both a short taxi ride rather than a walk, with Luoyang Beijiao Airport a further seventeen kilometres out. That puts it closer to the grottoes than most of the old-city guesthouses, even though it sits in a different, more modern part of town, which is a useful trade-off for travelers splitting time between sightseeing and hotel comfort. The station distance also means an early high-speed departure toward Zhengzhou or Xi'an doesn't require leaving before dawn.
This suits business travelers and couples who want a full-service hotel with reliable amenities over a smaller courtyard homestay, and who value having a pool that works regardless of season. It's a weaker fit for travelers chasing budget rates or a historic-feel stay inside the old city, since both the price point and the setting lean toward a standard international five-star rather than a boutique Luoyang experience. Solo travelers on a short business trip will likely get the most consistent use out of the indoor pool specifically, given its predictable, weatherproof hours.
A opinião de um viajanteI checked into The Reserve Hotel Luoyang on a humid August evening and went straight for the indoor pool rather than the rooftop one, since the air outside hadn't cooled off yet. The following morning I used the steam room before heading out to the Longmen Grottoes, about nine kilometres away, and appreciated not needing to plan around weather the way I would have at a garden hot tub property.
