Changsha Hotels with Infinity Pools

"This river-view hotel is fantastic! The minimalist luxury decor feels high-end and tasteful, and the lighting design creates a wonderful atmosphere. It's truly romantic, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a view-facing pool. You can soak in the tub while enjoying the panoramic scenery of the Xiang River, Orange Isle, and Yuelu Mountain – all while sipping a few drinks. Bliss! The hotel even upgraded my room, which was incredibly kind to someone visiting Changsha from out of town. The location is super convenient for both sightseeing and getting around. I declare this my top recommendation for future visits to Changsha!"

"Traveling with my child this time, to avoid the hassle of switching hotels, I stayed at the JW Marriott on Furong Middle Road for four consecutive days. The overall experience was satisfactory. Here, I've categorized and organized the pros and cons for future reference. **I. Advantages of the Stay** 1. **Excellent Location, Convenient Travel** Initially, I was debating between Beichen Delta and Furong Middle Road, ultimately settling on this hotel. I liked that it offered a quiet retreat from the city bustle, away from the noise of the Wuyi business district, ensuring a peaceful night's rest. The hotel is about 130-150 meters from Tu Jia Chong Station on Metro Line 1, a five-minute walk. Getting a taxi right outside the hotel is very smooth, making travel to major attractions and the high-speed train station worry-free, perfectly suited for family trips. 2. **Outstanding Front-Line Service Reputation** During check-in, the staff were warm and enthusiastic. Restaurant staff were gentle, polite, and provided meticulous service. The concierge was proactive in handling luggage, making the initial reception experience upon arrival very comfortable. 3. **Impressive Views from High-Floor Rooms** I booked a high-floor room with dual windows overlooking the city. The two floor-to-ceiling windows offered panoramic city views, with different scenery day and night. Relaxing and enjoying the view helped alleviate travel fatigue. **II. Shortcomings** 1. **Cumbersome Elevator Transfer Process** You first need to take the elevator on the ground floor to the sky lobby on the 35th floor, and then transfer to another elevator to reach your guest room. If you have a lot of luggage or during peak hours, transferring elevators is particularly energy-consuming, greatly reducing convenience. This complicated elevator route also amplified the inconvenience when checking out. 2. **Noticeable Drop in Service Quality Post-Check-in** While the reception during check-in was warm, there was a significant drop-off when checking out. I was dragging large luggage with my child from the 39th floor, transferring to the sky lobby on the 35th floor, and then changing elevators to the ground floor. Along the way, several staff members noticed us struggling with our luggage, but not a single one offered to help. This contrast in service attitude negatively impacted the check-out experience. 3. **Unreasonable Bathroom Layout Design** The toilet area has a separate small sink, intended for handwashing after using the toilet. However, the sink is so small that water easily splashes onto clothes, making its practical utility low. The main wash area only has a single basin, which can lead to queuing for a family's morning and evening routines, making the family stay experience less than ideal. 4. **Toiletries Don't Match Brand Positioning** The guest room still provides solid soap instead of bottled liquid hand soap, which doesn't align with JW Marriott's high-end positioning. Bath salts were only provided once on the first day of the stay, and subsequent daily replenishment was not automatic. If needed, we had to contact the front desk separately. 5. **Weak Food Supply in the Executive Lounge** Although there are exclusive privilege periods like afternoon tea and happy hour, my experience after multiple visits was mediocre. Firstly, the supply of various soft drinks was insufficient, often leading to delays in replenishment. Secondly, the variety of snacks, desserts, and savory items was limited, and the food quality was rather ordinary, failing to meet the standards expected of a JW Marriott executive lounge, which significantly diminished the leisure experience."

"In general very good. The pictures did look a bit better than in real life but i was still pleasantly surprised. one of the good points were the varieties of rooms, my room looked good. Another were the pets. There was a very sweet house cat and a dog training centre of some kind across the hotel. Which is cute but they bark in the morning, that can be annoying for light sleepers. Only my sofa in the room looked a little unclean. But in general very nice, the clean bathtub made up for it. Downside would be that the location is a little awkward if you want to call a didi, and there is not much around this hotel, but if you want to go to all the hotspots, those are nearby which is nice. Only 20 min ride."

"Had a fantastic stay here! The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The bedding was super comfortable, making it a great spot for a trip with friends. Plus, they offer congee every night and a welcome fruit platter, which is a lovely touch. There's also a laundry service available. The breakfast was quite good too. The front desk was very efficient in resolving any issues. I'd definitely choose this place again for my next visit."

"I stayed in a lake-view twin room, and the view of Meixi Lake from up high was absolutely stunning, with Yuelu Mountain right there in front of my eyes. The design has a great vibe; the terracotta bricks and lighting make for amazing photos no matter where you shoot. The butler was incredibly helpful, even assisting me with selling and shipping a small pillow from the room, saving me a lot of hassle. It's just a few steps from Yuelu Mountain, which made morning and evening strolls super convenient. Full marks for the experience, I'll definitely stay here again next time!"

"For my last night in Changsha, I extended my stay and booked the Caroline Astor Suite, which offered a completely different experience from the co-branded room I stayed in for the first two nights. The Caroline Astor is one of St. Regis's signature high-end suites. Upon entering, you're greeted by a dual layout featuring a separate reception living room and a partitioned bedroom. The space is open and airy, perfect for either a casual get-together with friends or quiet relaxation, with each area remaining undisturbed. The entire suite maintains St. Regis's sophisticated and elegant light luxury design, with high-quality soft furnishings. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping views of the Changsha cityscape – watching the clouds drift by during the day and overlooking the twinkling city lights at night, a truly upgraded visual experience. The bathroom area boasts a double vanity and an oversized bathtub with a view. The amenities are, as expected, high-quality toiletries. Bathing while enjoying the city view creates an incredible ambiance. The suite's smart home control system is convenient and easy to use. However, there were two minor disappointments: The night before, there was no butler to connect with me in advance. After checking out of my previous room, I had to wait for the new suite to be cleaned before I could check in. Also, when I returned to my room early that evening, I didn't receive the St. Regis's signature turndown service, which was a bit of a departure from the brand's usual expectation of meticulous service. Nevertheless, for those who enjoy a drink and appreciate a good atmosphere, I highly recommend checking out the St. Regis's signature Champagne sabering ceremony on the 49th floor. I heard it's quite the experience, but unfortunately, due to limited time on this trip, I couldn't experience it myself."

"Absolutely perfect! The infinity pool with a view is incredible, and having a subway station right next door makes getting around so easy. Cleanliness: Spotless and well-kept. Service: Excellent! The lady at the front desk was so patient and helpful. Ambiance: Quiet, and the soundproofing is great."

"I had a fantastic stay at the Changsha Meixi Lake Marriott Executive Apartments (长沙梅溪湖万豪行政公寓酒店) and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Changsha, whether for business or leisure. The property itself is beautifully designed and very well maintained. The apartments are spacious, clean, and thoughtfully equipped, making it feel like a true home away from home. The environment around Meixi Lake is also very pleasant, offering a peaceful and scenic setting that adds to the overall experience. What truly made our stay exceptional was the outstanding service from the staff—especially Wendy at the concierge desk. Wendy was incredibly helpful, warm, and professional throughout our stay. When we were looking for dinner options, she patiently provided detailed directions and excellent recommendations for local restaurants. Thanks to her guidance, we were able to enjoy some fantastic meals and explore the area with ease. Wendy’s attentive service and friendly attitude made a big difference in our experience. She went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and well taken care of, which really reflects the high standards of hospitality at this hotel. Overall, the combination of comfortable accommodations, great location, and exceptional service—especially from Wendy—made our stay truly memorable. I would definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit to Changsha."

"This hotel boasts excellent decor and service. From the moment I checked in, I experienced truly attentive hospitality. It's an absolute gem of a hotel! The high-altitude views are breathtaking, with the front desk located on the 39th floor and guest rooms even higher. The hotel also features charming, retro-style entrance doors. Both the hardware and software are top-notch. Breakfast is fantastic, offering a wide variety of delicious options, including freshly made 'maizi fen' noodles. The location is super convenient, very close to the city center, and there's a direct subway line to the high-speed train station. The facilities are comprehensive and well-maintained. Every staff member has a smile, and the concierge proactively assists with luggage. The location is superb – if you're visiting Changsha, this is a must-book!"
