Chongqing Hotels with a Pool
7 Stays with Pools You Swim In Looking Out at the 8D Skyline

We open the pool list with the pool that gives the best city view in Chongqing — Conrad Chongqing scores 9.5/10 from around 2,988 real reviews. This Conrad by Hilton opened in 2024 and sits on the top 17 floors of the tallest building in central Chongqing. What puts its pool in this category: an indoor pool with a glass wall that opens onto the full skyline of towers and the city's two rivers — you swim, then look up at the whole 8D city, plus every room floating high up with gorgeous night views, and everything brand-new because it just opened. Guests agree the view from the room and pool is the highlight, alongside polished Conrad-brand service. Worth knowing straight: it's on the Nan'an south bank, not in the Jiefangbei walking district (though the Line 3 metro takes you across), it's luxury-priced, and river-view rooms cost more than city-view ones · details compiled from real Trip.com reviews.

Second is the pool that floats highest in the city — Niccolo Chongqing scores 9.5/10 from around 10,666 real reviews, the most-reviewed on this list. This luxury hotel sits on levels 52–62 of the Chongqing IFS tower at Jiangbeizui, the new financial district. What puts its pool in this category: an indoor sky pool whose glass wall opens onto the Yangtze, the Hongyadong quarter and the two-river confluence — you swim with the whole city under your feet, plus every room floating above the city from level 52 up, excellent night views, and Niccolo-brand service that ranks among the city's best. Guests call the sky view and pool the highlight you have to see for yourself. Worth knowing straight: it's at Jiangbeizui, across the river from Jiefangbei / Hongyadong (a metro or taxi ride away), it's the priciest on this list, and river-view rooms should be requested at booking · details compiled from real Trip.com reviews.

Third is the pool inside Chongqing's landmark building — InterContinental Chongqing Raffles City scores the highest on this list at 9.6/10 from around 9,810 real reviews. This luxury hotel sits in the "Crystal" of Raffles City, the famous horizontal-skyscraper complex at the tip of the Yuzhong peninsula, the point called Chaotianmen. What puts its pool in this category: an indoor pool in a building that looks out to where the Yangtze meets the Jialing, plus a level-42 sky lobby and the Crystal skybridge with 270° views, the city's signature photo. The other edge is the location — a lift down reaches the mall and Line 1 metro. Guests praise the standout views and the easiest commute among the luxury hotels. Worth knowing straight: the pool is indoor (not a glass-edged sky pool like some), it's luxury-priced, and it gets crowded on holidays as it's a famous photo spot · details compiled from real Trip.com reviews.

If you want a big resort-style pool where the kids can swim in comfort — Sheraton Chongqing scores 9.1/10 from around 5,691 real reviews. This gold twin-tower 5-star sits on the south-bank Nanbin Road in Nan'an, the side that looks back across the river to the Yuzhong skyline. What puts its pool in this category: a large resort-style pool where families can bring the kids easily, not a small in-tower pool, plus many rooms that open onto river-and-skyline views — gorgeous at night — several restaurants, and a generous breakfast. Guests praise the big pool, the relaxed riverside-resort feel and the value of a 5-star brand. Worth knowing straight: it's on the south bank, not in the walking district (a ~20-minute metro on Line 2 to the centre), and the hotel has been open a while, so some corners aren't as new as a brand-new opening · details compiled from real Trip.com reviews.

The easiest-commute central indoor pool — Hilton Chongqing scores 9.2/10 from around 3,143 real reviews. This business 5-star sits in central Yuzhong by People's Square. What puts its pool in this category: an indoor pool with a spa and fitness centre, so you can cool off mid-city without a long ride anywhere, plus a location a ~2-minute walk from Lianglukou station (Lines 1/3) for easy days out, spacious international-standard rooms, an executive lounge, and — a nice extra — it's pet-friendly. Guests praise the easy commute and the value against the other luxury hotels. Worth knowing straight: the pool is a standard indoor pool (not a skyline-view sky pool like Conrad / Niccolo), the hotel has been open a while so some corners aren't as new, and rooms have city views rather than river views · details compiled from real Trip.com reviews.

For families who want both a big pool and a kids' pool in the heart of the walking district — The Westin Chongqing Liberation Square scores 9.1/10 from around 4,220 real reviews. This 5-star sits on Jiefangbei square, the heart of the Yuzhong shopping district.

Guests praise the comfy beds, the central location and the family-friendly pool. Worth knowing straight: the pool is indoor (not a glass-edged sky pool like some), it's in the heart of a busy shopping zone, and it's central-5-star priced · details compiled from real Trip.com reviews.

We close the list with the pool pick for travellers using a hotel as a base or a rail connection — Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale Huayu Chongqing scores 9.5/10 from around 3,239 real reviews. This international 5-star sits on the South Square of Chongqing North Railway Station. What puts its pool in this category: a pool with a fitness centre in a hotel you can wheel your bags into straight from the high-speed rail, plus 262 spacious, comfortable rooms and suites that suit families and business travellers alike, and the lowest starting price on this list. Guests praise the rail-and-airport-handy location and the value. Worth knowing straight: it's at Chongqing North Railway Station, not in the Jiefangbei / Hongyadong walking district (a Line 10 metro into town), the pool is a standard hotel pool (not a skyline-view sky pool), and views are of the station / city · details compiled from real Trip.com reviews.
