Xi'an Hotels with a Pool
8 Stays with Pools You Soak In to Recover After a Long Day on Your Feet

We open the pool list with the most special soak in Xi'an — Angsana Xi'an Lintong scores 9.6/10 from around 5,773 real guest reviews. This Banyan Group hot-spring resort sits at the foot of Mount Li in Lintong. What sets its pools apart from everything else on this list is 26 outdoor mineral hot-spring pools, themed by zone, plus a mineral swimming pool and an indoor pool, with the water drawn from the same hot spring as the Huaqing Pool that legend says Yang Guifei bathed in over a thousand years ago, circulated round the clock. Families say the kids soak all day, and a soak in the evening after the Terracotta Army is the best part of the trip. The honest catch: it's out in Lintong, no metro, so you rely on a taxi / shuttle, with the old town a ~40-minute-to-an-hour drive each way — it's an eastern-side base (Terracotta Army / Huaqing Pool), not a base for the city, and it's priced higher because you're paying for the hot springs too · details compiled from real reviews on Trip.com.

In second place is the design pool inside the highest-scoring hotel on the list — W Xi'an scores 9.7/10 from around 9,676 real guest reviews. The W brand's Asia flagship is a curved, purple-LED-clad building reflected in the water by Qujiangchi Park. What works for the pool category is W's signature WET indoor pool, plus the AWAY Spa and the FIT gym, all in one building — swim, then carry straight on to the spa or up to the WOOBAR. Guests praise the striking design, the large rooms (most with a balcony) and the energetic W-style service. The honest catch: it's not by the old town, so the Bell Tower / City Wall are a 20–30-minute ride away, the lively, music-led W vibe won't suit anyone after quiet, and it's design-hotel pricing · details compiled from real reviews on Trip.com.

The pick that gives you an indoor pool with a hot-spring tub in the city, at the best value of the five-star group — Hyatt Regency Xi'an scores 9.4/10 from around 4,106 real guest reviews. This hotel isn't a tower but a set of low-rise, Tang-roofed buildings in spacious grounds by Qujiang lake. What works for the pool category is an indoor swimming pool that comes with a hot-spring tub, with swim lanes, day-beds by the pool, a juice bar, plus a steam room and sauna — a combination families and couples love, since you can swim then move straight to the hot-spring tub in one place — plus standard rooms from 50 sqm, well above the city average. The honest catch: it's in the Qujiang district to the south, not by the City Wall / South Gate as some assume, so the Bell Tower / Muslim Quarter are a ~20–30-minute metro ride (though it's a 5-minute walk to Hanyao on Line 5), and the hotel opened in 2016, so some corners feel a little dated · details compiled from real reviews on Trip.com.

The heated indoor pool inside the newest hotel on the list — Xi'an Marriott Hotel High-Tech Zone scores 9.7/10 from around 360 real guest reviews. This five-star opened in 2025 in the ICC Trade Center in the Gaoxin business district. What works for the pool category is a heated indoor pool that's still brand-new, plus a new gym and an executive lounge guests praise for its food — everything still fresh from the lobby to the rooms — and even the cheapest room starts at 40 sqm, clearly above the city average. Guests reach for the words "new, clean, everything still fresh." The honest catch: it's in the Gaoxin business district on the west side, away from the old town's sights, so it's a 20–35-minute ride to the historic landmarks, and the review count is still small (around 360) given how recently it opened, even with such a high score · details compiled from real reviews on Trip.com.

The free heated indoor pool inside the largest-roomed, best-value hotel on the list — Wyndham Grand Xi'an South scores 9.6/10 from around 8,718 real guest reviews, a high count. This five-star to the south of the city sits near Datang Everbright City. What works for the pool category is a heated indoor pool that's free to use, plus a full gym and a foot-spa room — come back from a long day on your feet and swim or soak your feet before bed — plus the thing guests talk about most: standard rooms from 55 sqm, clearly larger than many five-stars in the city, with many guests upgraded to a suite at check-in. The honest catch: it's in the Yanta district to the south, not by the old town, so the Bell Tower / Muslim Quarter are a ~25–30-minute ride, the hotel opened in 2014 so some furniture is starting to show its age, and consistency can vary by room · details compiled from real reviews on Trip.com.

The indoor pool inside the most-reviewed hotel on the list, right by the Big Wild Goose Pagoda — The Westin Xi'an scores 9.5/10 from around 12,351 real guest reviews. This Marriott wellness five-star is embedded directly in Datang Everbright City. What works for the pool category is an indoor swimming pool, plus a free gym and a spa, and the signature Westin Heavenly Bed that almost every guest calls a genuinely great sleep — swim, then get a long night's rest — alongside a location just 460m from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, walkable, and an in-house art gallery guests visit free. The honest catch: it's in the Yanta district to the south, not by the Bell Tower / Muslim Quarter, so those are a ~20–30-minute metro ride, the hotel opened in 2012 so some furniture is starting to show its age, and the inward-facing rooms don't see the pagoda — specify when you book · details compiled from real reviews on Trip.com.

The heated indoor pool inside a historic flagship in the heart of the old town, walkable to the Bell Tower — Sofitel Legend People's Grand Hotel Xi'an scores 9.6/10 from around 1,170 real guest reviews. The hotel is the 1953 Art-Deco building locals call the "People's Grand Hall," which hosted heads of state for over 70 years. What works for the pool category is a heated indoor swimming pool, plus a spa and a gym, with the swim set inside a historic building in spacious, quiet gardens that feels like a museum you can sleep in — alongside just 71 rooms and suites, each with a private butler, and a location walkable to the Bell Tower / Drum Tower / Muslim Quarter, the only hotel on the pool list genuinely in the heart of the old town. The honest catch: it's the most expensive on the list as a Legend flagship, and the historic-wing rooms feel classic and traditional, which may read as dated to anyone after sharp modern design · details compiled from real reviews on Trip.com.

We close the list with the heated indoor pool inside the hotel with the city's most famous breakfast — Shangri-La Xi'an scores 9.5/10 from around 6,490 real guest reviews. This five-star is in the Gaoxin business district on the west side. What works for the pool category is a heated indoor swimming pool, plus the brand's signature CHI Spa, a 24-hour gym and a kids' club — swim then carry on to CHI Spa, a setup families and anyone after a rest love — alongside the two things guests single out: a breakfast buffet many call the best of the Xi'an hotels, and the attentive Shangri-La-style service. The honest catch: it's in the Gaoxin business district, away from the old town's sights, so it's a 15–20-minute metro ride (though a ~5–9-minute walk to Keji Rd on Line 3), the rooms were renovated in 2018 in a classic style that's well kept but not the newest, and some reviews mention sound between rooms · details compiled from real reviews on Trip.com.
