Hotels with Pools in Kunming

We stayed at Kunming PAPMAN Hotel Wanda for our first night in Kunming, and honestly, it was by far the best hotel of our entire stay. We only stayed for one night and didn’t have a chance to explore the surrounding area, but the hotel itself was exceptional. The hotel occupies two floors within a larger building, so there isn’t direct access to the hotel lobby from the ground floor. However, the hotel contacted us in advance with clear instructions on where to meet them at the car park. The staff came down to meet us, helped with all our luggage and brought us up to the lobby. This could have been an inconvenience, but the level of service completely made up for it. The staff were incredibly attentive, warm and genuinely went above and beyond from the moment we arrived. The hotel itself is beautifully designed. Every corner was thoughtfully decorated and incredibly photogenic, and the overall aesthetic was stylish without compromising on comfort. Even our room was beautifully designed, comfortable and very well equipped, with lots of thoughtful amenities included. The views from the hotel were also lovely. Unfortunately, it was raining during our stay, so we didn’t get to properly enjoy or photograph the rooftop pool, which was a little disappointing — but it gives us another reason to come back! One of our favourite additions was the photoshoot. The hotel was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to arrange a much earlier photoshoot slot because we were short on time. The experience was so good that we ended up purchasing additional photos beyond the three included with our room. It was such a fun and memorable experience. Our room rate also included afternoon tea, although we arrived at night and unfortunately didn’t have the opportunity to try it. However, supper was included and was honestly one of the highlights. It was a combination of semi-buffet and made-to-order dishes, with a surprisingly good variety. Everything we tried was delicious, and there was more than enough food. It was such a nice and unexpected inclusion, especially after travelling all day. We were also celebrating our child’s birthday during our stay, and the hotel had thoughtfully prepared a birthday cake and a little present for him in advance. It was such a sweet and thoughtful touch, and really made us feel welcomed and looked after❤️ Overall, we were genuinely impressed by this hotel. From the beautiful design and comfortable rooms to the incredible service, thoughtful inclusions, photoshoot and birthday surprise, everything felt very well thought out. The service in particular really stood out — the staff were attentive, friendly and incredibly helpful throughout our short stay. We only stayed one night and didn’t leave the hotel during our stay, so unfortunately we can’t comment much on the surrounding area or its convenience for exploring Kunming. But based purely on our experience at the hotel, we would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Traveling with seniors and children, our stay was excellent. The room was spacious and clean, and the bathroom had good non-slip features. The front desk staff was very thoughtful, even providing amenities for children. A special thank you to Manager Sun at the front desk. The hotel's location is convenient, close to the airport, making it easy to get around and find food. It was quiet at night, ensuring a peaceful stay for the whole family. It's very suitable for family trips.

This is the second time I’ve booked this hotel and also the second time I’m impressed with the hotel service. I’ve touched down Kunming too early and since I’m tired from late night flight, I head straight to the hotel after I’ve landed although I understand check in cannot be so early. The concierge was nice to allow me and my partner to enjoy breakfast (we booked stay with breakfast) while waiting for guests to check out as their hotel was fully booked. Right after our breakfast, the concierge saw us and quickly chased up the cleaning staff to tidy up the room asap so guests can check in earlier. I appreciate their thoughtfulness in this and was lucky to check in in the morning although the stated check-in time is 2pm. I also appreciate the cleaning staff attentiveness to us as we prefer the room to be clean up every 2 days instead of daily. (We book 4 nights there). She keeps checking in with us as she is worried we run out of drinking water, tissue paper, toilet roll and clean towel almost every morning. On our last day, we came back to our room around late afternoon and she thoughtfully hang a laundry bag filled with drinking water bottles and even new pack of tissue on our door. (We leave do not disturb button on while we went out.) The hotel staff at lobby was also very attentive when we get out of Didi outside in the rain, he runs towards us with umbrella to shield us from rain. I also enjoy hotel breakfast very much as I arrived in Kunming with weak stomach and needed non spicy and easy food to ingest. They provided a great range of food that suits foreigners, children and even sick adults like me. Thank you Dianyu Yunling, I know I can trust this hotel’s service level and will return to this hotel again for my next Kunming trip!

The hotel upgraded our room type, which was very comfortable overall. Located on a high floor in Kunming city center, the hotel offers excellent views. It also has direct access to Hang Lung Plaza, making shopping very convenient. The only thing I would mention is that the front desk didn't inform us about the complimentary shopping mall vouchers during check-in. I only found out later through the platform and had to go back to inquire and collect them. Other facilities are beautiful and well-curated. The room was cleaned thoroughly, and they provided plenty of bottled water, which I really appreciated. The turndown service was also good. My suggestions for improvement would be that the conditioner was not moisturizing enough, and the eye mask was a bit tight on the ears. The breakfast selection was rich and everything tasted delicious. The only thing I need to point out is that on the first day, the female attendant who led us to our table seemed visibly annoyed because we took a few minutes to choose our seats instead of sitting down immediately. She also didn't offer us any drinks. I only realized later that we could order tea or coffee when I saw another staff member taking orders from newly arrived guests. When I asked her about it, she was clearly unhappy and just said, 'Order now.' This really put a damper on the experience. The male staff member we encountered on the second day, however, was excellent with great service and attitude. Therefore, the hotel should definitely strengthen its training to improve the overall quality of service and ensure consistency.

This garden hotel is absolutely stunning! The garden is like a huge energy field; a walk through it every evening recharges you. A big thank you to the lovely front desk lady who arranged a beautiful room with a direct view of the garden – it was so refreshing to open the window each day. The swimming pool is also fantastic! It's deep and spacious, with excellent water quality, making for a truly enjoyable swim. The room was cleaned promptly, and the housekeepers thoughtfully left four bottles of water, all neatly arranged! I was able to add the butler on WeChat, and during my five-night stay, I received fruit for three days, and two cans of coffee as a farewell gift! Our room rate included breakfast and dinner, and for all five nights, the food at the restaurant was consistently excellent! The Yunnan local dishes, in particular, were so delicious they almost brought tears to my eyes! The rice noodles were incredible, with four different types of toppings! I had rice noodles for both breakfast and dinner! The fruit selection was also abundant, with seven or eight varieties. I especially loved their freshly squeezed juices, particularly the cucumber juice. And they have an Indian chef whose flying bread and curry are simply divine! The location is superb! A short walk through Haigeng Hall leads you directly to Haigeng Dam, making it incredibly convenient to see the seagulls! Xishan and Haihong Wetland are also not far, perfect for a leisurely stroll. I hope to stay at InterContinental Hotel again on my next visit to Dianchi Lake. The quality and service far exceeded my expectations!

I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. I was quite hesitant before choosing it, especially after reading about the negative elevator incident, which made me really worry about safety. So, every time I took the elevator during my stay, I was on edge. The main reason I decided to stay was for the hot springs and swimming pool, as it's been raining a lot in Kunming recently, and I figured we'd just enjoy the hotel. Honestly, I wasn't particularly impressed with the service, and the facilities are quite old, very old. If it weren't for the constant rain and traveling with a child, I probably wouldn't have chosen this hotel. Especially after visiting Fuxian Lake, the comparison really highlighted its shortcomings.

I stayed at the Sofitel in Kunming and had a truly excellent overall experience. The hotel has a strong French ambiance, and the lobby looks grand and elegant. It's located right in the city center, making it super convenient for getting around, dining, and shopping. The room was spotlessly clean, the city view from the floor-to-ceiling windows was fantastic, and the bed was soft and comfortable. The soundproofing was also great, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. All the staff were very friendly and always willing to help with any issues. Mia's warm service definitely deserves full marks! The breakfast offered a wide selection, including authentic Yunnan snacks. It’s perfect whether you're traveling for leisure or on a business trip. I had a very pleasant stay this time and will definitely choose this hotel again when I return to Kunming.

We love this hotel, despite some shortcomings. The location and facilities are beautiful and the food is teallly good. The restaurant service for some reason is dramatically chaotic, but we’ve gotten used to it. We had some inconsiderate guests in the room next to us who brought an entire barbecue set onto their balcony, stinking up our balcony and room. Sam was quick to move us to another room and was very apologetic. Hé is a true saving grace in this hotel. The recreation staff has also been very helpful and we had a lovely kayaking experience.

I absolutely recommend this B&B to everyone. The cleanliness is amazing, even a mysophobe like me can lie down in bed with confidence. The small courtyard is cozy and inviting, making me feel like I'm right at home all the time. [Proud] The B&B also has a big surprise: a heated swimming pool with clean water. The kids loved it. [Celebration][Fireworks][Wow] After swimming, you can enjoy a sauna in the steam room. There's also a piano and a gym, catering to everyone. The host is very welcoming and thoughtful, recommending nearby attractions and restaurants. [Loving] This B&B not only made me feel like home away from home, but also gave me a sense of warmth and peace of mind.

This hotel was the best one during our entire Yunnan trip. The room wasn't huge, but it was very well-designed and matched the price perfectly. One thing that was really important for me as a mom was that there was no carpet in the room. The staff were incredibly enthusiastic and responsible; you could tell they operate with high standards. The lifeguard was constantly patrolling around the pool, and the front desk staff were also very attentive. The gym's front desk person was responsible and proactive. After my 8-year-old son went for a swim, he went to the men's changing room by himself to shower. When I went to the front desk to ask, I realized the exit for the men's changing room wasn't in the direction we entered the pool area. I was a bit worried, and a staff member immediately went to find my son for me. When they saw me fumbling to help my son change, they quickly took his swimsuit to spin-dry it and pack it up for us. When we were leaving, the concierge, who was quite far away, actually jogged over to help us with our luggage.
