Ningbo Hotels with Infinity Pools

"As one of the most important economic hubs in Zhejiang and even East China, Ningbo doesn't lack high-end hotels (though luxury brands are a bit scarce). However, currently, the existing luxury hotels are relatively old (Park Hyatt, Marriott, Westin, Shangri-La, voco (formerly InterContinental)), while new luxury hotels are still under construction (Ritz-Carlton, the W-shaped Indigo). Therefore, during this transitional period, the Indigo Ningbo Culture & Creative Port, which opened in 2024, is one of the few luxury hotels in the Ningbo market that can truly represent the city. On my return visit to this young, stylish, and dynamic Indigo, I experienced a comprehensive upgrade in both service and dining. As a personal example, on Friday, I had dinner at Yunwei on the second floor of the hotel. Since my family wasn't arriving until past 11 PM, and the restaurant closes at 9 PM, I thought I'd try asking the restaurant manager if they could pack up some dishes for me and heat them up to be delivered to my room when my family arrived. To my surprise, the restaurant was willing to help (the hotel doesn't offer 24-hour room service) and delivered the heated dishes right on time. The moment we received the steaming hot food, my family and I were deeply moved. This is what it feels like to be treated like family, truly feeling at home, and we experienced it at the Indigo Ningbo Culture & Creative Port. Special thanks again to the hotel management and operations teams, including the staff whose names I remember and those I don't: Hotel Manager Cindy, Front Office Manager Kevin, Guest Service Manager Ruby, Duty Manager Vivian, Yunwei Restaurant Manager Jerry, Supervisors Acia and Dick, staff members Piko and Frank, and Arashi Lounge bartender Eric, among others. I definitely have to come back to Indigo Ningbo Culture & Creative Port!"

"The hotel has a fantastic and scenic view on the Dongqian Lake and is offering all service to just stay there and enjoy. The gym and the indoor pool area are amazing. The rental bikes at the hotel are high quality. The service is super friendly and was always helpful. Thank you."

"The price-performance ratio is a bit poor, there is no breakfast, the room is small, and the 40㎡ body feels about 30. The facilities are also average, the shower heads are all directed at the wall, the hair dryer will fall down when picked up (see video), and the pillows have no support. In addition, the room smells musty, and you have to call room service to open and close the window. Sound insulation is another big problem. As long as the neighbor uses water, the whole room will buzz... It feels like the water heater is installed in our room 😂 Finally, when checking in, the front desk conducted reverse expectation management. I booked a luxury king bed, and told me that they helped us upgrade to a stylish king bed. I searched and found that it was 50㎡. As a result, I went out to play and came back to open the door. It was a room that was smaller than the 40 square meters. Why did I increase my psychological gap for no reason 😂 Is it a management problem or a credibility problem? The rooms in Ctrip's pictures are all large, but they are actually very small, not luxurious at all. The swimming pool is about 25*10 meters. After dinner, adults and children came up and couldn't swim well."

"The hotel is in the 5A-level scenic spot, the nearest 5A to home. Short-distance travel always feels almost meaningless, so I decided to stay in the scenic spot for two nights and find a sense of ritual. The hotel has a superior environment. On the mountainside of Xuedou Mountain, one step away from Qianzhang Rock and Xuedou Temple. The typhoon happened to come on the day of check-in. The black lights touched the hotel. The air had a faint fragrance of grass and ozone, which was very fresh. Awakening under the white noise of the wind and rain, it was amazing, the yard was unique, and it could be seen that the boss spent a lot of energy decorating and repairing. We have no special plans. The front desk Xiao Huang was warm and thoughtful and gave travel advice. We went up the mountain in the morning and had lunch at the hotel at noon. The chef’s green onion river carp was very good. The soup was all eaten. In the afternoon, I slept for the highest quality nap this year, and then continued to go shopping. I went to Xikou Town in the evening and experienced the cold drinks that Fenghua people were extremely addicted to. The next day I went to the mountain to hang out. I was very comfortable and enjoyed a trip."

"The rooms are nestled right in the forest. The temperature on the mountain is indeed much cooler than down below, making the mornings and evenings particularly refreshing. Breakfast was quite varied and met our basic needs. The main downside is the lack of commercial facilities nearby. The only restaurant around was overpriced with extremely small portions, though thankfully one dish we ordered was actually quite tasty. This place is only suitable for short stays, not ideal for a longer vacation or a summer retreat. We heard that its popularity has significantly declined since it first opened, and the management really needs to reflect on their approach. On the plus side, our butler was excellent; they proactively informed us when our room was ready and even provided helpful tips on the best way to explore Xuedou Mountain."

"A treasure homestay in Xuedou Mountain, Ningbo, worth recommending. It feels like home after a trip. The flowers and plants in the yard are in full bloom. It is very pleasant to relax in the recliner while looking at the green mountains and white clouds. The bedding is clean and comfortable, the food is delicious, and the proprietress is also very attentive to the guests. I stayed for two nights and still felt satisfied."

"I booked the Seclusive Life resort for a 2 night weekend getaway while I am working in Zhejiang. It was a beautiful, relaxing experience. The mountains were so lush and green. The best part of the resort was the staff. Everyone was so helpful. I do not speak Chinese but we were able to communicate via WeChat very easily. The staff really went above and beyond to make my experience comfortable. The food in the restaurant was very good. I ordered my meals a day in advance and the staff sent me a message when my food was prepared. I enjoyed the pool that is filled with cold mountain water. I did some hiking starting at the resort and really enjoyed the mountain scenery. Unfortunately the tub did not work in my room and there was a lot of mold in the shower but I think that is unavoidable in this humid climate. At the end of my stay the staff was about to help me arrange a driver to Xeudou Temple and Zhongcun Scenic area. I highly recommend this place for a relaxed, stress free getaway. One note, there are a lot of stairs (193 to my room) to get to the cabins so anyone with mobility issues will need to be sure to reserve a room they can reach. Again, ***** for the staff. Super."

"Liputian B&B, this homestay is really a touch of warmth and bright color during my journey, which makes people happy when they step in. The enthusiasm and care of the housekeeper is reflected in every detail. The location is excellent, quiet in the middle of noisy, and you can enjoy a moment of tranquility and comfort. As soon as I entered the room, I was attracted by its warm and elegant layout. The rooms are spacious and bright, with excellent lighting, and every decoration reveals the taste and intention of the owner. The bedding is soft and comfortable, making people sleep well all night, as if they are on the cloud. Wake up in the morning, open the window is full of greenery, and the mood will be bright. Next time you come to Fenghua for leisure, you must choose Li Putian!"

"The family of four stayed for three days. There was a small problem in the middle. The hotel front desk ran around and the boss did it personally. It made me see the rapid progress of China's hotel service industry. With such employees and bosses, plus the hardware investment of 150 million US dollars, the hotel is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is a lot of room for development 😁"

"Environment: The location is surrounded by mountains in Fenghuangling. The driver said that the mountain road is a bit winding, but it is worth the detour when you arrive at the destination. Hygiene: Star hotel standard, very clean Facilities: A newly opened hotel, everything you need. Coffee machine, dehumidifier, small refrigerator, washlet, large bathtub, the room is large and comfortable. Service: 💯 You can feel that the hotel service is done with heart. The front desk, cleaning, and shuttle drivers all greet you with a smile and respond to your requests🫰🏻 The only regret is that the weather is not good. It was cold and windy when camping on the top of the mountain. I will make up for it next time⛰️"
