Best Kaohsiung Hotels With an Indoor Pool

InterContinental Kaohsiung's indoor pool comes with a sauna and steam room and sits inside a hotel with four restaurants and a bakery, so a swim can be followed by dinner without leaving the building, a real advantage on a heavy-rain evening when nobody wants to go back outside. It's 300 metres from Sanduo Shopping District MRT station, keeping the rest of the day's sightseeing within easy reach by transit once the weather clears enough to head back out and explore further afield across the city. Currency exchange at the front desk is a small but genuine convenience on arrival day.

Kaohsiung Marriott Hotel pairs its indoor pool with a hot tub as well as a sauna, and its family-friendly restaurant spans Chinese, French, Japanese and international menus, useful for a family with different tastes after a swim who don't want to negotiate over where to eat. It sits less than a kilometre from Houyi Station, on the Orange line, close enough to walk even with a stroller in tow on a dry evening between activities around the city. Rooms lean spacious by Kaohsiung standards, with bathrobes and minibars included as standard.

Both hotels price at the top of Kaohsiung's family-hotel range, so the indoor pool functions as the trip's splurge amenity rather than a baseline expectation for every night of the stay; choosing between them usually comes down to whether the extra hot tub at the Marriott or InterContinental's four-restaurant dining lineup matters more to how the family actually wants to spend the evening after a day of sightseeing in the heat and humidity outside the hotel. Either one earns the higher rate through daily use, not just photos, since the pool gets used every single afternoon of a typical stay.
