Wanda Vista Hohhot
The indoor pool hotel that puts the Inner Mongolia Museum on foot
About this hotel
Walking distance to a real landmark is rare enough among Hohhot's indoor-pool hotels that it is worth leading with: the Inner Mongolia Museum is seven minutes away on foot, which turns a museum morning into an actual stroll rather than a taxi booking. The pool itself is a standard indoor one, no hot tub attached, best treated as a way to unwind after walking the museum's halls or after a day of meetings. An airport shuttle and free parking make arrival easy, and the bar downstairs gives the evening somewhere to go once the pool closes. Full-service laundry and a business center round out a property clearly built to handle both a museum weekend and a working trip without compromise on either.

Our take
Wanda Vista is the pick for anyone planning to spend real time at the Inner Mongolia Museum, since the walk home afterward takes minutes rather than a taxi ride. The pool rewards an evening swim once sightseeing is done, though it is plain rather than a destination in its own right. Couples and solo travelers who value walkability will get the most from the location. Guests specifically wanting a hot tub alongside the pool should book Shangri-La or Sheraton instead, both a short ride away.
- ✓Walk to the Inner Mongolia Museum early in the morning, before the galleries fill up with visitors.
- ✓Use the hotel's airport shuttle rather than a taxi to skip arranging your own transport on arrival.
- ✓Have a drink at the bar after your swim instead of heading straight back up to the room.
Why we love it
- Seven-minute walk to the Inner Mongolia Museum

Why guests love itWe chose Wanda Vista purely for the walk to the Inner Mongolia Museum, and it delivered exactly that: out the door and inside the galleries in under ten minutes, no taxi involved. The indoor pool was a quiet way to end each day rather than a highlight in itself, just a lane or two of calm water with no bar or loungers attached. The airport shuttle on arrival saved us from negotiating a taxi after a long flight.
