Hotel Indigo Ningbo Riverside by IHG
A genuinely rare infinity pool by the river
About this hotel
Hotel Indigo's standout is an infinity swimming pool, an uncommon feature among Ningbo's business hotels, run alongside a separate indoor pool and a fitness centre with sun terrace access. Family rooms come with modern amenities including free WiFi, TV and air-conditioning as standard, plus a 24-hour front desk and concierge service for guests arriving at odd hours. The restaurant covers brunch, lunch, dinner, high tea and cocktails across seafood, steakhouse, local, Asian, international and European cuisines. The hotel sits a short walk from Moon Lake Park and close to Tianyi Pavilion and Ningbo Railway Station, roughly 14 kilometres from Ningbo Lishe International Airport. Couples rated the location highly for a two-person trip in recent reviews of the property.
- Infinity swimming pool
- Indoor swimming pool
- Near Moon Lake Park
- Wide-ranging restaurant menu
Our take
This suits travelers who want a genuinely striking pool, the infinity edge is rare in this city, paired with a walkable riverside location near Moon Lake Park. Guests focused on a full spa treatment menu should look at the Westin or Shangri-La instead, since Hotel Indigo's wellness offer stops at the pools and fitness centre rather than extending to massage or steam rooms.
- ✓Time a swim for late afternoon light if the infinity pool's view is part of the appeal.
- ✓Walk to Moon Lake Park from the hotel rather than booking a taxi for the short distance.
- ✓Book a table for high tea if visiting outside a standard meal window, given the wider dining hours.
Why we love it
- A genuinely rare infinity swimming pool
- Separate indoor pool and fitness centre
- Short walk to Moon Lake Park
- Wide dining hours through high tea
Why guests love itThe infinity pool was the reason to book this over another downtown Ningbo hotel, and it earned that reputation on the first evening swim with the riverside view stretching out past the edge. Walking to Moon Lake Park the next morning before breakfast, then coming back for the restaurant's wider-than-usual high tea window, made the stay feel less rigidly scheduled than a typical business trip through the city.
