DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Wuxi
Indoor pool and hot tub with an art gallery on site
About this hotel
The pool and hot tub sit at the centre of the wellness floor here, kept indoors so a swim stays usable through Wuxi's grey winter months rather than only in the warmer half of the year. The art gallery is an unusual addition for a hotel at this price point, giving guests something to browse between the pool and the gym rather than a bare corridor. Tennis courts round out the active side of the property, useful for a longer business stay that wants more than a treadmill. Rooms are sleek and contemporary, and the on-site restaurant and bar cover most evenings without needing to leave the building. The location keeps a short drive from Wuxi's main rail links, useful for guests splitting the stay between meetings and a lake-district day trip.
- Indoor heated pool
- Hot tub
- Art gallery
- Tennis courts
Our take
This suits business travellers and couples who want a reliable indoor pool and hot tub without paying five-star lakefront rates, plus the rare bonus of an art gallery and tennis courts on site. Families after a lively pool deck with other children around should look at the more resort-style properties near Yuantouzhu instead, since the mood here reads corporate rather than playful.
- ✓Book a room away from the tennis courts if a quiet night matters more than a view of them.
- ✓Use the indoor pool in the evening after the gym closes, it tends to be quieter than the morning slot.
- ✓Ask at check-in about art gallery opening hours, it isn't staffed round the clock like the pool is.

Why guests love itThe pool and hot tub were the easiest part of a five-night stay here, warm enough to use every evening once the meetings wrapped up. The art gallery on the ground floor was a genuine surprise, worth a slow walk-through rather than a corridor to rush past. Tennis courts sat mostly empty on weekday afternoons, which made booking a slot simple. Breakfast covered the basics well without being memorable, and the airport shuttle option saved a taxi search on the last morning.
