Wuxi Marriott Hotel Lihu Lake
Indoor pool right on the Li Lake shoreline
About this hotel
The Li Lake setting is the property's defining feature, a quieter, smaller stretch of water than the main Lake Tai shoreline near Yuantouzhu, and it shapes the whole stay from the room views down to the pool. The indoor pool stays usable through Wuxi's damp winter, paired with a fitness centre and bar and restaurant on site for evenings without needing to leave the grounds. The airport shuttle option helps for guests flying into Wuxi Shuofang rather than taking the high-speed rail line. Breakfast runs as a paid add-on rather than included, worth checking before booking if it matters to the daily routine. The bar's lakeside terrace becomes the default evening spot for most guests once the weather cooperates, an easy alternative to venturing further into the city.

Our take
This suits travellers who want a genuine lakeside setting without booking directly on the busier Lake Tai shoreline near Yuantouzhu, with an indoor pool that stays usable through the cold months. It works well for a slower business trip or a couple's stay, though guests wanting the biggest restaurant selection or a livelier scene should look toward Taihu New City instead.
- ✓Confirm whether breakfast is included when booking, it runs as a paid extra here rather than standard.
- ✓Ask for a lake-facing room specifically, Li Lake is the property's main draw and not every room angle catches it.
- ✓Book the airport shuttle in advance if flying in, it isn't guaranteed on short notice.
Why we love it

Why guests love itThe Li Lake view from our room set the tone for a genuinely calm three-night stay, quieter than the busier stretch of shoreline near Yuantouzhu we'd read about. The indoor pool was never crowded, and the fitness centre filled the gap on the one morning we skipped the lake walk. Breakfast wasn't included, which caught us slightly off guard on the first morning, so it's worth checking ahead. The bar made for an easy lakeside evening without needing to go anywhere else.
