Holiday Inn Wuhan Tianhe Airport by IHG
Indoor pool and a 20-minute run to Wuhan Tianhe
About this hotel
The pool is the reason to choose this hotel over Xiaogan's downtown options, and it stays open through the cold, damp winter months when an outdoor bassin elsewhere in the city would likely be drained for the season. Days built around a Wuhan Tianhe connection tend to run early or late, a quick swim before a flight or after a taxi ride in from the airport, rather than a full afternoon poolside. The 4-star rating and the amenity list, breakfast, free Wi-Fi, parking, air conditioning, a restaurant and room service, point to a property built for practical comfort rather than resort extras. Full-service laundry and a business center round things out for guests mid-trip rather than on holiday. There is no spa or jacuzzi listed alongside the pool, so travelers wanting a wellness wing should look further into central Wuhan instead.

Our take
I would book the Holiday Inn Wuhan Tianhe Airport for an early flight or a layover rather than for sightseeing. The heated indoor pool is a welcome way to stretch your legs between flights, and the restaurant, free Wi-Fi and on-site parking cover the basics. The main sights of Wuhan are a long ride away, and the score of 10 comes from only three reviews.
- ✓Time your swim around your flight, the 20-minute taxi ride to Wuhan Tianhe makes an early or late dip easy to fit in.
- ✓Confirm pool hours directly with the front desk rather than assuming resort-style access throughout the day.
- ✓Skip this one if you want a spa or jacuzzi attached, neither is listed alongside the indoor pool here.
Why we love it
- An indoor pool that runs through Xiaogan's cold winters

- Free Wi-Fi and air conditioning throughout the rooms
- A business center built for mid-trip guests
Why guests love itA guest routing through Wuhan Tianhe Airport on a winter trip found the indoor pool the most useful amenity, not the biggest one. Xiaogan's damp cold made an evening swim after a day of meetings feel worth the short taxi ride from the terminal, and the pool's enclosed setup kept it open on schedule rather than closing for the season, unlike an outdoor option elsewhere in the city. The business center mattered more than any spa would have on a trip built around transit, not leisure.
