Wyndham Grand Yichang Riverside
Indoor pool with a view, hot tub and steam room
About this hotel
The wellness floor here goes further than most in Yichang: an indoor pool with a view sits alongside a separate hot tub and steam room, plus its own fitness room, giving guests a full sequence rather than a single water feature. Rooms are described around landmark views in keeping with the Riverside name, and the family-friendly restaurant covers Chinese, British, French and American cuisine across brunch, lunch and dinner. Free on-site parking and a tour desk support guests arranging Three Gorges Dam excursions directly through the hotel. Sitting roughly twenty kilometres from Yichang Sanxia Airport, it works as well for air arrivals as for guests connecting through the city by rail.

Our take
This suits a traveller after the fullest wellness sequence among Yichang's pool hotels, pool, hot tub and steam room in one place, and the high guest score backs that up despite a modest review count. The tour desk and view-oriented rooms make it a strong base for a Three Gorges Dam itinerary planned directly through the property. Anyone whose priority is minimum distance to the railway station rather than the airport, or a lower price tier, should compare it against the business-district options before booking.
- ✓Book through the on-site tour desk if arranging a Three Gorges Dam excursion, since it is set up for exactly that kind of trip.
- ✓Use the steam room after a full day out; it is a genuine addition on top of the hot tub, not standard across Yichang's other pool hotels.
- ✓Check flight timing against the roughly twenty-kilometre distance from Yichang Sanxia Airport if arriving by air rather than rail.

Why guests love itThe pool-hot tub-steam room sequence became our evening routine after two long days out on the water, and it felt different from the single-hot-tub setups at other hotels in the city. Booking our dam excursion through the on-site tour desk saved us the hassle of arranging it separately, and the room view lived up to the listing. It sits a fair distance from the railway station, so this made more sense flying in through the airport than for a rail-based itinerary.
