Wuhan’s hotel scene covers everything from US$20 capsule hotels to US$200 five-star international chains. Your choice of neighbourhood matters more than your choice of hotel, the three towns spread along the rivers mean you’ll spend time on the metro no matter where you stay. This guide breaks down the best areas and specific hotels for every budget.
Where to Stay in Wuhan: Hankou (Best for Nightlife and Dining)
Hankou has the highest concentration of international hotels, the most restaurant choices, and the best nightlife. Stay near Jianghan Road or the Hankou Bund if you want to walk to bars and restaurants. The airport metro Line 2 runs directly through Hankou, making it the most convenient area for late arrivals or early departures. Hotel prices average US$60 to 120 for 4-star international chains.
