Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Baotou
Choosing the right airport for your trip to Baotou depends heavily on whether you prioritize proximity or route availability. The city is home to Baotou Donghe International Airport (BAV), which is the only airport within the city limits and the most convenient for direct arrival, offering simple taxi or bus access. For travelers coming from afar, Hohhot Baita International Airport (HET) serves as the major regional administrative hub and is a common alternative due to its high-speed rail link to Baotou. Other neighboring airports such as Ordos Ejin Horo International Airport (DSN), Bayannur Tianjitai Airport (RLK), and the remote Urad Middle Banner Airport (WZQ) are located in neighboring cities and primarily serve their own regional catchments. These non-local airports generally require a combination of shuttle, intercity train, or long-distance taxi to complete your journey. We recommend arriving at Baotou Donghe International Airport (BAV) whenever possible to minimize transfer times. If you must fly into a nearby city, check the high-speed rail schedules from Hohhot first, as it remains the most reliable and efficient way to bridge the distance.

Qingshan Wanda Plaza/Worker's Cultural Palace Baotou|0.34km from city center
Traveling with family, we booked a suite and it was incredibly spacious, with two bathrooms which was very convenient. There was also a separate living area. Although it's an older five-star hotel (some prefer modern design, but I lean towards classic styles), the facilities are still very well-maintained and up-to-date. The service was exceptional, from the doorman at the entrance, to the front desk during check-in, and even at the restaurant – everyone provided warm and enthusiastic service. Because the Executive Lounge was undergoing renovations, the hotel generously upgraded the Executive benefits to a buffet dinner, which was a very classy move. The restaurant service was excellent, and the variety of food was impressive. A special thank you to Assistant Director Song from the F&B department for their warm and thoughtful service. Also, a shout-out to the chef who makes the shumai for breakfast – it was delicious! And the Inner Mongolian milk tea was fantastic!FromUS$71

Qingshan Wangfujing/Jiuxing Baotou|2.54km from city center
Nestled within a park, the hotel boasts classic state guesthouse amenities. A jogging trail encircles the hotel, shaded by lush trees, and the island in the lake is home to ducks, geese, turkeys, and peacocks—the environment is truly exceptional. Parking in front of the main building is somewhat limited; returning late requires finding alternative street parking within the park.
The guest rooms feature a simple and elegant modern Chinese style. All facilities are well-maintained. The bathroom has a separate shower and toilet, and a smart toilet, although the bathtub is a bit small.
The breakfast selection is decent, including local specialty savory milk tea and freshly made lamb shumai. While there weren't many guests during the 9:30 am peak time, several empty trays in the bakery area remained unrefilled for a long time.FromUS$63

Solid hotel close to many good restaurants. Very spacious rooms. Just a 7 min taxi ride to the Baotou museum. The breakfast was fantastic. Really fantastic!
The staff was friendly, and tried to help me organize an excursion to the Kubiqi desert. Unfortunately they messed that up (but then apologies profusely and gave me some gifts instead). Note to future tourists: Just take a Didi to the desert. Don’t bother about the bus.FromUS$29

The hotel room is large. Although the temperature in the north is relatively low, the sunny room provided by the front desk is still very warm. The breakfast is rich in variety. If you want to eat some fried noodles, the waiter will cook them freshly. After you finish, you will ask if you need more. I added a bowl and my friend ordered lunch here for convenience. It tasted good and I was very happy.FromUS$24

The facilities in the hotel rooms are advanced and practical, and the hygiene is very good. The hotel restaurant offers a wide variety of food with authentic taste.

Notrheast Baotou Area/Usoto National Forest Park Baotou|6.57km from city center
The front desk staff was warm and patient, the check-in efficiency was very high, and they also took the initiative to remind the breakfast time and the surrounding travel route. There is any small demand in the room, and the front desk can respond quickly and solve it in time, and the attitude is particularly gentle. The cleaning aunt cleaned meticulously, even the corners were handled very cleanly, and the items were carefully sorted. From check-in to check-out, you can feel the service of heart, caring and warm heart. The details are full and the living is particularly comfortable. I will choose this one here later, highly recommended!FromUS$24

Good quality business hotel.
Stayed in a premium room on the 10th floor with a lot of space and a great view.
Shower had low water pressure and heat. Bathroom floor had spots all over it, appearing like it hadn't been cleaned. Carpets were not vacuumed daily.
As a traveller from Australia, I would have appreciated black instant coffee sachets in the room, like Nescafe. The only coffee available in the hotel was a premixed coffee/creamer/sugar powder which was not to my taste. There is a good bakery nearby that serves decent espresso coffee.
The daily fruit and milk was greatly appreciated!
The hotel was generally very well decorated and felt quite premium.FromUS$39

After reading the reviews, I found that the hotel not only has a lot of good reviews, but also seriously addresses the issues mentioned in the negative reviews. Hygiene, quietness, and space are my primary considerations. The hotel is very clean overall. The details of the corners and mirrors in the room are cleaned very carefully; most importantly, the bathroom has no odor, the bedding feels very new, and no hair or stains are found.FromUS$44

This time, my spouse and I were traveling in Inner Mongolia, and we had the pleasure of staying one night at the Baotou Shimao Hotel, moving from Hohhot to Baotou. We were very impressed with their facilities, cleanliness, and service. In particular, their breakfast truly showcased the main specialties of Inner Mongolia, with a wide variety of items like shaomai, milk tea, and lamb offal soup, all of which tasted excellent. To receive such great service at this price point means the value for money is outstanding. Finally, I'd like to commend the staff; everyone, from the restaurant to the front desk, was very dedicated.FromUS$33
