Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Yichang
For the vast majority of travelers, Yichang Sanxia International Airport (YIH) is the only practical gateway located within the city itself. It provides the most efficient access to downtown via airport shuttle or taxi. All other listed options are located in neighboring cities and require significant ground travel to reach Yichang. Shashi Airport (SHS), located in Jingzhou, serves as a secondary regional hub with decent high-speed rail connections, making it a viable alternative if flight schedules are favorable. Enshi Xujiaping International Airport (ENH), while further away, also benefits from excellent rail connectivity. Conversely, Chongqing Wushan Airport (WSK) and Zhangjiajie Hehua International Airport (DYG) are significantly more distant, primarily catering to tourists visiting those specific scenic areas. Travelers should prioritize the local airport unless specific flight availability or major cost savings necessitate using one of the regional alternatives, which often involve much longer transit times.

CBD Shopping Center/Jiefang Pedestrian Street Yichang|0.7km from city center
This hotel is incredibly convenient. It's just a ten-minute walk to Binjiang Park where you can enjoy the river breeze, and it's also close to the CBD for food and snacks. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was super comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The front desk staff were patient and enthusiastic; they even proactively packed breakfast for us when we had to leave early in the morning. These little details really made us feel cared for. We'll definitely stay here again next time we're in Yichang.FromUS$29

This stay exceeded my expectations! The hotel is located in a prime location in the city center, about a 12-minute walk from the shopping center and a 15-minute taxi ride from the Three Gorges Visitor Center. Transportation is super convenient. The rooms are clean and tidy, the bedding is changed daily, and the service is attentive—the front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, and the ladies at the front desk, Shenshen Watermelon and Orange, are both very nice. Breakfast was provided upon check-in. The hotel is very cost-effective, and the details are well-detailed, including disposable towels and slippers, all individually packaged. Mineral water was provided upon check-out. Whether traveling for business or pleasure, this hotel would be my first choice. I highly recommend Licheng.FromUS$22

I came to Yichang to run some business and found this hotel online. It's in a great location right in the city center, making it very convenient for getting around, so I chose it. Most importantly, the hotel has parking, so I didn't have to look for a parking spot, which was great. The hotel room was nice, with complete facilities and amenities. The bed was also quite comfortable. The only downside was the slightly poor soundproofing.FromUS$18

Traveling to Yichang by car, I was very satisfied with the hotel I chose, so I'd like to share a few thoughts. First off, there's free parking, and the hotel has 3 fast charging stations right on the ground level. With a total of four floors of parking, both above and underground, there are plenty of spaces, which is super convenient. The room itself is very spacious and has a window for ventilation. They provide complimentary bottled water and drinks daily. The bathtub even comes with free disposable tub liners and bath salts, and the toilet has disposable seat covers. They've truly thought of every little detail for a comfortable stay!FromUS$42

The hotel has convenient parking and a good location. The hotel is in the center of the city, with several large shopping malls on both sides. The front desk staff was very friendly. They upgraded our room based on our two-day reservation. They also delivered fruits, snacks and sweet soup to the room every afternoon, and they were different every day, which was very considerate.FromUS$24

挺好的，這次大年初四從湖北恩施州來鳳縣返回十堰市，途徑宜昌時訂了這家親子酒店，一路上遇到堵車，晚上很晚才到酒店，這家酒店有幾個最大優點，點評一下：
1.床、被子、枕頭。都很舒服，枕頭比較軟，被子厚薄合適。晚上睡得很好，酒店周邊很安靜。
2.價格。這次訂了親子套房，本來價格不貴，加上我是鉑金會員，可以用積分當現金用，最後價格合下來才249元一晚，性價比超高了。
3.早餐。親子套房自帶2份早餐，小童加早餐25一人，早餐基本品種都有，春節期間外面幾乎沒有吃的，在酒店吃就很方便。
4.親子（房間）設施。馬桶帶有小童座椅，挺人性化。酒店送的親子洗漱用品也很不錯，都是小份便攜裝的。親子套房有一張1.8米、一張1米的床，我們家兩成人、兩小孩，就需要這種搭配，房間裏面還有小帳篷、小童玩偶、一個沙發，沙發我們晚上是放在床邊靠着的，怕孩子從床上掉下來，起到防護作用。房間內及酒店大廳還有免費零食，這也是之前網友評價過的。
5.停車。就在負一樓車庫，電梯直達房間，前台登記免停車費。
總之，這家酒店各方面都挺人性化的，性價比也很高，網上之前的評價是非常客觀的，值得推薦！FromUS$44

Wanda Plaza/Three Gorges Visitor Center Yichang|2km from city center
My parents, kids, and I went on a trip to the Three Gorges, and we chose the Shuiyunlan Hotel because it's very close to the tourist center. We booked a river-view room and a family room for 4 nights, including breakfast. The hotel staff thoughtfully arranged for us to be on the same floor, in connecting rooms 1206 and 1207. The breakfast was plentiful, with different dishes each day, and my family was very satisfied.
Special thanks to housekeeper Gao Yan. She noticed our wet clothes weren't drying easily and thoughtfully provided a drying rack, even hanging the wet clothes in a ventilated spot by the window 🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Our child's Mi Band went missing, and she also helped us find it 🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
And a big thank you to Front Desk staff member #1. When we checked out, we mentioned we had three children, and they kindly gave us three souvenir gifts. The kids were thrilled 🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
The whole family had a wonderful stay and a great trip! Wishing Shuiyunlan Hotel prosperity and overflowing wealth! 🥰🥰🥰FromUS$35

Wanda Plaza/Three Gorges Visitor Center Yichang|3.27km from city center
I was very satisfied with this high-rise hotel overall. The location is super convenient; just downstairs there's a riverside walk, and it's about a ten-minute bike ride to Wanda Plaza and the Tourist Center. The room was clean and tidy, with no dust or odd smells, which made for a reassuring stay. The facilities were complete and well-maintained: the kettle, charging ports, and Wi-Fi all worked great, and there was plenty of hot water for showers. The environment was spacious and comfortable, with expansive river views from high up. Watching boats during the day and lights at night was lovely and never felt cramped. It was a hassle-free and pleasant stay.FromUS$35

Come to Taohualing Hotel for vacation during the May Day holiday, the experience is perfect! The environment here is quiet and pleasant. When you open the window, you can see green everywhere. It feels like you are in a natural oxygen bar, which makes you relax instantly. What is even more surprising is the super thoughtful service. Li Ying from the lobby is enthusiastic and patient. She helped me solve various problems and contacted the mail in time for the leftover items. Dai Jinyan from the front desk checked me in efficiently and gently. Lu Jianjun from the housekeeping department provided meticulous service and thoughtfully prepared welcome fruits. From check-in to check-out, every detail makes people feel warm, highly recommended!FromUS$44

Yichang East Station/Wuyi Plaza Yichang|8.82km from city center
The hotel's location is fantastic, right by the Riverside Park, offering picturesque views. The service is excellent, and I highly recommend the river-view pool – it was a delightful experience to exercise with such beautiful scenery. Free parking for private cars is a plus, and the charging facilities are very convenient. This hotel is ideally located and truly the best five-star hotel with river views. It would be even better if the breakfast selection had more variety. Although the booking information was slightly different, the room rate included a double breakfast and a complimentary double dinner set, which tasted great, and the service was excellent. At just over 700, the double room offers great value for money. I'll definitely stay at The Westin again next time I'm in Yichang.FromUS$88

We visited the dam at the end of summer vacation when there were fewer people. The scenic area was not crowded, mainly because the weather was very cool. We chose a hotel close to the dam, which exceeded our expectations. The hotel parking lot was large, and the service of the ladies at the front desk was also very good. They also upgraded our room type, so that we can see the scenery of the high gorge and flat lake from the room, which is very nice 👍FromUS$26

Three Gorges Family/Xiling Gorge Yichang|7.92km from city center
For my trip to Yichang and the Three Gorges, I chose to stay at the Le Méridien Yichang, and my overall experience far exceeded expectations! The hotel is situated at the entrance of Xiling Gorge, offering a fantastic ambiance. The architecture blends seamlessly with the mountain and river scenery, and the tranquil and elegant courtyard provides picturesque views at every turn. It’s perfect for photos.
We stayed in a spacious river view room with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and a scenic balcony. From the balcony, you can admire the Yangtze River and the Gezhouba Dam. Waking up to the morning mist over the river and watching the sunset over the river in the evening was absolutely breathtaking. The bedding was comfortable, with a mattress that was just right – neither too soft nor too hard. The room was well-equipped, very clean, and had good soundproofing, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep.
The famous cantilevered infinity pool, facing directly into the gorge, is a must-visit for stunning photos.
Charis at the front desk was very efficient with check-in and promptly answered my questions about travel. This hotel is perfect for a Three Gorges vacation, a holiday, or just a relaxing getaway. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Yichang, and I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit!FromUS$106
