Hotel Indigo Ningbo Riverside by IHG

The 18th-floor terrace at Lumiere frames the lit Yong River bridge at eye level, which is a good way for a hotel to introduce itself. This 163-room tower sits at the Sanjiangkou confluence and leans into the city's old port identity hard, from wharf-named meeting rooms to a café riffing on the Shanghai-Ningbo trading route. Suites run to deep-blue velvet and oversized sculptural lighting, and the indoor pool, all brass fixtures and rippling reflections, is quietly dramatic.
