Best Hotels in Changchun 2026

The bases that make a Changchun trip work, from hostel beds to flagship suites.

By Updated

The short answer: start with Shangri-La Hotel Changchun, Hyatt Regency Changchun and Sheraton Changchun Jingyuetan Hotel. This guide profiles 57+ hotels and places to stay in Changchun, with prices, timing, and the practical notes that decide whether each one earns a place in your plan.

Changchun is the capital of Jilin province in northeast China, a planned railway-and-capital city best known as China's 'City of Automobiles' and for the former imperial palace of Puyi, the last Qing emperor, who ruled the Japanese-controlled state of Manchukuo from here. Wide boulevards, the Jingyuetan forest lake, China's oldest film studio and long, dry winters make it a quieter, cheaper alternative to Harbin and Shenyang.
