LIFESTYLE

In a sailboat-shaped skyscraper sheathed in blue glass, The Blue Sky Hotel & Tower brings something entirely different to Ulaanbaatar. This striking landmark frames vistas of the sacred mountains that surround the Mongolian capital, from the second-floor spa to the spectacular glass-ceiling bar on the top level. Besides dazzling views and a location overlooking the city’s main square, it offers beautifully appointed rooms and six wonderful restaurants serving everything from Cantonese hot pot and Korean short ribs to freshly sliced sushi and sashimi.

  • Choose from 200 guestrooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows
  • Keep fit and active with a workout in the state-of-the-art gym
  • Marvel at the stunning views of the city from Mongolia’s tallest skyscraper
  • Keep in touch with colleagues at the on-site business center
  • Savor the abundance of choice at the international breakfast buffet
  • Take laps in the pool, detox in the sauna, and relax in the Jacuzzi at the Health Club

When you enter The Blue Sky Hotel & Tower’s dramatic lobby, you’ll see a pair of twin pillars that resemble the entrance of a traditional Mongol ger (domed white hut). After you’ve settled into your gorgeous guestroom, wander outside and explore the surrounding area, which brims with museums, temples, and shops.

Great Location but Falls Short on Comfort and Value

Mon Jul 21 2025 12:42:16 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Jessi R

The Blue Sky Hotel has a lot going for it, but ultimately didn’t meet expectations, especially considering the price. The location is absolutely fantastic, with a stunning view overlooking Sükhbaatar Square and easy walking access to great restaurants, shops, and cultural sites. Arranging airport transportation through the front desk was quick and convenient. Our room was clean, and some of the staff were friendly and helpful. Others, while not rude, seemed indifferent or disengaged. One odd detail was a notice instructing us to let the shower run for 20 minutes to flush rust from the pipes, which was a little off-putting. The biggest issue was the heat. Because the hotel is made almost entirely of glass, our room felt like a greenhouse. The air conditioning struggled to cool it down, and even at night it remained uncomfortably warm. The blinds did not fully cover the unusually shaped windows, so a lot of sunlight came in early each morning. This may not be a problem most of the year, since Mongolia is usually quite cold, but we were there in July and the heat was a major issue. There is a cool outdoor bar next door that features live music. It creates a fun atmosphere, but the noise was quite loud and could be a problem for anyone who wants to sleep before midnight. The hotel shows some wear and feels a bit dated in places. While it has a lot of potential, it did not quite deliver the comfort or value we were hoping for.

Not a five star hotel.

Tue Jun 17 2025 05:35:01 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Paul U

This was our base hotel during a tour of Mongolia so we had two different rooms separated by a few days. The views of the city were great. The rooms had hard, uncomfortable beds so little sleep. The shower on the first stay leaked at the vase into the rest of the bathroom flooding the floor. In our second room the shower door had to be propped shut with a towel underneath as it was hung unevenly and wanted to open all the time. Water pressure was so so and temperature fluctuations constant. Room airconditioning can't be turned off or adjusted if you take the door card out, it runs all the time and is noisy. If you insert the door card all the lights come on, not ideal for sleeping. Ulaanbaatar is a noisy city and windows are poorly sound insulated. Included breakfast is of good quality and varies day to day but service is from largely inexperienced students who are not really attentive and this is worse in the upstairs restaurant where you can be ignored for some time and the bar short pours wine measures and puts massive heads on draft beer. I sent one back to be topped up and got a nice scowl from the bar man. Apart from location this is not a 5 star hotel and bear in mind on top of room rate you can add, 10% VAT, 5% service charged (for what?), and 2% city tax, a hefty 17% in total.

The heart of the city! Fantastic hotel!

Sat Sep 21 2024 21:45:26 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by 6OfThe7Continents

I had a great time staying at this hotel, it was super clean, very easy to check into. The cafe downstairs is great, the restaurants not so great, but the hotel itself was amazing! Service was on top! Staff was very nice, laundry service was great, the gym was good for a holiday workout. Nightlife is nearby right on Seoul Street for bars and clubs. Normal tourism you are right in the Heart of the City in one of the most iconic buildings in the skyline, the room was comfy, the bed was clean shower was very hot and perfect. I would definitely stay here again!

Five Star Hotel with Zero Hospitality

Mon Aug 19 2024 05:40:24 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by rnhnrn

Expect no hospitality from the staff. It's a total hit and miss, definitely more misses than hits. Check in counter officers / receptionists don't even try to be nice. No smile no greetings, no apologies when there are clearly issues from their end. One particular staff is the one handling my re-check in on August 19 5:30 pm. He seems to be doing whatever is the opposite of being hospitable. It is not a bad hotel, the location is excellent and fcilities are okay-ish. However nobody seems to care of hospitality or guest experience.

Not really business more like a mission, vision trip

Sun Oct 08 2023 09:06:51 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by 794KimH

This is a trip my husband and I take with other like hearted friends. This is our third trip of this kind to Mongolia. Staying at this hotel was a new choice. And it was not a good choice. The entire hotel is heated which is ok if you enjoy the heat BUT not if you don’t like your room to be 94 degrees even with the small window open AND a fan going AND the door open!! And this at 9:00pm!! Why can’t foreign hotels keep the air conditioning units on and offer their guests the option to turn ON or OFF the air conditioning?!! Foreigners like to sleep in cooler conditions!! It still uses energy to run the heat all the time as it does to run the air conditioning!
