#Shangri-La Hotel Tianjin Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Watching seagulls, tasting food, with a comfortable mood, experiencing the beautiful scenery by the river
Shangri-La in Tianjin is a historic luxury hotel located in the bustling area of downtown Tianjin, built in 1923. It was once one of the most famous hotels during the British concession period. Now this century-old building has been revitalized and has become the most desirable and eye-catching accommodation choice locally.
Design
Stepping into the Shangri-La Hotel in Tianjin, you will be impressed by its elegant and exquisite design. Every detail reflects high quality and luxury, from the lobby to the rooms, public areas to garden views, you can feel a strong cultural atmosphere in every corner.
Room
We stayed in a luxury river view room, the super large floor-to-ceiling glass window is really awesome, the Haihe street view is in full view, especially the night view, the beautiful scenery composed of dazzling neon and flowing traffic, not to be missed. Of course, we were lucky to stay in a room with floor-to-ceiling glass windows on both sides, the view is just unspeakable! The layout of the room is great, with leisure sofas and writing desks, suitable for both business and leisure. Here is a small tip for girls who like to take pictures, put the quilt on the sofa, you can create a feeling of pretending to sleep by the window, change into a bathrobe and take a set of lazy vacation style pictures, just for this, I have to blow up this hotel!
Food
Dining at Shangri-La is never a concern, Xianggong has never disappointed. Breakfast is diverse, but the overall meal feels a bit northern, buns, noodles, roujiamo, pancake fruit, tofu brain, really Tianjin and many are freshly made.
Facilities
I must praise the hotel's gym, where I completed my first 3km run on a treadmill in my life, probably because the current environment was too comfortable for me to forget. First of all, the space is super large, the equipment is very complete, and we almost have the whole gym to ourselves on weekday afternoons.
Swimming Pool
The swimming pool of Shangri-La is very beautiful, it is an infinity pool, facing the Haihe River, swimming will give you a feeling of swimming into the Haihe River, the feeling is quite unique among many hotel swimming pools, and it also has underwater sound system.
Service
The staff are very polite and enthusiastic, when cleaning the room, they knew that I like to drink osmanthus tea and put a few more bags, and when checking out, they were very enthusiastic to help push the luggage.

Romantic Anniversary by the Rivers Side
#unforgettableexperiences
The Shangri-La, Tianjin, is, and has always been our favorite Hotel to visit.
This week was a special celebration for us, as we celebrated our 15th Wedding anniversary, as well as our 4th consecutive year in China.
We relocated to another City / Province, about two years ago, and was unable to visit and enjoy our special Shangri-La.
Prior to us moving from Tianjin, we used to celebrate all our special occasions and milestones, at this branch of Shangri-La.
We would always spend our Christmas, New Years, and Chinese New Year's at Shangri-La.
Now that we have returned to Heibei, we look forward to continuing this tradition.
Things change over time, some familiar faces are no longer working there.
However, the new team made us feel right at home again, and went out of their way to make our stay most memorable and special.
As I mentioned to one of the team members, it's not the spectacular Lobby Lounge, nor the beautifully decorated features, that make the establishment, but rather the people.
Without quality staff and superior service, no establishment can ever rely on reoccurring business.
For as long as these values are in place, this Shangri-La can be certain of our patronage.
All team members provided excellent service, from the bellhop, to the waitresses, from the front of house to the housekeeping and of course the management team.
Special thanks to "Francis", the new General Manager, "Danny", the Food and Beverage Director, as well as "Billy", the "Food and Beverage" Manager.
This trio of Management, ensured that we received the best service possible.
Lastly, we would like to thank "Roger" whom assisted us with a Driver / Transportation, upon our early departure.
No visit to Tianjin, would ever truly be complete, with visiting The Shangri-La.
See you soon.

Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin
Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin
The hotel is near Tianjin Station, with an excellent location, plus the configuration of a whole floor-to-ceiling window in the Deluxe River View Room overlooking the Haihe River, with a beautiful view.
The interior decoration of the room is average because it's quite old, but the facilities are complete and well maintained, and the overall room type is very open, the stay experience is very good!
After finishing work, I went to the 32nd floor Deluxe Tower for buffet dinner at exactly 17:00. To be honest, the buffet at Shangri-La is quite good among Tianjin hotels. I took photos when it was not dark yet, it must have a different flavor if you look at it at night~
If this is helpful, remember to like and collect. Check in more quality hotels together! You can also poke me when you check in the hotel, mainly for a peace of mind! Hotel Shangri-La

Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin accommodation for travel
【About the hotel I want to say】Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin accommodation for travel
Price: 1034 per night
Room: Ordinary double bed room, five-star standard, the room is relatively small, luxurious and high-end. The extraordinary part of this luxury hotel is nothing more than the service. A bottle of red wine is given upon check-in (not a good wine but it's okay), the room has all the necessary facilities, and they are relatively new, but the old brand Shangri-La's hard injury is still the old brand. However, although Shangri-La is old-fashioned, it has connotations, like an old
Gone aristocrat.
Surroundings: Along the Haihe River in Tianjin, the scenery is excellent. Tianjin is also a city-building type I like very much, and I have been there many times.
Restaurant: Without exaggeration, the breakfast at Shangri-La in Tianjin can be ranked in the top two of my hotel breakfasts. The meal mode is not the usual buffet (except for some meal packages and drinks), but the order system, you can choose Western food, Japanese food or Chinese food, I chose Western food. The dishes are made on the spot, the ingredients are very fresh and high-end, and the taste is also top-notch. In addition, the set meal includes an afternoon tea. I originally thought it was a very simple one, but I didn't expect it to be a double-layer iron tower snack plus a fruit. I can still recall the deliciousness of the quinoa muffin, it's really delicious.
Summary: This shop is currently the most expensive one I have paid for myself. The old-fashioned high-luxury service is impeccable. The restaurant is very attentive. The only thing is that the room is relatively small, especially the bed. Others, nothing to say.

Find your Shangri-la
# Do it with finesse and style
We initially planned to stay for one night only, and to perhaps try to exeperience, another establishment the next day.
However, we soon realized that we enjoyed it so much, that we had no desire to go elsewhere.
(We extended our stay).
The views from the Horizon View room, were spectacular, both day and night.
All the facilities, are truly world class, especially the indoor heated swimming pool and gym.
The hot Whirlpool Bath, and Suana also revitalised the body and mind.
The Spa was great, with excellent staff, and beautiful facilities. We enjoyed a Chinese Wellness Massage, in the couples room.
The Cafe Yun Restaurant, was our personal favorite, in terms of dining.
All staff there provided "Superb Service", and made us feel welcome, at all times.
They were curteous enough, to provide us with some delicious sweet treats, from the artistic deserts (which we could enjoy in our Hotel Room).
Our main meals, were all not just merely meals, but true culinary experiences. Only the finest ingredients, and condiments were used.
Lobby Lounge:
The "Pianist", was excellent, and my Wife and I, enjoyed listening to his ambient music, whilst enjoying our Dinner, in the Lobby Lounge.
We truly enjoyed the "Jazz Band", the previous evening. It made for a relaxed atmosphere, within the Lobby Lounge.
Front Desk:
All staff at the desk, were extremely professional, and assist us with check out. They were also kind enough, to assist us with arranging for our driver pick up.
General:
Also noteworthy, the fact that most staff, were proficient with English, thus not causing us any inconvenience (no translation apps were required).
As a formar senior manager, within the retail field, it was among other things, part of my job to look for flaws and problems.
Honestly, I can't think of any, when looking at the facilities, staff and overall experience.
Thank you, Shangri la Tianjin, rest assured, we will be back soon.
