Designated by the Chinese government as one of five ‘national central cities’, Tianjin is at the forefront of leading and developing political, cultural and economic standards for the nation.
The
Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin, is located by the Haihe River, surrounded by
the 19th and 20th century architecture of European nations that
sought to trade
with China, reflecting the city’s strategic
importance that continues today. Tianjin enjoys one of the fastest
growth rates in China and is a key hub of the economy. Major
industries include petrochemical, car production, metal
works and aircraft manufacturing. It is also
the world’s fifth largest container port and China’s largest
artificial deep-water port.
The
soon-to-open Ritz-Carlton hotel with a grand neo-classical style
façade was designed by the Tianjin Academy of Urban Planning and
Design, with interiors created by luxury hospitality designer,
Pierre-Yves Rochon. It houses 277 rooms, including 53 suites and
reflects the cultural European heritage in the district.
The
property will showcase four restaurants and bars, the signature of
which will be an elegant Cantonese restaurant with 10 private dining
rooms, each featuring its own private wine
cellar.
