Where Our Chef Dines on His Day Off
“Tang Chao Yi Pin, an elegantly designed Chinese seafood restaurant in the heart of Tianjin’s Xiaobailou business district, has its seasonal and fresh seafood transported daily from Taizhou. I recommend the fried hairtail – it’s so nutrient rich and has a great crunch.”
Our Lounge Manager’s Preferred Cocktail Spot
“Gal No. 2 is this speakeasy-style bar with a reception hall decorated like a suit shop. Their cocktails incorporate local Tianjin ingredients – like my favorite, the refreshing Popcorn Fizz, which uses Tianjin rose liquor, Scotch whisky, popcorn syrup and cream.”
A Shopping Find from Our Chief Concierge
“Check out the historical Ancient Culture Street by Hai He River, just 4.5 kilometres away from the Hotel, for classical folk architecture inspired by the Qing Dynasty, shops full of local cultural souvenirs, folk handicrafts and delicious street food. I recommend the Master Zhang’s elegant, lifelike clay figurines – they’re made of very fine clay materials with intricate details.”
A Cultural Landmark from Our Front Office Manager
“The Porcelain House is decorated with over 4,000 pieces of ancient china, more than 400 pieces of white marble stone, 20 tons of crystals and agate and tens of thousands of ceramics. Walking through this this 100-year-old museum, you’ll notice the Chinese influence as well – four ‘china dragons’ snake through the building, and it’s all less than a 10-minute walk from our Hotel.”
