The hotel offers 277 guestrooms and 53 suites and features a neo-classical style façade designed by the Tianjin Academy of Urban Planning and Design, with interiors created by hospitality designer Pierre-Yves Rochon.

The spa features two relaxation lounges and eight large treatment rooms. Facilities include a heated indoor lap pool with spa pool beds, a whirlpool, steamrooms, saunas, a stretching and exercise area and a yoga studio.

Dining options include four restaurants designed to create destination experiences, such as Tian Tai Xuan, which serves contemporary Cantonese creations and Flair lifestyle bar offering south Asia-inspired dishes.

Herve Humler, president and COO, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, said: “This opening in one of China’s most strategically important cities reflects our desire to meet the growing Chinese appetite for international luxury hospitality experiences.”
