Tianjin Saixiang Hotel
Unfortunately for foreigners, it’s a little out of the way from the city highlights . Word of warning make sure the cab drivers reset the meters on pick up , my cabbie was a scammer. That was the only disappointment of the whole trip .

Shangri-La Tianjin
Clean and exactly what you’d expect from a Shangri-La hotel. Room was very nice and very well designed. Gym was fantastic with barbell and every weight/ machine you could ever need. Breakfast buffet was amazing with excellent service. Blown away by the hotel. 10/10. Highly recommend
