THE RITZ-Carlton will launch a new hotel in Tianjin, one of the five national central cities as designated by the Chinese government, in mid-2013.
Located 30 minutes away from Beijing via high-speed train, the Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin will offer 277 guestrooms, including 52 suites.
“The opening of The Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin in one of China’s most strategically important cities reflects our desire to meet the growing Chinese appetite for luxury experiences. (It) represents a major gateway opportunity that will accelerate the recognition of our service commitment to excellence by Chinese guests,” said Herve Humler, president and COO, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company.
The hotel will also feature four F&B outlets – including a Cantonese restaurant with 10 private dining rooms, each equipped with its own wine cellar – as well as an indoor swimming pool, luxury fitness and spa facilities.
Event planners can also make use of the hotel’s conference spaces such as one of the city’s largest ballrooms and three function rooms, totalling 1,625m2 .
