Boutique hotels in Tianjin used to be few and far between. But, recently, an increasing amount of old colonial buildings are being sensitively converted into quirky lodgings – cozier and more personable alternatives to the towering five-star hotel skyscrapers that hover over the city’s downtown area. From the artsy, illustrious, modern or retro, here are the best boutique hotels in Tianjin.
The only internationally-renowned brand on this list, Hotel Indigo is also the priciest, but differs from the typical five-star international hotels you’ll find in Tianjin. Each room is spacious and connected underground via a tunnel with glass ceilings. You won’t find rooms any quieter than here.
This classic illustrious hotel is highly praised by its guests. Be transported back 80 years with Shan Yi Li’s villa-style club suites. Accommodation prices can range from US$198—US$215 per night (UK£171—UK£189) for a standard room; to get the most out of your experience, book a suite with a group.
One of the most conveniently located boutique hotels in Tianjin, Sunshine E is literally just a stroll from Nanshi Food Street. Tucked inside a quaint and spacious neighborhood, Sunshine E is also relatively close to the Haihe River and Culture Square.
Right in the heart of Tianjin is the nationally branded hotel Home Inn. This small but cozy hotel offers easy access to Italian Style Town and is next door to the Tianjin Railway Station. Comfy beds and large bathrooms make this great value.
This boutique hotel is centrally located in the Heping district and close to many of Tianjin’s attractions; you’ll be able to walk to the BinJiang Dao Shopping Mall, Tianjin Antique Market and St. Joseph’s Cathedral.
Arguably the artsiest hotel in Tianjin, E518 Boutique Art Hotel lives up to its hype. Only about a 15-minute taxi ride from the airport, E518 is ideal for those wanting a dose of art before leaving Tianjin as various sculptures and paintings decorate the facilities and rooms.
Jiaji Boutique Hotel’s mini-Coliseum shape makes perfect sense due to its location within the former Italian concession area of Tianjin. Each room is uniquely designed with checkerboard-tiled bathrooms and walls. Stay here if you want to be near Italian Style Town.
Another classic building converted into a hotel in the Italian concession, Yi Boutique is a former mansion that’s retained the glamour it possessed during colonial times. You’ll find a retro-inspired mood with maroon interiors and dim lighting.
Better suited for business travelers, Beiyunhe Boutique Garden Hotel has in-house meeting rooms and a location further from the city center. Chinese art placed around the hotel, provides a touch of culture to this accommodation’s business vibe.
This modern industrial boutique hotel is near Tianjin’s Five Great Avenues. Minyuan 33 boasts marble-walled bathrooms and smooth wooden flooring. It even has its own Southeast Asian restaurant. Each room comes equipped with extra toiletries and robes to make you feel at home.
