Which are the best luxury hotels in Tianjin, China, with executive club lounges? Our list includes Four Seasons, Hyatt Regency Tianjin East, InterContinental, Renaissance Downtown, Renaissance Lakeview, Renaissance Tianjin TEDA Convention Centre, Ritz-Carlton, Shangri-La Hotel, Sheraton Binhai, and Westin.
Most luxury hotels do not have executive club lounges or concierge floors, with lounges offering complimentary food and drink. It is worth picking a hotel with an executive club lounge so that you can benefit from all the free food and drink offered up in the lounge, as well as the luxurious rooms, setting, and service offered by these wonderful hotels.
The port city of Tianjin, China’s fourth-largest metropolis, is just 30 minutes from Beijing by high-speed train. If you are visiting both cities, we have also picked the best executive club lounges in Beijing. Tianjin Railway Station also offers regular high-speed train services across the rest of China.
1. Four Seasons Hotel Tianjin
With nine beautiful luxury hotels in key destinations across China, Four Seasons is perfectly positioned to support a Chinese getaway, whichever city you are heading for. Four Seasons Hotel Tianjin is surrounded by the buzz of a vibrant commercial district and is steps from the small lanes of historic French and Japanese neighborhoods. Four Seasons Hotel Tianjin is perfectly positioned for exploring China’s global port city.
Revel in chic, outdoor dining spots and a picture-perfect pool, as well as a full-service spa and generously sized rooms enlivened by dramatic views of this dynamic metropolis.
Wherever you are in the world, Four Seasons hotels are consistently one of the best hotels in that city or resort. This means that most Four Seasons hotel room rates generally start at $500 – $1000 USD per night and because they don’t have a Four Seasons loyalty program, you will never be able to book a free stay by racking up and redeeming points, or by collecting points on your credit card and spending them on a Four Seasons hotel stay. It can’t be done. But you can get discounts at Four Seasons hotels and benefit from special rewards at Four Seasons hotels for no extra cost by booking your next stay via our luxury travel concierge.
In terms of drinking and dining, Gusto Bar of Four Seasons Hotel Tianjin features the “first in the world” clay aging cocktail program. One of the most popular clay-aged cocktails is named Kiss of the Dowager, which contains dark rum, dry vermouth, Bénédictine, and absinthe, aged in customized clays for 50 days. The clay-aged cocktails have the unique taste of full-bodied fragrance, smooth entrance, sweet aftertaste, and more staying power.
Besides Gusto, Aria on 9 Sky Garden is a stylish garden terrace lounge to enjoy clay-aged cocktails pairing with tempting garden BBQ and canapes. It is also an ideal place for an incentive group to hold a kick-start or an evening sundowner while appreciating its artistic design and stunning view in the heart of Tianjin.
A highlight for me of this hotel is the 25-meter (82-foot) indoor pool is lined with lounge chairs and daybeds and has a skylit pool deck, which is the perfect place to relax with fresh juice in between dips.
This is one of the unique Four Seasons that offers an executive club lounge. There are a number of Four Seasons around the world with executive club lounges, largely congregated in Asia.
