The Ritz-Carlton, Harbin
Seemingly etched out of crystal, The Ritz-Carlton, Harbin’s angular glass facade takes inspiration from the splintering sheets of ice that blanket the Songhua River, just below, each winter. The luxury hotel celebrates Harbin’s natural beauty in many ways, from its stunning exterior and interior design to art collection and spa treatments.
Famed for its annual Ice and Snow Festival, Harbin is among the most popular winter destinations in China, though The Ritz-Carlton, Harbin makes a great case for visiting any time of year. Floor-to-ceiling windows show off the city’s skyline from the tower’s top floors and a stunning spa provides a tranquil retreat from the bustle below.
A duo of restaurants serves up global flavors and Cantonese delights, while plush accommodations, complete with deep soaking tubs, provide a cozy place to rest — and warm up — after a long day exploring China’s “Ice City.”
- The Ritz-Carlton, Harbin’s interior design pays homage to the city’s Russian architectural heritage and famous ice festivals. Take note of the swirling azure artwork, sculptural chandeliers, polished marble floors and traditional Russian lace to appreciate the full effect.
- Situated in the city center, the luxury hotel offers stunning views of the Songhua River and easy access to key attractions, such as the Harbin Ice and Snow World, Sun Island and Harbin Central Street, making it an ideal home base.
- Savor traditional Cantonese cuisine in contemporary surroundings at King Wong Heen. The only thing more enticing than the expertly crafted dishes are the skyline views through wall-to-wall windows.
- Bathed in natural light, The Ritz-Carlton Spa houses six treatment rooms, including two couple’s suites. The muscle-melting massages will tune you up in no time, while the tranquil relaxation room pampers with cozy chaise lounges and locally inspired aromatherapy.
