"This trip to Tianjin, staying at the Astor Hotel, was truly wonderful! Employee Li Zirui picked me up from Tianjin Station. Her warm demeanor and the clean vehicle instantly gave me a great impression of Tianjin. Upon arrival at the hotel, Lobby Manager Joanne and Indian employee Naveet welcomed me.
I was amazed that Naveet, who's from Mumbai, spoke excellent English and fluent Chinese! He also efficiently brought my luggage to the room. I'm thankful to the hotel for upgrading me to the Mei Lanfang Suite. With a record player and books and paintings by the legendary master Mei, I could feel the musical beauty in the room. The attention to detail was impressive. Despite being a century-old hotel, the facilities are quite new, and the rooms even feature comfortable and cozy King Koil mattresses.
I also visited the Astor Hotel Museum, with nearly 3,000 exhibits. It felt like stepping right into Tianjin's vibrant history! I saw the famous old elevator, the historic staircase, and the vintage revolving wooden doors.
If you come to Tianjin, you absolutely must see the night view along the Hai River.
The Astor Hotel's location is excellent, right by the Hai River. That night, I walked to Daguangming Bridge to photograph the night scenery. Even though it was cold, the scene was unforgettable. I enjoyed the buffet breakfast at the second-floor restaurant, and later had coffee and pastries in the afternoon. Overall, the Astor's food was delicious, and the service was very friendly – even southerners like me found it palatable!"
