Whether it is a business trip or a leisure vacation, Tianjin Yujiapu Intercontinental Hotel can meet the needs of guests and bring them an unforgettable stay experience. The only Intercontinental in Tianjin, located in Binhai New Area. Opened in 2018, it is really new compared to many five-star hotels in the city. I went to stay for one night from the city, and I felt like a short trip, very relaxing. The view of the river view room is average, and the design of the room is decent, simple, and atmospheric. The service is good, the ice cubes and bathtub sets are delivered quickly, and the takeaway is also delivered directly to the door by the robot. The supplies are as always BYREDO. I like the design of the corridor atrium, which has a sense of architectural beauty.

InterContinental Tianjin Yujiapu Hotel & Residences Executive River View King Room: 45 sqm, with a wide view from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel gave me a cake for my birthday. The corridor has a modern design. The swimming pool on the 12th floor has no view, but the gym and yoga room are spacious and have great views. The executive lounge on the first floor is small, with not many dishes and average taste. The Baozili Lounge on the 12th floor has an average atmosphere, but the cocktails are good. Breakfast is average, but the mutton soup is good. 👍🏻Pros: 1. The interior design is very distinctive and suitable for taking photos and checking in. 2. Room upgrades are available when rooms are not fully booked. 3. Good sound insulation, basically no noise. 4. Equipped with an air purifier. ·Breakfast The hotel's all-day restaurant is on the first floor, next to the executive lounge and Chinese restaurant. The public area of the hotel is quite compact, but it also has its advantages. It's not tiring to walk around. The interior decoration of the restaurant is okay, not as good as in the corridor. The area is quite spacious. Although there is no IHG Elite Member Zone, the service is good from beginning to end, with seating and beverage services. . 1⃣, The dining table is decorated with fresh flowers. The iced Americano is okay. There are two kinds of fresh juice, watermelon and carrot. Although there are not many kinds, they are quite strong. . 2⃣, There is a separate beef noodle stall, with freshly made ramen. The soup is thick and the meat is plentiful. The ingredients are rich. It's quite good. The wontons here are very delicious. They are handmade and freshly wrapped. The skin is smooth and the filling is large. The taste is fresh and delicious. It's the best I've had in Hebei and Tianjin. It's better than many street restaurants. The mutton offal soup is also better than many street shops. The ingredients are very generous. . These are the star products of breakfast, especially wontons. Must try! I had three bowls. . 3⃣, There are freshly made pickled cabbage and pork pies and chive boxes, which are all delicious. The Chinese crepes are also good. The special feature is that they are filled with a lot of fruit, about six or seven layers. They are crispy and layered. They are even better than the ones I had at St. Regis before. It would be even better if I could have more sauce. . The freshly made sandwiches are also good. The toast is very crispy. Other Tianjin specialties include tofu brain and guoba dishes, but I didn't have the stomach to try them. . 4⃣, Chinese hot and cold dishes are relatively weak. Hot dishes are basically vegetarian, and there are not many kinds. Cold dishes have a salted duck that is barely edible. . 5⃣, Western cold cuts and hot dishes are of average level. The baking stall is average. The waffles are crispy and the croissants are soft. There's nothing else. . 6⃣, The salad stall is quite rich, and the fruit stall is average. . Overall, it's a bit high in carbs. You can get full and eat well with a few star products. But if you don't like carbs, there are fewer choices.

The Executive Lounge at the InterContinental Tianjin Yujiapu Hotel is now open as usual, and the executive benefits are very good. The opening hours are from 2pm to 11pm every day. During the morning hours when the lounge is not open, you can enjoy a variety of soft drinks and a variety of Starbucks freshly ground coffee at the lobby bar. The latter is indeed a good highlight. Drinking Starbucks here is not just about exchanging two cups of welcome drink coupons. It is a real Starbucks free drink like Sanya Renheng CP. If you like it, don't miss it. . The Executive Lounge is also located on the first floor of the hotel, next to the all-day restaurant, opposite the Chinese restaurant. The area is not large, but thanks to the high and effective partition design, it also looks small and exquisite without being cramped. The most prominent performance is the service team led by the lounge manager. From beginning to end, the high standard is commendable. For example, I just tasted the dishes during the happy hour and went out to find food. Soon the manager's sister called to ask if the dishes were not to my taste. Do you want to help me cook a bowl of beef noodles or provide some other meals to avoid hunger. But I have already eaten outside, and I have accepted the kindness. . The lounge provides a good quality afternoon tea, 6 desserts, and freshly made scones and a salty dish. The ingredients are solid, the scones are well cooked, and they are not worse than the set afternoon tea on the seat. It is best to control the dessert insulation, such as tiramisu, which will easily collapse under room temperature. . The tableware is a full set of Narumi, which makes people feel happy. . There are many dishes during the happy hour, and all categories are complete. Even the desserts have been replaced with new ones, but there are also some unsatisfactory places. For example, the ingredients and taste of the hot dishes need to be improved. Although there are crayfish, etc., they are not very fresh. The temperature of the hot dishes has not been well maintained. These opinions have also been fed back to the lounge manager, hoping to become better after improvement. . This hotel opened during the epidemic, and the lounge has been affected. However, from the beginning of the review, it has now ranked among the top in the domestic InterContinental brand. The progress is obvious. Overall, it is indeed good, but it is definitely better to strive for excellence.

Experiences and Impressions: 1. The contrast between the cold exterior and the warm interior is stark. The hotel building and public areas are particularly dim at night, but the staff are not indifferent at all, they are extremely enthusiastic. As long as you show up, someone will greet you. 2. It's my first time encountering a washbasin installed in the middle of the room. I guess the owner is a firm believer in the minimalist style, as many hotels like to place the bathroom or bathtub within view from the bed. Given the layout of this hotel's rooms, if the washbasin were installed next to the shower as usual, then the bathtub would have to be in the middle of the room. But now, the bathtub is even placed against the wall, without giving any angle, which is quite unusual. All of this is speculation, of course, but I find the layout quite interesting. Brief Reviews: Location: The hotel is near the Administrative Center subway station at exit B6, which is convenient for travel. There are several shopping malls nearby to satisfy dining and shopping needs. Check-in and Check-out: I arrived at seven in the evening in the rain. The front desk proactively told me that it was not convenient to go out for dinner or order takeout that day and suggested dining in the lounge instead, offering me a happy hour treat, which was very considerate. The check-in process was also very fast. Member Benefits: As a Diamond Ambassador member, I didn't have access to the 40N lounge benefits, but I booked a basic room and was upgraded to a deluxe room (corner room), with welcome fruit and a welcome drink voucher. Room Comfort: The room was not stuffy, dry, or smelly, and there was no noise. I had a comfortable sleep. There is a smart toilet, but it's a bit far from the bed, so be careful not to bump into the washbasin when going to the bathroom at night. Facilities and Services: I didn't experience the gym or other facilities. Dining: The breakfast roujiamo tasted good, and there were many local snacks. The HH menu was rich, with many people's favorite smoked salmon, and surprisingly, there was also fresh coconut. Cleanliness: No problems. Additional Expenses: None. Value for Money: The value for money is excellent, and it's very cost-effective to book an executive room directly without a membership.

InterContinental Tianjin Yujiapu Staycation|InterContinental Tianjin Yujiapu The holiday was too short but I wanted a sense of ceremony, so I finally chose to welcome the first morning of 2024 at the InterContinental. Overall the experience was good, but what satisfied me most was the "pillow menu". I picked a "lavender pillow" and a "space memory pillow". The style is just an ordinary pillow, but it is really comfortable to sleep on. My neck often feels uncomfortable, so I have very high requirements for pillows when I sleep at night. Last night, no matter how I twisted my neck, it was very comfortable. It's rare to see this, hahaha. The afternoon tea in the executive lounge is just a place to eat some fruit and drink some juice. HappyHour was pretty good. There were too many people for breakfast, it was like going to the vegetable market and I didn't eat much, but the food was good. Regarding taking photos, I personally feel that this hotel is not very photogenic. The light temperature is particularly yellow at night, including in the executive lounge, in the rooms, and in the corridor at the door of the room. I regret not bringing CTO color filters to correct the color of the flash. There are two things about the executive floor river view room that are not as good as the normal river view room: the room angle is wrong and the floor is too high so the corridor has no view. I won’t say much about the rest, here are the pictures! staycation Yujiabao
