About Shangri-La Harbin
- Harbin's Zhongyang Pedestrian Street, 15 minutes by car, is lined with Baroque and Renaissance buildings dating from the Russian railroad era (1898 onwards), including structures designed by Russian and Polish architects who made Harbin one of the most architecturally European cities in Northeast Asia.
- The Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival, held each January within the city, features the Ice and Snow World park where ice buildings can exceed 46 metres, using ice blocks cut from the Songhua River, the same river the hotel overlooks.
History
Opened in 1999 as Shangri-La's first property in Harbin, an inland port city on the Songhua River with deep Russian influences evident in its architecture and culture. The hotel reflects the city's blend of Asian and European heritage. Recent updates include new luxury rooms and themed family suites.
The setting
Shangri-La Harbin stands at No. 555 Youyi Road on Daoli District's renowned Friendship Road, directly on the south bank of the Songhua River with a three-minute stroll to the riverside promenade. Sharing this prestigious riverside block with a fellow landmark luxury tower, the hotel sits at the heart of Harbin's premier hospitality address. Zhongyang Pedestrian Street, a historic promenade of European Baroque and Renaissance architecture, is roughly fifteen minutes by car, as is the Byzantine-domed St. Sophia Cathedral. River-facing rooms afford panoramic winter and summer waterfront views, while proximity to the Central Business District ensures seamless access for both leisure and corporate travellers.
