Our take
I recommend the Shangri-La Hotel Harbin to travellers who want to swim indoors whatever the weather outside, since Harbin winters are long and very cold. The indoor pool and hot tub, the riverside setting and the fine dining restaurant make it a full-service base. With a guest score of 8.6 from 177 reviews, it is a reliable pick; budget travellers should look elsewhere.
- ✓Make sure to use the indoor pool and hot tub, especially if you're visiting during winter.
- ✓Consider dining at the hotel's restaurant for a convenient and refined meal experience.
- ✓Take advantage of the fitness center to maintain your routine while traveling.

Why guests love itThe riverside setting near the Songhua made this hotel feel calmer than a typical five-star during the busiest week of the Ice and Snow Festival, and the fine dining on site meant we rarely needed to brave the cold just to eat well. The indoor pool and hot tub together became our nightly routine, one for movement, the other for actually warming up after hours photographing sculptures. Air conditioning and heating both worked exactly as they should through very different weather.
