St. Regis Hotels & Resorts is soon adding its third property in China, the St. Regis Hotel, Tianjin.

Scheduled to open in 2011, St. Regis Hotel, Tianjin will establish the luxury lifestyle brand in one of China's key ports and industrial centers. A city rich in historic sites, Tianjin is one of China's four municipalities as well as the third largest city in China with thriving manufacturing, petrochemical and textile industries. Home to several opera companies, China's first University and an impressive collection of folk art, Tianjin is known as a cultural hub and one of the country's fastest growing coastal cities.

Part of a mixed use development, St. Regis Hotel, Tianjin will offer 284 rooms, more than 20,000 square feet of meeting space, six restaurants, a spa and pool. Tianjin is preparing for an influx of visitors next year as the city will serve as one of five main competition venues outside of Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games.
