Somerset Olympic Tower Tianjin

In central Tianjin, a short walk from Tianjin Medical University and minutes from Nankai University and Tianjin University. Close to St Joseph's Cathedral and Tianjin Water Park, this family-friendly luxury aparthotel puts you near the city's top sights.

185 air-conditioned suites feel like compact city homes with kitchens (refrigerator, stovetop/microwave) and pillowtop beds. Rooms come with DVD players, satellite TV, safes and desks — practical, polished and quietly modern.

Dive into an indoor pool, loosen up in the sauna and steam room, or hit the fitness center. There's an arcade and a children's playroom, a barbeque area, concierge service, complimentary wired and wireless internet, free self-parking and an airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

Built for work and events: a business center, a meeting room/conference space (about 323 sq ft), complimentary high-speed wired internet and limo/town car service to keep schedules tight.

Four on-site restaurants — including Salsa Restaurant — plus a coffee shop/café for snacks and brews. Buffet breakfast is served (6:30–10:00, fee applies) and limited room service is available.
