Staying at Evergrande Hotel in Tianjin Dongli Lake was an unexpectedly delightful experience. The butler service stood out—especially Nana, who went above and beyond. She proactively reached out to deliver water, provided baby essentials, and showed genuine care for every detail. After we realized we left something behind post-checkout, she promptly helped arrange a courier delivery—so thoughtful and convenient. The hotel is incredibly close to Happy Valley, just a short walk away, and our room’s balcony offered a perfect view of the lake and the park. We were lucky enough to catch the nighttime drone show from our balcony—unobstructed and breathtaking. The interior design has a classic vintage European charm, giving off that timeless elegance. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, making it ideal for relaxation. Don’t miss the hot spring baths paired with traditional Hanfu performances—both high quality and memorable. After soaking, my skin felt silky smooth. Overall, combining Happy Valley with this lakeside wellness retreat was a flawless choice. A truly relaxing, well-executed stay that I’d absolutely recommend and return to.
