Hotel Buzz: St. Regis Tianjin Readies to Debut

China is gearing up for its next dose of luxury: St. Regis Tianjin is set to open this October.

We hear the 276-room hotel is located riverside by the Hai River, home to many of Northern China's culture, historic and natural attractions.

Architecture buffs will swoon over the design. Nice touch: The soon-to-be iconic building will be constructed of steel and glass in the shape of a hollowed cube that furter complements the concept of "Jin Men," or "Gateway" to Tianjin.
