I've stayed at four Shangri-La hotels in China now, and Harbin's is as good as any, plus it's right across the river from the annual Ice Festival--a big plus, as you can see a lot of sculptures from the hotel, and at night it's especially impressive. I was there late December as they were setting up and testing, and intend to come back in January for the real deal. Amazing!
Anyway, hotel is clean, efficient, very good restaurants, friendly staff, modern facilities and all around good quality. Not as luxurious as other Shangri-La hotels I've been in, perhaps, but for Harbin it's tops. Highly recommended.
