Habsburg · Harbin · Since 2019
Habsburg Hotel puts 205 European light-luxury rooms on Youyi Road, two minutes from the riverbank and the cable car to Sun Island, five from the head of Central Street — with Saint Sophia Cathedral, Zhaolin Park and the metro within a stroll.
Why guests choose the Habsburg
Opened 2019 on the Songhua riverbank, scored 9.7/10 by 16,891 Trip.com guests and ranked No. 1 of Global Traveller-Picked Hotels in Harbin — the European light-luxury address where the staff culture, the location and the window view keep winning the votes.
River-view rooms face the water in every season — frozen parade ground in winter, barges and evening glow in summer — two minutes from the riverbank.
Ranked by travellers themselves: 9.7/10 from 16,891 stays, with a staff culture reviewers compare to five-star hotels.
From river kings and panorama doubles to family suites with humidifiers — every room is individually climate-controlled with free Wi-Fi.
The Flood Control Memorial Tower and Central Street are a five-minute stroll; the metro sits under the hotel and the cable car crosses to Sun Island.
The concept
Habsburg Hotel carries the city’s Russian inheritance indoors: a Habsburg-styled lobby on Youyi Road, warm woods and soft golds instead of glass and chrome, a restaurant where Chinese and Western chefs share the pass, and Russian-style afternoon tea appearing in the lobby as the afternoon turns.
Then the setting does the rest: the Songhua two minutes north, the Flood Control Memorial Tower and Central Street five minutes south, the cable car to Sun Island at the doorstep — and 205 rooms, from river kings to family suites with humidifiers, to bring the whole household home to. Rated 9.7/10 by 16,891 guests.

The house restaurant runs Chinese and Western chefs side by side — Russian-leaning classics alongside Heilongjiang standards — while the breakfast buffet holds the table from 7:00 to 12:00. “The staff are so kind and welcoming every day,” one guest wrote of the dining room; “the afternoon tea with snacks is excellent,” wrote another.
As the day turns, the executive lounge and the Chinese tea room take over — and after the ice festival lets out, warm drinks meet you at the door.

Guest reviews
“The location is good — it is by the Songhua River and the cable car, and near the group-tour pick-up point. The breakfast is great with a lot of food choices. The staff are accommodating and go an extra mile to serve; I also like that you can have afternoon snacks and coffee. I highly recommend this hotel when in Harbin.”
“We had a great stay! The bigger family room was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone and our luggage. It was clean, well-maintained and perfect for a family stay. The extra space made a big difference when travelling with the whole family — we would definitely recommend Habsburg Hotel for families visiting Harbin.”
“Good location, good facilities, near Sun Island — excellent view of the Songhua River and excellent customer service.”
“The restaurant is fantastic with a great ambience and excellent facilities. The staff are so kind and welcoming every day — they really made my stay special. The yoghurts with little pictures are such a great touch each morning. The views from the rooms overlooking the river are beautiful, especially at night.”
“While the hotel is not the newest, the staff make up for it — the butlers helped with our luggage and greeted us with bottles of water. The room was spacious and the beds comfortable. Location was excellent: steps away from the Line 3 subway and the ropeway to Sun Island, with Central Street within walking distance and lots of great eateries along it.”
“The restaurant is superb — lovely setting and complete facilities. From the receptionists to housekeeping and the breakfast team, the service is better than five-star hotels.”
“The hotel location was convenient and the hotel’s meet-and-greet service was good and friendly. The stay was wonderful.”
“The hotel is conveniently located — just a minute from the metro and within walking distance of Central Street; Stalin Park and the cable car to Sun Island are also nearby. The staff is attentive, the premises are clean, and the afternoon tea with snacks is excellent. The breakfast is sumptuous, the environment elegant, and breakfast is served until noon.”
