Hotel Indigo Harbin Central Avenue by IHG

Brass accents and old train regulator details run through the rooms here, a nod to the era when the Trans-Siberian Railway turned Harbin into one of Asia's more cosmopolitan stops. This 158-room hotel on Central Avenue carries that Russian-inflected history through brick arch corridors and up to Bin Bar, which looks out over the Songhua River on three sides. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.
