About 200 miles (or a 30 minute high-speed passenger train ride) from Beijing is the Tianjin Riverside 66 store. Originally a bank building constructed in 1921 by a renowned Chinese architect, it took three years for Starbucks to preserve the building’s original architecture and restore it to its full splendor, while infusing modern and creative elements that complement and give new life to the space. Highlights include a Renaissance-style façade, an expansive dome with imported marble columns, and local Chinese carvings. The original bank counters have also been fully preserved, allowing customers a peek into what a bank from a century ago looked and felt like.
