Pazhou International Exhibition Center Area and Canton Tower and Kecun Area Guangzhou|0.46km from Exhibition Hall of China Import and Export Fair
It's probably been a year since I last stayed at a five-star hotel. This time, what truly impressed me wasn't the luxurious decor, but rather the subtle touches of warmth that are easily overlooked. For example, the delightful surprise prepared for my birthday, the exquisite fruit platter, and the welcoming service every time I got in and out of a car – someone always opened the door, handled my luggage, and provided directions. There was also the patient assistance with local food recommendations and the gentle, sincere greetings from every staff member.
In the morning, I was woken by the sunlight filtering through the sheer curtains. Outside, the city skyline along the river was coming to life. The room's color palette was soft and elegant. Soaking in the bathtub, all the day's fatigue simply melted away. For me, it wasn't just a stay; it was a soothing sensory therapy.
Stepping into the hotel felt like putting life on mute. In this hotel, my only responsibility was to relax, sleep, and dream.
Thank you for this unexpected kindness. I hope to return again. Best wishes.FromAED 1,771

Both staff members were genuinely friendly and provided meticulous service. From check-in to addressing any needs during my stay, they actively helped coordinate and patiently offered advice, demonstrating a high level of professionalism. It's precisely because of such excellent employees that my stay was significantly enhanced. The hotel is well-managed overall and offers good value for money. I highly recommend it and will definitely choose to stay here again next time!FromAED 376

As a Guangzhou native, Shangri-La has been at the forefront for two decades. This time, I wanted to experience the swimming pool, and upon checking in, Mia Zhang at the front desk was warm, professional, and meticulous in helping me choose my preferred room type. I felt truly at home. The service standards of this long-standing five-star hotel haven't slipped one bit, which is commendable. The room was very clean and offered the best view and location. The swimming pool is quite large and comfortable for a hotel, with both indoor and outdoor options. Nancy Li from housekeeping also provided detailed and thoughtful service, trying her best to fulfill any requests. The quality of the staff reflects the high-level training provided by the hotel management. I had originally purchased a package, but due to health reasons, the hotel promptly canceled one night, which I appreciate. Thanks to all the staff for their efforts in making my stay a perfect experience. Highly recommended when visiting Guangzhou! (#^.^#)👍🏻FromAED 474

The staff at this Intercontinental hotel are incredibly service-oriented. From the moment my car pulled up to the lobby, I could feel the professionalism and enthusiasm of the concierge team. As I was traveling for business, I was constantly going back and forth between the hotel and my client. No matter if it was morning or evening, I always encountered meticulous concierges who would proactively open car doors, greet guests, and help with luggage. Even in the scorching heat, working outdoors, they never slacked off. They truly deserve commendation.
There was a slight hiccup during check-in; it felt like the front desk agent wasn't very experienced in handling special situations, but thankfully, everything was resolved smoothly in the end. When I was checking out and waiting in line, an international staff member immediately came over and opened a new counter to process transactions, which was very flexible and ensured that guests in the lobby wouldn't have to wait too long.
The breakfast was also very rich and diverse. The staff in the all-day dining restaurant were well-organized. I particularly liked the fresh squeezed juice, and tables were cleared quite promptly.
As I was leaving, I chatted with a male lobby manager, mentioning that the hotel is well-maintained, but could use a renovation to add some smart amenities, such as robots for food delivery and smart toilets.
Overall, the stay was fantastic, and I look forward to seeing updated hardware and the same excellent service on my next visit!FromAED 395

The view is nice, and the surrounding area is very convenient with lots of places to eat. It's not far from Guangzhou Restaurant, just a short walk away! Many foreigners stay here, and there's also a decent-sized pool, perfect for kids to swim in, and it's not too crowded either!FromAED 274

Elegant hotel with spacious, well-designed rooms. The room layout is practical, and the fittings and amenities are thoughtfully designed, giving the place an upmarket feel. The breakfast spread is good, and the fitness center is spacious and adequately equipped. The staff — with one or two exceptions — greet guests warmly whenever they see you.
A couple of drawbacks: there's no toilet on the fitness center and restaurant level which is a bit inconvenient. Also, the slope leading to the hotel's main entrance is hidden and partially cordoned off, so guests need to instruct taxi drivers to drive up the slope rather than wait along the road.FromAED 318

The location is fantastic — everything is really close, and the hotel is almost in the middle of the city. The hotel offers great value for the price.

The first time we came to Guangzhou, we stayed at Arthur Hotel New Town, and we had such a warm and comfortable experience that, after one month we decided to come back again after returning from Shenzen.
We chose this hotel again because it feels so welcoming and familiar to us.
From the moment we arrive, the warm hospitality makes us feel comfortable and well cared for. The staff are friendly and helpful, and there are thoughtful touches throughout the day.
I especially love that coffee and tea are always available, along with afternoon tea and a light evening dinner, including noodles. These little details make such a big difference, especially when travelling with children.
The breakfast is amazing, with a wonderful variety of fresh and delicious food. The rooms are beautifully designed, modern, comfortable, and very well maintained. Everything in the hotel feels thoughtfully arranged and beautiful.
For us, this is more than just a hotel. It has become a place we feel comfortable returning to whenever we are in Guangzhou. That is why, after our first stay, we chose to come back again months later.

I booked through Ctrip, but when I used Gaode Maps to navigate, I noticed a price difference of 100 yuan. I wanted to cancel and rebook, but when I asked for clarification, I got no clear answer. When I arrived at the hotel, they said if I canceled and rebooked, there would be no rooms available. One staff member offered free breakfast to compensate, but another stopped them and insisted on checking my reservation details (honestly, even if they offered breakfast, I wouldn't be able to wake up for it). We usually stay next door for our annual exhibition, but this year we wanted to try out the new Courtyard. The front desk service left a very uncomfortable impression. Also, there was a slight renovation smell in the hotel that made my throat uncomfortable (though it might have been the weather). The exterior view is nice, and aside from the occasional door-closing sound from next door, it's quite quiet.FromAED 300

This branch has one of the best locations in Guangzhou. It is close to Modiesha Metro Station, Canton Tower, the Canton Fair Exhibition Center, Party Pier, and many of the city’s main attractions. The neighborhood is modern, clean, and full of restaurants, cafés, and entertainment.
The hotel is located in the same building as a shopping mall, which makes everything very convenient. There is a large supermarket downstairs, plenty of restaurants and cafés, and even a McDonald’s just outside the entrance.
The breakfast is one of the highlights. If you enjoy healthy food, you’ll find plenty of fresh options every morning, along with excellent coffee. Guests can also enjoy complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby throughout the day, where there is a comfortable workspace for anyone who needs to work remotely.
The hotel also offers a self-service laundry room, a small fitness area with a treadmill, modern facilities, and excellent service. Everything was clean, efficient, and well organized.

The hotel is conveniently located in a peaceful, serene environment away from the hustle and bustle of the main roads. My room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with an incredibly comfortable bed and soft pillows.

One unique feature was that the food I ordered on ******* (food ordering app) was delivered to my room by a robot, making the experience even more memorable.
What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the exceptional customer service. A young receptionist with glasses, surnamed Zhang, went above and beyond to ensure I had a wonderful stay. From helping me operate the TV remote to ordering food for me on ******* and assisting with several other requests, he was always patient, friendly, and professional.
Whenever I'm in Guangzhou, especially around the Haizhu District or Pazhou area, this hotel will definitely be my first choice.

It's probably been a year since I last stayed at a five-star hotel. This time, what truly impressed me wasn't the luxurious decor, but rather the subtle touches of warmth that are easily overlooked. For example, the delightful surprise prepared for my birthday, the exquisite fruit platter, and the welcoming service every time I got in and out of a car – someone always opened the door, handled my luggage, and provided directions. There was also the patient assistance with local food recommendations and the gentle, sincere greetings from every staff member.
In the morning, I was woken by the sunlight filtering through the sheer curtains. Outside, the city skyline along the river was coming to life. The room's color palette was soft and elegant. Soaking in the bathtub, all the day's fatigue simply melted away. For me, it wasn't just a stay; it was a soothing sensory therapy.
Stepping into the hotel felt like putting life on mute. In this hotel, my only responsibility was to relax, sleep, and dream.
Thank you for this unexpected kindness. I hope to return again. Best wishes.FromAED 1,771

As a Guangzhou native, Shangri-La has been at the forefront for two decades. This time, I wanted to experience the swimming pool, and upon checking in, Mia Zhang at the front desk was warm, professional, and meticulous in helping me choose my preferred room type. I felt truly at home. The service standards of this long-standing five-star hotel haven't slipped one bit, which is commendable. The room was very clean and offered the best view and location. The swimming pool is quite large and comfortable for a hotel, with both indoor and outdoor options. Nancy Li from housekeeping also provided detailed and thoughtful service, trying her best to fulfill any requests. The quality of the staff reflects the high-level training provided by the hotel management. I had originally purchased a package, but due to health reasons, the hotel promptly canceled one night, which I appreciate. Thanks to all the staff for their efforts in making my stay a perfect experience. Highly recommended when visiting Guangzhou! (#^.^#)👍🏻FromAED 474

The hotel is conveniently located in a peaceful, serene environment away from the hustle and bustle of the main roads. My room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with an incredibly comfortable bed and soft pillows. The bathroom was large and immaculate, and I especially loved the remote-controlled curtains, which added a modern touch.
One unique feature was that the food I ordered on ******* (food ordering app) was delivered to my room by a robot, making the experience even more memorable.
What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the exceptional customer service. A young receptionist with glasses, surnamed Zhang, went above and beyond to ensure I had a wonderful stay. From helping me operate the TV remote to ordering food for me on ******* and assisting with several other requests, he was always patient, friendly, and professional.
Whenever I'm in Guangzhou, especially around the Haizhu District or Pazhou area, this hotel will definitely be my first choice.
By the way, they have free serve-yourself coffee machine where you can get either black coffee with or without sugar and milk as well as lemon and mint drink which happens to be my favourite!FromAED 93

The staff at this Intercontinental hotel are incredibly service-oriented. From the moment my car pulled up to the lobby, I could feel the professionalism and enthusiasm of the concierge team. As I was traveling for business, I was constantly going back and forth between the hotel and my client. No matter if it was morning or evening, I always encountered meticulous concierges who would proactively open car doors, greet guests, and help with luggage. Even in the scorching heat, working outdoors, they never slacked off. They truly deserve commendation.
There was a slight hiccup during check-in; it felt like the front desk agent wasn't very experienced in handling special situations, but thankfully, everything was resolved smoothly in the end. When I was checking out and waiting in line, an international staff member immediately came over and opened a new counter to process transactions, which was very flexible and ensured that guests in the lobby wouldn't have to wait too long.
The breakfast was also very rich and diverse. The staff in the all-day dining restaurant were well-organized. I particularly liked the fresh squeezed juice, and tables were cleared quite promptly.
As I was leaving, I chatted with a male lobby manager, mentioning that the hotel is well-maintained, but could use a renovation to add some smart amenities, such as robots for food delivery and smart toilets.
Overall, the stay was fantastic, and I look forward to seeing updated hardware and the same excellent service on my next visit!FromAED 395
