As a southern metropolis, Guangzhou's prosperous commercial economy has attracted many well-known hotels to settle in. Only Pearl River New Town, Tianhe North and Pazhou have gathered SPG Clubhouse, IHG Clubhouse, Four Seasons, Hyatt and Mandarin Oriental.
In the face of these various hotels, boyorgirl, who is on a business trip to Guangzhou for the first time or has not been there many times, will easily fall into "selection difficulties". For this reason, Shenmajun specially chose the 1 1 five-star hotel where business travelers often stay, hoping to provide some help to those who are struggling.
HNA Westin Hotel and Sheraton Hotel
Cost performance: ★★★★★★★
Features: Economic and comfortable, convenient for weekend leisure.
Time: continuous business trip 1 month or more.
For children's shoes that need to travel 1 month or more, the hotel is more like a foreign home, and comfort and practicality are particularly important. Secondly, I have been away for a long time, and I am busy with my work. I also need to find a place to relax on weekends.
Considering the above two points, the Westin Hainan Airlines and Sheraton Guangdong Sea located in Tianhe North will be the best choice for such business travelers.
* * * Same advantages:
1, large room space:
The Westin ordinary big bed room can reach 50 square meters, and the Sheraton ordinary big bed room can reach 40 square meters. The wooden design creates a sense of intimacy at home for you who are alone in a foreign land, and the spacious space can alleviate the sense of depression brought by work.

2. Comfortable mattress:
Spacious, moderate hardness, ergonomic. Especially Westin's famous "heavenly dream bed", the mattress surface is soft to the touch, the bagged spring is well designed to support the spine, the fluffy sleeping pillow and the light down blanket. Shenmajun said that Xuan had an impulse to carry home after sleeping ~
3. Being in the hottest business district in Guangzhou, you have everything to eat, drink and be merry:
Located in Tianhe Business District, Tianhe City, Tian Huan Square, Wanlinghui, Jiazheng Square, taikoo hui and other popular shopping malls are all within 3 km. There are not only foreign first-line fashion brands, but also large cinemas and various online celebrity milk tea shops. Going out of the house is a popular circle in Guangzhou at present.
Each has its own strengths:
Westin:
1, first-class scenery overlooking the Super League:
The Westin wing faces the Hebei business district, overlooking Xiaomanyao and Zhujiang New Town, with a wide and empty view, especially when the lights are just on. At the same time, the hotel is only 100 meters away from tianhe sports center. During the Super League, if you just catch up with Evergrande's home, you can even hear the cheers of the fans, as if you were there.
2. Fitness facilities:
In addition to the traditional gym, there are two indoor and outdoor swimming pools, so swimmers no longer have to worry about the rainy weather in Guangzhou.
Sheraton:
1, the executive lounge is rich and delicious:
As hotels owned by SPG, Sheraton and Westin provide happyhour service every night for guests who are platinum members and above or book executive rooms. Compared with the simple lounge of the Westin Hainan Airlines, Sheraton "moated" more than one level.
It not only provides traditional "happyhour Four-piece Set" such as whole wheat bread, salad, wine and cake, but also provides traditional China staple foods such as Chinese and western soup, stir-fried dishes and cooked meat (such as fried salmon steak, stewed chicken and rice fried noodles). The richness, taste and color of the dishes are no less than those of Chinese and western restaurants around the hotel.
Westin Canton Fair and Intercontinental Poly Hotel
Cost performance: ★★★★★★★
Features: separated from the Pearl River New Town by a river, it has a sense of space and distance.
Time: within 2-3 weeks of continuous business trip.
If the Westin Hotel HNA and Sheraton Guangdong are scholars in the court, the Westin Canton Fair and Intercontinental Poly Hotel are like opposing sons. These two hotels are located in Pazhou, which is separated from the Pearl River New Town by water. They are not only connected with the urban core area, but also have a certain sense of external space.
Because Pazhou has a certain distance from the core business district of Guangzhou and needs a certain commuting time, it is more suitable for short-term travel within 2-3 weeks.
* * * Same advantages:
1, few people and quiet environment:
Located in Pazhou, the winding Pearl River flows between you and the bustling city, quietly devouring the noise on the other side. Even during the Canton Fair, you can experience a moment of peace in this crowded metropolis.
2. The indoor swimming pool occupies a large area and has many lanes:
Both the Westin Rectangular Swimming Pool and the Poly Intercontinental Plaza Swimming Pool occupy a larger area than other hotels, which can guarantee at least 8 people to travel happily at the same time.

Poly Intercontinental Indoor Swimming Pool
Each has its own strengths:
Intercontinental hotel:
1, fewer years and new facilities:
Intercontinental Poly Hotel opened in 2008, which is the latest hotel among the optional hotels. Light-colored interior design, with atmospheric floor-to-ceiling windows, gives people a feeling of bright windows.
2, bathroom products are good:
The slippers of the hotel are wide and soft, and the exquisite Mao Mao wraps your feet in all directions, giving you a comfortable experience of "walking in the clouds". In addition, the hotel adopts the bath products of BenSherman, an old British clothing brand, and the simple British design perfectly matches the simple interior decoration. Bath products are gentle and moist, emitting the fragrance of lemon and laurel, which makes you feel refreshed after bathing.
3. Desk design meets office needs:
Different from the executive rooms in other hotels, intercontinental rooms have a more business atmosphere, such as placing a chair on both sides of the desk and cleverly constructing the place needed for business talks; A mouse pad is placed in the center of the desk, which saves business travelers the trouble of finding a mouse pad.
Marriott Hotel Jiazheng Plaza Shangri-La Guangzhou Tianhe Hilton Hotel
Cost performance: ★★★★
Features: reaching the five-star average level, but the advantages and disadvantages are mixed, and the whole is slightly mediocre.
Time: 2 weeks or less
These three hotels have reached the average level of five-star hotels in all aspects, but the cost performance is average, which is more suitable for business people who are on short-term business trips and have no unique preferences.
Hilton Tianhe Hotel: Located in the north of Tianhe, the surrounding traffic is quite convenient, within 3 kilometers from Tianhe business circle. However, the disadvantage is that the structure of the ordinary big bed room is rectangular, slightly crowded, with insufficient activity space, poor scenery, and the quality of bedding and toiletries is not outstanding.
Marriott Hotel Jiazheng: Located in Tianhe North, above Jiazheng Square, a famous shopping plaza in Guangzhou. What is outstanding is the food in its executive lounge, which is comparable to Sheraton Guangdong.
However, because the hotel was transformed from an office building, the atrium was hollowed out, and the rooms on each floor were arranged in a "mouth" shape with bright lights. From the cat's eye of the room, you can observe the guests coming in and out of the opposite porch, which is of poor privacy.
"mouth" layout
In addition, there is a two-lane one-way street in front of the hotel, which is located in the core business district. People and vehicles are crowded, and the morning and evening peaks are very crowded, so it is relatively inconvenient to take a taxi.
Shangri-La, Guangzhou: Located in Pazhou, the hotel covers a large area and has a beautiful back garden. However, due to the early opening time (opening in 2007, the interior of the room is generally being maintained, so the facilities look old. In addition, on the whole, the number of Shangri-La hotels in the world (only 1 10) is less than that of hotels owned by SPG or IHG, and they are concentrated in Asia, which is not friendly to business people who need to fly all over the world.

Grand Hyatt and Ritz-Carlton
Cost performance: ★★★
Features: representative of luxury hotels in Guangzhou.
Time: 1 week
If the above hotels belong to luxury hotel brands in Guangzhou, then these two hotels can be said to be luxury brands in the hearts of Guangzhou people.
* * * Same advantages:
1. Hidden in the city: From the site selection point of view, both hotels are located in the core area of Zhujiang New Town with dense crowds and traffic. However, due to ingenious design, the main entrance of the hotel is just far from the downtown road, and flower city square is near the hotel. Downstairs you can reach the "city living room" on the central axis of Guangzhou. The whole has a sense of compromise.

2. See Kung Fu for details: As the saying goes, the quality of the two hotels can be seen in the design of some details. For example, the swimming pool of R&F Grand Hyatt Hotel is small, but the water is accompanied by melodious music, which makes people involuntarily immersed in it. The rooms of the R&F Ritz-Carlton Hotel are equipped with exquisite furniture and tea sets, and the British luxury brand ASPREY bath products founded in 178 1 are adopted. Every detail reveals the exquisite taste of a century-old luxury hotel.
Clockwise from top left: exquisite tea set, magnificent bathroom, retro TV cabinet and luxurious Aspley three-piece suit.
However, it must be mentioned that both hotels have the same shortcoming-poor privacy of rooms.
The room on the Grand Hyatt side faces the hotel across the street, and you can see the inside of the opposite hotel room at close range, so you always need to tie up the curtains when you check in. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel has poor sound insulation. In the guest room, you can clearly hear the conversation between the waiter and the adjacent room in the corridor, and the room on one side is close to the adjacent property, so you can clearly see everything on the balcony on the other side. You always need to turn off the hotel screen when you check in.
W hotel
Cost-benefit ratio: emmm......w Hotel is not cost-effective.
Features: nightclub style, unconventional, city landmark.
Time: true love powder does not discuss time.
Although the above-mentioned hotels are different in appearance, in the final analysis, there is not much difference in temperament, so they can be put together to discuss swords. However, the W Hotel is a special case. It is like a foreign disciple independent of the Central Plains Sect, and each city has different sinister moves and unique existence. For boyorgirl who likes nightclub style or is unconventional, this hotel will be your only choice in Guangzhou.
Seen from the gate, W Hotel is different. Unlike other hotel doormen, there is always a well-dressed little brother in front of the W hotel. At night, one or two sexy young ladies will appear in front of the door, and they will welcome the guests who have been playing late into the night into the hotel door with charming smiles.
The hotel lobby is like a small club, with strong metallic decoration, sculptures and sofas of different shapes, and one iconic W auspicious dog after another, which makes you forget that you are in a hotel.

W hotel's characteristic dog sculpture
In the hotel rooms, the decoration is mainly marble and glass, the overall lighting and tone are dim, and the design is bold and avant-garde. The unique red, blue and purple feathers of W Hotel create a psychedelic feeling.
The hotel is located in the core area of Zhujiang New Town, surrounded by many office buildings. As night falls, look out through the glass with the logo of W Hotel, as if the outside world is all about you. In the dream world of the hotel, you can do whatever you want.
Left: W hotel room right: glass with W hotel logo.
Even the hotel's executive lounge has no business elements. Strong color design, fashion magazines and various chessboards are placed on the table at will, and strange design works make the original serious lounge look like an art gallery on the corner.
In addition to the above, I have to mention the bath products that the hotel can't stop. A bathrobe with a smooth and waterproof surface and a delicate and soft interior like cashmere, you don't want to take it off when you put it on.
A bathrobe you don't want to take off when you put it on.
The extra-large bath products with fresh smell can be taken home after use, and you can enjoy a hotel-like bath experience at home.

Cost performance: ★★★★★★★
Features: "Luxury Express Hotel", suitable for young business travelers who have just joined the work.
Time: the transition period when five-star hotels are full.
Although there are many five-star hotels in Guangzhou, as long as there are large-scale activities (such as Canton Fair), the prices of five-star hotels in Guangzhou are likely to rise sharply and the whole line will be full. At this time, for business travelers who temporarily receive business trips or miss reservations because of slow hands, you can consider the Yalexuan Hotel in Tianhe North.
Aloft is a non-star hotel brand under SPG, and its price standard is between three-star and four-star hotels in China. Because its decoration style is mainly fashionable and smart, Yalexuan is also called "Little W".
Its rooms are similar in overall style to IKEA, but more colorful, like a small hotel-style apartment. At the same time, the hotel is equipped with a gym (no swimming pool, XYZBar, billiards table and other entertainment facilities.
The surrounding traffic is convenient, only 3 kilometers away from Guangzhou's core business district (Wanlinghui, Jiazheng Square, etc.). ), and the hotel atmosphere is relaxed, mainly young people, which is very suitable for business people who have just joined the work.
