Where to stay

An architectural wonder in the clouds, the Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou offers sublime panoramic views of the city from luxurious rooms, a sky-lit atrium lobby on the 74th floor and seven dining and drinking venues, including Italian fusion restaurant Caffe Mondo.

Another testament to Guangzhou’s love of skyscraper hotels and blending old with new is the Rosewood Guangzhou, the world’s tallest five-star hotel, where high-end mod-cons and an observation deck complement bespoke Chinese art and textiles.

For the younger party crowd, there’s the trendy W Guangzhou, where pumping beats from in-house DJs, skilled mixologists and contemporary rooms attract influencers from far and wide who come to soak in this exhilarating city’s energy and optimism.
