The property offers a walkway to the Shipaiqiao Station and free shuttle service to the Guangzhou East Railway Station. There are a mixture of 263 elegantly decorated rooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and soaking bathtubs in many. But some guests take issue with the rooms' sound insulation. For guests in Oriental Club Lounge rooms there’s free breakfast and cocktail hour. The outdoor pool and massage pavilions provide luxurious relaxation with a nine-room spa and yoga in the modern gym. High-end designer touches create stylish settings in two restaurants and two bars. The Mandarin Oriental is an elegant choice, but luxury travelers that prefer a bolder, fashion-forward look may prefer the Sofitel Guangzhou Sunrich.

The 498-room Hilton Guangzhou Tianhe is an upscale hotel near the Guangzhou East Railway Station. It has a bit more style than many Hilton properties -- common areas shimmer, and rooms have a handsome, contemporary finish with modern tech amenities. Four dining options serve everything from tapas to Italian and there are two bars. City views are available from the outdoor pool and the modern gym -- both of which are busy -- as well as the full-service spa. Free shuttles to Canton Fair are offered, but otherwise expect fees for things like in-room Wi-Fi (except for Hilton HHonors members). For lower rates and similar features, consider the China Hotel, though rooms are less sharp and it's not close to the train station.

The 98-room Sheraton Guangzhou Huadu Resort is a luxury oasis overlooking a reservoir outside of central Guangzhou. Spacious, contemporary rooms feature large windows with lake or garden views, and suites have hot tubs. Villas offer added luxury with private pools and extra privacy. Produce from the hotel’s farm is served in two elegant restaurants, and the hotel has two bars and a game lounge. An elegant spa offers a modern gym, while tropical landscaping surrounds two pools, a hot tub, and kids' pool outside. For business retreats there’s conference space and outdoor obstacle courses. The biggest downfall is the remote location -- it will take almost an hour to reach central Guangzhou by taxi or shuttle. Alternatively, the Westin Guangzhou is more centrally located, though it lacks the same polish.

Decorated in a blend of Parisian and Chinese motifs, the 493-room Sofitel Guangzhou Sunrich is a luxury business property overlooking the Tianhe District. Much about this glossy hotel centers on its sleek vibe -- sharp rooms and suites include soaking tubs and some have 180-degree views (weather and smog permitting, of course). City views are also available from the chic indoor pool. Dining is an elegant affair in the hotel's three restaurants, and two bars offer cocktails. For the many business travelers that flock here, there are 3,000 square meters, or about 32,000 square feet, of event space, on-site parking, and private limousines. However, there's not much to see or do nearby. The nearby Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou has decor that's just a touch more elegant, though rates are higher.
