Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Tianhe
St. Regis brings its butler-led, white-glove service standard to a sleek tower in Tianhe, with rooms that apply the brand's signature damask and dark walnut palette with rare confidence. The Astor Bar — a New York transplant — makes it the most socially animated address in Guangzhou's luxury hotel circuit.
Tianhe
W's flagship in South China occupies the twin towers of the GTL development with a sky bridge pool between them that has become one of Guangzhou's most Instagrammed features. The WET pool deck, FUEL gym, and Living Room bar channels W's playful energy into a city that takes its leisure seriously.
Yuexiu
Guangzhou's first five-star hotel when it opened in 1984, and a city institution — the garden that gives it its name, a two-hectare oasis of tropical planting in the old municipal heart, remains one of Guangzhou's genuinely civilised spaces. The heritage is palpable, the service earnest, and the Cantonese restaurant preserves traditions that newer hotels have abandoned.
Yuexiu
A lovingly maintained 1930s building on Shamian Island — Guangzhou's former foreign concession, now a leafy pedestrian enclave of banyan trees and colonial-era villas. Rooms have been gently modernised without stripping the original character, and the island's café culture and tranquility make it the city's most characterful heritage option.
Tianhe
A bronze-clad pavilion in the heart of the business district, designed by Rocco Yim with interiors that layer jade, silk and stone. The Cantonese restaurant Man Ho sets a standard for traditional dim sum that the city's serious food lovers acknowledge, and the Mandarin Spa's jade therapy treatments are unique in Guangzhou.
Tianhe
Positioned high in the Guangzhou International Finance Centre — the city's second-tallest tower — the Ritz-Carlton begins only on the 58th floor. Views of the Pearl River delta and Baiyun Mountain are staggering; the 71st-floor indoor pool, the T'ang Court Cantonese restaurant, and the meticulous service make this Guangzhou's most aspirational address.
