✈️Due to work reasons, I often stay in Guangzhou. I have high standards for hotels. This time, I stayed at a hotel that I am very satisfied with - Guangzhou Dongpu Four Points by Sheraton.
This is a hotel with a strong design sense, using a unique and fashionable aesthetic concept, deeply restoring the unique charm of urban business travel. Walking into the lobby, the overall tone is wood-colored, simple and reflecting the industrial design style unique to Four Points. Various characteristic crafts are dotted around, making the whole space lively and fashionable.
👍Coming to the guest room, you can see the difference between it and ordinary business hotels at a glance. The space is spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a perfect view of the Canton Tower and Pearl River. The room is equipped with a full range of facilities, such as branded bedding, smart TV, high-quality waterfall shower, free super-fast wireless and broadband, and a cozy small speaker. Every detail adds a sense of pleasure to the experience. There are also welcome desserts (Picture 9) ...
The buffet restaurant on the first floor offers a wide variety of food and delicacies. The breakfast menu is particularly rich, with a variety of high-quality food and local specialties: Chinese and Western food, Cantonese rice noodle rolls, deluxe egg rolls, Swiss cold cereal, etc. Each dish is carefully prepared by the chefs, reflecting the characteristics and soul of Cantonese cuisine. A good mood starts with a variety of delicious food. ✔️
👍💪👍Especially worth mentioning is the Marriott Bonvoy #DeliciousList, which is a must-try (Pictures 4-7). Chen Xiaoking, director of "A Bite of China", highly recommends it. It combines the authentic flavors of street food with the star-rated experience of the hotel. This is a new product launched by Marriott in autumn, and the main product in autumn and winter. Lock in the second floor of the hotel, Juwei Xuan Chinese Restaurant. This time, the set meal I ordered includes: Cantonese cold-cut pig's feet with ginger, refreshing green cucumber with peppercorn, crispy pigeon, green olive stewed fresh abalone, Yunnan deer antler mushroom stir-fried with pine board meat, corn juice lotus seed soaked in yam, Shangtang mulberry leaf, red beet juice pomegranate pillar seafood fried rice, mango sago. This is truly a feast for the senses, and I am very satisfied with the food!
✔️🉑The hotel's location advantage is also very obvious, with a 10-minute walk from the subway station and commercial area. One-stop solution for eating, accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment.
If you are also on a business trip to Guangzhou, this is definitely a good choice!
The Wandering Gourmand
I am extremely satisfied with the hotel I booked in Guangzhou
The recent sunsets in Guangzhou have been absolutely stunning! However, I was hesitant to take photos of the sunset due to the heat. Fortunately, I found this hotel with an amazing window view and immediately booked a three-night stay. The day I arrived, the rain had just cleared, and the view outside the window was so beautiful it almost brought me to tears.
Food and Footprints
Guangzhou Business Travel Preferred Hotel, great location with high cost performance, and the dining experience is also excellent!
Guangzhou Tianhe District's Dongpu is adjacent to Huangpu District's Yuzhu area, which has seen multiple large corporate headquarters settle in, new business districts open, and old city renovations in recent years. Yuzhu is accelerating its development. The Guangzhou Dongpu Aloft Hotel, which opened in 2009, preemptively occupied the bustling center of Dongpu and Yuzhu, and currently, it has a significant locational advantage.
It can be said that the hotel's location is really good, just a ten-minute walk to the Line 5 Sanxi Station, and a 20-minute subway ride to Zhujiang New Town. Next to it are large shopping centers such as IKEA, Merlin World, and Sam's Club. The hotel is only a 15-minute drive from the Pazhou International Convention and Exhibition Center, which also makes it a cost-effective accommodation for business guests attending exhibitions.
The hotel underwent a renovation upgrade in 2018 and is well-maintained overall. The lobby has a high ceiling, is spacious and bright, and the design is quite modern. The staircase connecting to the second floor of the lobby is one of the hotel's popular photo spots, with its dazzling crystal chandelier. Guests who enjoy travel photography can come here to take pictures. Many wedding guests also like to take photos here.
The hotel has a total of 296 simple and elegant rooms and suites. The room style is simple and elegant, blending modern classics with minimalist comfort elements. The brand's standards are met, and it is quite comfortable to stay in. This time I stayed in an executive suite with an area of 66 square meters, with good lighting, and the living room offers a distant view of the Canton Tower. Not only the suites, but some of the hotel's rooms also have views of the Canton Tower.
For dining, the Western restaurant 'Yi Ke Le' is open all day for buffet, and the Chinese restaurant 'Ju Wei Xuan' specializes in authentic Cantonese cuisine. Both main restaurants take a relatively populist approach, focusing on cost performance. 'Yi Ke Le' is currently offering a Chaoshan-themed buffet, where in addition to the usual seafood and barbecue, you can also taste a variety of Chaoshan delicacies, such as pan-fried oyster cakes, Chaoshan beef balls, and salted lemon beef brisket with satay sauce. The buffet also serves fresh sashimi, and the array of desserts is also worth trying.
The Chinese restaurant 'Ju Wei Xuan' has also updated its menu this summer, launching many seasonal dishes for the summer. There are dishes like Lanzhou lily and asparagus stir-fried with money belly, tomato stewed fish maw, and Zengcheng lychee stewed old chicken, all of which are delicious and healthy choices. In addition, the restaurant's dim sum is also exceptional, with a complete range of classic Cantonese dim sum, each handcrafted with artisanal care. For those who enjoy morning tea, visiting the restaurant for dim sum is also a good choice.
The lobby bar offers a selection of 'Fine Drinks', where you can enjoy authentic fine wines and snacks. Although it is an Aloft Hotel, it has all the facilities except for an executive lounge, including a fitness center and an indoor constant temperature swimming pool. It is a fully qualified full-service international brand hotel. If you are traveling to Guangzhou, staying here is also a good choice, most importantly, it offers high cost performance and convenient public transportation.
