Four Points by Sheraton Guangzhou Financial City, Tianhe is a mid-range hotel that suits travellers wanting dependable standards without the price of the luxury towers. The brand offers a straightforward, no-frills style of comfort, with clean rooms, helpful service and a focus on practical amenities, and this property follows that approach in the Tianhe area on the modern east side of the city. Guests choose it for value, for its position near business and shopping districts and for the convenience of metro connections that link it to the main sights. Rooms typically have work desks, comfortable beds and modern bathrooms, and the hotel has a restaurant, a fitness centre and meeting rooms. It works well for business visitors attending meetings in the east of the city, for families who want a straightforward base and for independent travellers who plan to spend most of their time out sightseeing. The old town and the river are a metro ride away, so you can combine easy evenings here with a full programme of days in other parts of Guangzhou.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the Tianhe area, with the metro within reach and taxis easy to find. Allow around thirty minutes to the old districts of Liwan and Yuexiu, and rather less to Zhujiang New Town and Canton Tower. The hotel can usually advise on the best metro lines for your plans.
Rooms and views
Expect tidy, practical rooms in a modern style. Ask for a higher floor for better views and less street noise, and check bed types if you are travelling with children.
Who it suits
First-time visitors on a budget, business travellers and families who want a comfortable, no-nonsense base. It is less suited to travellers who want a luxury spa or a historic atmosphere.
Good to know
Confirm the exact location and the nearest metro station before you book, as the Financial City area is spread out. Facilities can differ from the full-service luxury hotels, so check what is included in your rate. Passports are required at check-in.
Eating and nearby
The hotel has its own restaurant for breakfast and simple meals, and the surrounding area has cafes, noodle shops and chain restaurants. For a more interesting dinner, ride the metro into the city and eat in Tianhe or Liwan, where dim sum, congee and roast meats are on every corner. Check the hotel's breakfast hours if you have an early start. Pack a compact umbrella for the walk to the metro, and ask the front desk whether a shuttle or taxi queue operates at busy times.
