About CITIC Plaza Hotel during the Canton Fair
Business hotel integrated into the CITIC Plaza shopping mall. Very convenient for evening shopping and dining, good business facilities, popular with Middle Eastern buyers.
CITIC Plaza Hotel is an upscale hotel in the Guangzhou city centre. During the Canton Fair (China Import and Export Fair) demand for Guangzhou rooms is extremely high and rates rise sharply, so booking 3–6 months ahead is strongly recommended. From the city centre the fair is roughly 6–9 metro stops away (typically Line 2 or Line 6 to a transfer, then Line 8 to Pazhou) — budget 30–45 minutes. Many city-centre hotels also run shuttle buses to the Canton Fair during the event.
For Canton Fair buyers the practical essentials matter: CITIC Plaza Hotel offers a business centre for printing catalogues and contracts, an early breakfast before the halls open, and a fitness centre and restaurants for the evening. Staff can help with directions, taxis and local dining.
