About Guangzhou Hotel (广州宾馆) during the Canton Fair
Historic state-owned hotel occupying a prime waterfront position at Haizhu Square. Older building but recently renovated rooms. Excellent dim sum restaurant, good value for the location.
Guangzhou Hotel (广州宾馆) 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: Guangzhou Hotel (广州宾馆) 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.
