White Swan Hotel
About White Swan Hotel during the Canton Fair
Guangzhou's most iconic hotel on picturesque Shamian Island. A historic landmark reopened after renovation. Stunning Pearl River views, colonial architecture, famous for its indoor waterfall. Longer commute to fair but an unforgettable experience.
White Swan Hotel is a luxury 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: White Swan 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. Its concierge can assist with restaurant bookings, supplier dinners and transport across Guangzhou.
