The Ritz-Carlton, Guangzhou

The guest experience at any Ritz Carlton is always awesome. They provide a shoe shine service with pick up from your room; they promise to bring your shoes back by 7 am the following day. No need for a wakeup call: at 7 o’clock sharp, the doorbell rings: that’s Ritz Carlton. In Guangzhou it can also happen that, while you are enjoying the most amazing breakfast, the executive sous chef Philly comes to your desk, greets you like an old good friend and treats you with an amazing Egg Benedict while maitre Lynn takes care that everything is just perfect. At Ritz Carlton you feel really special: thank you!

Choose this hotel versus 4 Seasons, Park Hyatt, W, and Rosewood - all within 5-8 mins walk of Tianhe district in the CBD area, mainly because I am a Marriott member. Overall nice old world charm if you been traveling to the east since the 90s, most of the branded hotels tend to be decorated with marble, dark wood and chandeliers. The checkin was efficient and we were allowed early checkin at 11am and late checkout till 4.30pm. Housekeeping was prompt. Room was spacious as most of the hotels in China at this category. Everything work well and concierge was helpful with directions and tourist information. We did not eat at the hotel restaurants as there are many good food to be found within a 10 min walk of the hotel. Guangzhou is known to be the cradle of Cantonese cuisine, you be spoilt for choices at very reasonable prices. That’s also the reason we chose not to book the room with club lounge access as we figure we be out dining most of the time since this was a foodie trip. The only shortcoming is that most of the tourist sites are located about a 20min taxi ride (traffic in GZ can be an issue) or several metro stops. The nearest metro stop (Zhujiang New Town line 3/5) is about a 10min walk near the US embassy. Overall will come back and stay at the Ritz.

Stayed in one of their Grand canton view club king during the New Year and received a high floor on the 33rd on the corner which offers beautiful unobstructed views of the Canton Tower and nearby Rosewood. Check in at the club was professional and polite Their club lounge is definitely one of the highlights as it was never once crowded and one could sip champagne and light food/snacks at all day. Room was of the old school Ritz with traditional decor hardwood and bath amenities was brand standard Diptyque without being stuffy. Service from housekeeping to the front desk was polite throughout and I was warmly greeted

My stay at the Ritz-Carlton Guangzhou was amazing! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The rooms were spacious, beautifully designed, and spotless, with stunning views of the city or Pearl River. The food in the lounge was fantastic, everything was delicious and well-prepared. Overall, the service and attention to detail here were outstanding. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Club Level was brilliant! Hilda, Noah, Wendy and the rest of the Club Level team did everything above and beyond to help my wife and I celebrate our fifth anniversary! From the moment we arrived late after work, helping us find something to eat, sorting out our anniversary celebrations and just helping us out throughout our stay, they and the Club Lounge team were absolutely fab and went above and beyond! Definitely will stay again and recommend staying at RC!
