Phoenix City Hotel  

In Guangzhou's bustling Tianhe district, a landmark 5-star property sits close to Tianhe Park, CITIC Plaza and the Guangdong Museum. It's roughly 20 minutes by car from Guangzhou Tianhe East Railway Station, 45 minutes from Baiyun Airport and about 30 minutes from the Guangzhou New Exhibition Center.

Classical Western design shapes nearly 600 rooms plus 10 private villas, all lavishly appointed with satellite TV, internet access, mini-bars and private balconies. Expect grand public spaces, elevator access and rooms that blend old-school luxury with modern tech.

Wellness and play are both covered: indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a full sauna and spa center, and a well-equipped athletic center. An on-site amusement park and several outdoor bars add extra buzz, while cigar and wine lounges handle after-hours unwinding. Private balconies offer skyline views at dawn.

A true events hub with 16 conference halls and meeting rooms — the largest seats about 1,500 guests. Spaces cater to business meetings, board meetings and interviews, and high-speed internet keeps things running smoothly.

On-site dining spans a French restaurant plus dedicated Japanese and Cantonese outlets, alongside cigar and wine bars and poolside outdoor bars. Regional Cantonese flavors sit side-by-side with international options for varied palettes.
