I stayed easy 20 times in the Westin in GZ on business trips. The Bar on the 1st Floor is still a nice spot to chill after a long day. The live music is usually easy listening.

The rooms are spacious, but even that the Hotel is now 4 years old you still smell the cleaning chemicals in the rooms. That really destroys the overall good impression and that the food at the breakfast area a nd the Italian restaurant is now just average.

The newly opened Sheraton meite be a worth to check option for SPG members.

Have been in this Westin hotel a few times now. This is a very high end and very modern and convenient hotel, with very spacious rooms , with a view ( go for the higher level rooms). They have great facilities including excellent restaurants and a very pleasant bar. The health center has 2 great pools , outside and inside and a fitness room , which is not too big but has state of the art facilities. Friendly staff. Hotel is close to shops and railway station from where you can catch the train to Hongkong.

Our family stayed at the Westin Guangzhou during the Chinese New Year. We are not starwood member or anything, just regular travellers who love superb hotels! Although this is not a family hotel, we enjoyed very much our stay.

As I found out later, the hotel was opened five years ago. It is very well maintained, with every detail well thought out. Personally, I love the scent at the lobby and the theme of the scent was carried throughout the hotel, including the toiletry. The weather was freezing during our stay and it was so wonderful that the hotel served free flow of Jasmine Tea and Lemongrass Ginger Tea. Very thoughtful indeed.

During our stay, we got to meet two senior executives of the hotel. We didn't get their names. Although we only had a brief chat, they could really convey the confidence to us that the hotel was well run and we are in good hands.

In terms of location, the hotel is situated at Tian He which is a newly developed CBD of Guangzhou, where shopping malls and fine dining abound.

I booked this hotel after a bad experience with The Landmark Canton in Guangzhou. I wanted to treat myself this time. I believe I got what I was looking for. I stayed here during Chinese New Year for three days.

The Executive rooms on 35th floor are huge, lots of space with very nice bathrooms. The views on the stadium side of the hotel are by far the best, simply stunning. I loved the WIFI speed. Good noize proof rooms. Executive lounge was a warm welcome with great benefits (the reception lady with short hair was the only one who truely provided personal service, sorry forgot her name). Also I can recommend the Buffet restaurant for a good lunch, nice extensive selection, good quality. I liked the fact that there were two pools, one inside and one outside, as the winters can be cold here in Guangzhou. Everybody spoke great English who I encountered, which was pleasant. The location was good. Shopping and nightlife around the corner. For the more extensive shopping or nightlife a short taxi drive is no effort.

The only dissapointment for me was that I could not control the room temprature. A problem I've had in more Guangzhou hotels, but did not expect this from a 5* hotel property. It's almost childishly stupid. Hotels here control all the room tempratures centrally to manage the heating or cooling. The hotel was professional enough to provide me a portable airconditioning system only seconds after I complained. Also I did not experience any turn-down service during my stay, a bit strange.

I would recommend this hotel for sure to anybody. I would stay here again also if I ever return to Guangzhou, or I might try their Sheraton just because I'm curious.
