We stayed at the Hilton Baiyun during our Chinese New Year trip to Guangzhou. We stayed at an executive room, which was very spacious with a bathroom with plenty of space and amenities. The bed was comfortable with a pillow menu to cater to all sleep necessities. Due to the close proximity of the airport (27km), there were occasional noises of planes preparing to land, but nothing bad. We hardly noticed it. Room service was good, barring the 'Hainan Chicken'. I've had better Hainan chicken at food courts at malls and paid 1/3 of the price.
The breakfast spread was decent, with choices from both western and chinese breakfast favorites. Definitely check out the hotel's chinese restaurant for some quality dim sum. High tea and cocktails at the executive lounge was very nice, with a nice selection of both sweet and savory finger foods. Service at the executive lounge was also excellent, with very friendly attendants. Service at the hotel overall was excellent, with everyone willing to help with a smile. The only problem we had was with the operators of the 'Magic' button on the phone. Due to their lack of proficiency in English, a couple of room service orders were misplaced by them and it was an effort explaining anything. But to their credit, they worked with us patiently to solve any issues with communications. For the future, we'd suggest they hire a fluent English speaker for this post, it is the Hilton after all and some guests may not be as patient and understanding.
The hotel is located in the Baiyun area, and features the backdrop of the Baiyun mountains on one side and the huge Wanda shopping centre on the other. The mall has various options for restaurants, including international chains like Starbucks, Subway, McD's and KFC. If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but still be close enough to be at the CBD in 10 mins, this hotel is highly recommended. The area is extremely peaceful and after touring/working in the city, you'd love coming back to this area just to relax.
Overall, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hilton Baiyun and we'd definitely stay here on our future visits to GZ.
