Grand Hyatt Guangzhou
A stylish, savvy business hotel in Guangzhou
One of the most prominent business hotels in town, Grand Hyatt Guangzhou employs a crowd-pleasing recipe: Zen interiors, a convenient location, great service and several dining options. For both business and leisure travelers to Guangdong Province, the refined hotel is a reliable place to stay with plenty of extras, including a spa, a sky-high lounge with killer views and an indoor rooftop pool.
Our Inspector's Highlights
• Grand Hyatt Guangzhou makes quite a first impression with its panoramic views over Guangzhou from the Sky Lobby on the 22nd floor.
• Despite being one of the most popular business hotels in the city, the stylish address still retains a calming sense of Zen, thanks in part to Japanese-inspired interiors by Remedios Studio, which also worked on Grand Hyatt Tokyo.
• Around the lobby and peppered throughout the Guangzhou hotel you’ll find elements of bamboo, dark wood furnishings, natural materials like rock and glass, as well as soft, glowing lighting.
• After checking in at the large wood reception desk, follow the stone pathways down dark wood corridors into a peaceful and nature-inspired treatment room.
• Health enthusiasts will appreciate the 82-foot lap pool, a fully equipped gym, whirlpool, sauna and cold plunge pool facilities.

The Rooms
• In keeping with the Japanese aesthetic, rooms have a minimalist feel with a clean white, beige and brown color scheme.
• You’ll encounter contemporary art on the walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, a working desk, iPod dock and a 37-inch LCD flat-screen TV that pulls out from the wall so you can watch from any angle.
• In the airy bathroom, there’s a handy island countertop stocked with June Jacobs lotions and soaps, as well as a glass shower that acts as a divider between the bathroom and the bedroom — higher room categories come with a Japanese-style deep, square tub that’s designed to facilitate good circulation.
