Guangzhou Exhibition Center
Business luxury with a Maritime Silk Road design concept — think dramatic lobbies, river views, and art referencing Guangzhou's trading heritage. Contemporary and polished, not overly boutique.
Hotel rooms start from the 19th floor — the higher you go, the better the Pearl River and Canton Tower views
Why It Matters
InterContinental's first property in Guangzhou, holding LEED Gold certification and a Michelin Plate award for its dining. The Canton Fair location is genuinely unmatched — no other luxury hotel is closer to the fair complex.
A 41-story luxury tower sitting right on the Pearl River, directly adjacent to the China Import and Export Fair Complex — the biggest trade venue in the country. The entire property is themed around Guangzhou's history as a Maritime Silk Road trading port, and you'll see that woven through the lobby design, artwork, and interiors. It's first and foremost a business hotel, but the Pearl River views, four restaurants, and a spa on Level 6 mean it holds up just fine for leisure travelers too.
