DoubleTree by Hilton Guangzhou

Overview of DoubleTree by Hilton Guangzhou

DoubleTree by Hilton Guangzhou is a 4-star, 41-floor hotel with 301 guest rooms and suites, all of which sit on the upper levels of the building, from the 25th floor to the 41st. According to Traveloka's listing data, the property was built in 2013, and the hotel's own description highlights panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows that frame views across Guangzhou, the city long nicknamed the "flower city". That combination of high-floor rooms and a central Yuexiu address is the property's clearest point of difference: guests sleep well above the street while staying within reach of some of the city's best-known historic sights.

The hotel stands at 391 Dongfeng Road in Yuexiu District (postcode 510030), which the property describes as part of Guangzhou's bustling central business district. Yuexiu is the city's downtown and administrative area, lying west of Tianhe District and east of Liwan District, so it suits travellers who want older Guangzhou on the doorstep rather than the newer towers further east. Traveloka's curation data currently lists DoubleTree by Hilton Guangzhou as No. 1 in Foreigner-friendly Hotels with Top Review in Guangzhou, a useful signal for international visitors who may be navigating the city for the first time.

As a DoubleTree property, the hotel follows the brand's well-known welcome ritual: the property description notes that guests receive the classic DoubleTree warm chocolate chip cookie upon check-in. Beds are the brand's Sweet Dreams by DoubleTree beds, and the hotel's description names Crabtree & Evelyn bathing amenities in the rooms.

Room Types at DoubleTree by Hilton Guangzhou

The room information supplied to Traveloka groups the hotel's 301 rooms and suites into a clear ladder, from standard guest rooms up to executive suites and a deluxe suite. Because every room sits between the 25th and 41st floors, the property states that city views are available from all guest rooms. Exact bed configurations and current availability vary by booking, so check the room cards on the listing before you confirm.

Guest Rooms (Standard)

The entry category is the 38 sq m Guest Room, offered with either a king-sized bed or two double-sized Sweet Dreams beds. The hotel describes a bathroom with a free-standing bathtub fitted with an inset LCD TV, plus a separate rain shower. There is a sitting area with a 40-inch LCD TV and a work area with wired and wireless internet access and plenty of power and data ports. Bathrobes and complimentary mineral water are listed among the special touches.

Accessible Guest Rooms

For guests who need more space or support, the property offers a 38 sq m Accessible Guest Room with a specially designed furniture layout, handrails and a king-sized Sweet Dreams bed. The accessible bathroom has a roll-in shower with an emergency call button, and the room also includes a 40-inch LCD TV and a desk area with WiFi. The hotel notes that photos on the listing may not reflect the specific accessible room type, so contact the property if a particular feature is essential.

King Executive Suites

The King Executive Suites measure 90 sq m and split the space into separate work and relaxation zones. The hotel lists a 40-inch LCD TV, an automatic espresso coffee machine, a Dyson Supersonic hair dryer and motorised curtains, along with a bathroom featuring a deep bathtub and a rain shower. Suite guests have access to the Executive Lounge on the 39th floor.

Deluxe Suite

At the top of the ladder is the 129 sq m Deluxe Suite, which the property groups with the executive suites for its contemporary amenities, separate living and working areas, and Executive Lounge access. It is the largest room type described in the hotel's room information.

Executive Lounge privileges

According to the property, guests staying in executive rooms and above can use the Executive Lounge on the 39th floor, where privileges include breakfast, afternoon tea and happy hour with views over the city. If lounge access matters to you, make sure the room you select on Traveloka is an executive-level category, and read the inclusions listed on that rate.

Facilities and Amenities

DoubleTree by Hilton Guangzhou is a full-service hotel, and Traveloka's facility data covers recreation, accessibility and practical services. The headline leisure facility is an outdoor pool, supported by a fitness centre and a health club. A game room is also listed under sports and recreation, which can be handy for families or groups looking for something to do indoors.

• Recreation: outdoor pool, fitness centre, health club and a game room.
• Service: 24-hour front desk and room service available 24 hours, per the listing.
• Accessibility: disabled-access-friendly facilities, accessibility equipment and accessible parking.
• Getting around: on-site parking is available with a surcharge.
• General: air conditioning, lifts, a coffee shop and ATM/banking facilities nearby.
• In-room basics: hairdryer and TV are listed in the facility data, with fuller in-room details in the room descriptions above.

On connectivity, the two parts of the listing differ slightly. The hotel's own description mentions WiFi in rooms and public areas without charge, while the facility list shows WiFi with a surcharge. Treat WiFi as available throughout the property, but check the rate details or ask at the front desk if a charge applies to your booking.

The property description also notes that rooms come with coffee, tea bags and bottled water, and a minibar charged separately. For business travellers, the hotel positions itself as suitable for both business and leisure stays, helped by its address in the Yuexiu business district.

Location and Getting There

The location is the main draw for many guests. The hotel's location description says DoubleTree by Hilton Guangzhou is within walking distance of Yuexiu Park, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Beijing Road and the Nanyue King Museum. The area information on the listing gives approximate distances to key sights:

• Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall: about 0.95 km
• Yuexiu Park: about 1.5 km
• Museum of the Nanyue King Mausoleum: about 2 km
• Liurong Temple: about 2 km
• Guangzhou Railway Station: about 3.2 km
• Tianzi Wharf, for Pearl River cruises: about 3.9 km
• Guangzhou Zoo: about 4 km
• Shamian Island: about 5 to 8 km, depending on the route quoted by the hotel
• Yong Qing Fang: about 5.3 km
• Guangzhou Opera House: about 6 km
• Canton Tower: about 6 to 8 km
• Pazhou Complex and Guangzhou Exhibition & Convention Centre: about 11 to 15 km

Business visitors will find several corporate offices within a short drive. The listing names Li & Fung at about 2 km, HSBC at about 2.5 km, and AIA and BASF at about 2.8 km, with the IFC Tower in the Tianhe area roughly 7 km away.

Arriving by road from the airport, the hotel's driving directions are to follow the Airport Expressway to the Guangyuan Xi interchange, join the Inner Ring Expressway (Nei Huan), take the Huanshi Middle Road/Xiaobei Road exit (B1), then turn right onto Xiaobei Road towards Dongfeng Middle Road, where the hotel is on the right. Travellers from Singapore can book flights to Guangzhou on Traveloka; the hotel's description notes that Singapore is within roughly a four-hour flight of Guangzhou.

The property description also mentions a bus near the hotel gate for onward travel to Hong Kong, and a complimentary shuttle bus to Pazhou Complex during the Canton Fair. Both depend on timetables and event dates, so confirm with the hotel before relying on them.

Dining at and near DoubleTree by Hilton Guangzhou

Traveloka's listing data records four restaurants on site, and the hotel's own description names its food and beverage outlets, which mix Cantonese and international cooking:

• OPEN All Day Dining: the hotel's all-day restaurant.
• Dong Yuan Ge Chinese Restaurant: Chinese cuisine.
• Liu Hua Ting Japanese Cuisine: Japanese dining.
• Canton Lounge: a lounge setting for drinks and lighter bites.
• G&G (Grab&Go): a quick-service option for food on the move.

Breakfast is offered at an additional charge on standard bookings, according to the listing, while executive-level guests receive breakfast as part of their Executive Lounge privileges. Room service is listed as available 24 hours, which helps after a late arrival or an early start.

For eating out, the property description points guests towards Beijing Road, Xihua Road and Dongshankou, where long-established Cantonese restaurants sit alongside Western and Turkish restaurants, cafés and a lively bar scene. If you would like a guided taste of the city, browse things to do in Guangzhou such as food tours and Pearl River cruises before you go.

Why Stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Guangzhou

Height is the reason many guests pick this hotel. With every room placed between the 25th and 41st floors and panoramic windows throughout, the views are part of the stay rather than an upgrade. The 38 sq m entry rooms are generous for a city-centre hotel in Guangzhou, and bathrooms with a free-standing tub and separate rain shower add comfort after a day on foot.

The second reason is position. Being within walking distance of Yuexiu Park, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and Beijing Road means much of old Guangzhou can be explored without a taxi, while Tianhe's business towers and the Canton Tower are a short drive away. For Canton Fair visitors, the Pazhou complex is within reach, and the hotel mentions a shuttle during the fair.

Finally, the hotel offers a full-service package: an outdoor pool, fitness centre, four restaurants, 24-hour front desk and room service, plus an Executive Lounge for higher-tier guests. The No. 1 curation tag for foreigner-friendly hotels with top reviews in Guangzhou suggests international guests find it easy to settle in.

1. Plan around check-in and check-out: check-in starts from 15:00 and check-out is by 12:00. If you arrive early, ask the front desk about luggage arrangements.
