About Shangri-La Guangzhou
- The Canton Fair, launched on 25 April 1957 and held twice yearly without interruption, is the world's longest-running trade fair; the hotel's three-minute proximity to the Fair Complex has made it the de facto home base for global buyers and sellers since it opened in 2007.
- The hotel's 5,800-square-metre garden on the Pearl River embankment, including a lotus pond and 1,000-square-metre freeform outdoor pool, represents one of the largest private garden footprints of any luxury hotel in Guangzhou's dense urban core.
- Guangzhou's Pazhou district, where the hotel sits, contains the Canton Fair Complex covering 1.55 million square metres, larger than 200 football pitches, the single largest permanent trade fair venue in the world.
- Entry-level rooms start at 452 sq ft (42 m²).
History
The Shangri-La Guangzhou opened in February 2007 in the Pazhou district, setting a new benchmark for luxury hotel services in Guangdong province's capital. Adjacent to the Guangzhou International Convention & Exhibition Center, it was developed to serve business travelers and trade fair attendees in this historic trading port city. The property features extensive subtropical gardens and a 36-story tower with Pearl River views, blending modern luxury with southern Chinese landscapes.
The setting
Shangri-La Guangzhou presides over 1 Huizhan East Road in Haizhu District, on a Pearl River embankment immediately beside the China Import and Export Fair Complex—home of the Canton Fair, China's oldest and largest trade fair, held each spring and autumn since 1957. The hotel's 36-story tower sits within 5,800 square metres of private gardens, a rare urban sanctuary on the river, with Xingangdong metro station steps away and the Pazhou Ferry Terminal just three minutes on foot. The convergence of globally significant convention infrastructure and tranquil riverside grounds makes this Haizhu address the natural choice for a luxury brand serving the world's leading importers and exporters in refined, garden-framed comfort.
