Guangzhou Marriott Hotel Baiyun - New opening Marriott hotel in Guangzhou - Canton Fair shuttle bus offer

This property is simply beautiful. There are basically three hotels that share a massive courtyard, and an entire block, with the Mariott being the largest hotel (all owned by the same group, including Sheraton Four Seasons). The rooms at the Mariott Baiyun are really large for China standards, are new, clean and have a really lovely open planned layout with floor to ceiling windows. By the way, the toilet seats are heated and the lid automatically opens and shuts for you, which brought me loads of joy :) As it is near Baiyun Mountain, the views are amazing. I was in a standard king room number, 1285 (top floor), and had a view of the mountains and Guangzhou city in the distance. It is not noisy at all, and you can actually hear the birds outside the small opening window. The beds were firm, but comfortable. The staff were absolutely incredible and went out of their way for you, in particular Janet, Hannah and Mark Hu in concierge. It is around 30 minutes into town by taxi, or about 40 minutes by train (the subway is directly across the street and the China train system is SO SO very easy to use, and English friendly, only costing around 4rmb to get anywhere really). And then there's the breakfast...it is quite simply put, incredible. There were three very distinct stations, each having many chefs inside cooking up all sorts of local and international delicacies. You would never see anything like this in Australia (only China!) and it was simply delicious (make sure you're hungry). There are several lounge areas around the hotel foyer where you can sit, relax with friends, have a drink or food, and I enjoyed this space quite a bit. I was there for stage 2 of the Canton Fair, and there were a number of free coaches to take you there and back during the fair. There is also an automated currency exchange terminal in the foyer of the hotel that will exchange quite a few currencies into RMB. Thank you Mariott Baiyun, I will definitely stay here again!

the automated curtains, lights, fresh breeze of scent on the entrance. breakfast was very good.

I appreciated that the staff was very accommodating, especially with sending and receiving packages. That was a 10 out of 10.

The rooms were large and very well appointed with a huge bathroom. The whole property was immaculate and had a very calm feel as it had large green spaces and views towards the mountains. Very close to the convention centre and helpful staff.

Clean rooms with good amenities inside, very cosy bed and nice pillows. Breakfast is delicious, wide variety of food. Very friendly staff. We enjoyed plaing in a child room, which is very good.
