【Marriott Guangzhou Yuexiu】New spot for weekend dim sum
【Marriott Guangzhou Yuexiu】New spot for weekend dim sum.
The newly opened Marriott Hotel at Guangzhou Baiyun International Conference Center at the end of May is a great place to check in on weekends. (Bad joke: Yuexiu Marriott is in Baiyun District, not in Yuexiu District; Yuexiu Sheraton is in Nansha District, not in Yuexiu District). The complex consists of three hotels and a conference center, covering a large area. The design combines Chinese gardens and Lingnan style, offering a pretty good holiday experience in the city.
The room hardware is higher than the regular Marriott, using the new Marriott design style. The room pays great attention to lighting and other details. Overall, it is not excessive to label it as JW Marriott. The public area has a large garden landscape, and the interior also emphasizes greening and floriculture, and the use of traditional bricks and glass highlights the Lingnan characteristics. The hotel is really big, and you can walk more than 10,000 steps in two rounds. It does feel like a holiday.
The Chinese restaurant offers very good food at a high cost performance. Whether it's a Chinese set meal or a la carte dim sum, it's worth recommending. The abalone chicken porridge or flower gum porridge, which are very generous in ingredients, are all around 30 yuan.
The gym is large and well-equipped, and the swimming pool is also good.
The executive lounge is open, offering happy hour, and from 5:30 to 8:30, four hot dishes are constantly replenished, plus a noodle stall made on the spot, which is very generous. There is also a freshly mixed signature mocktail, which is very eye-catching in color.
The shortcomings of the new hotel are still very obvious. 1/ The room still has a bit of smell, and there is a very powerful air purifier in the room, which will help. 2/ The new hotel has very environmentally friendly energy-saving measures. If you leave the room for 45 minutes, the air conditioner will automatically adjust to 23 degrees, but this is a disaster for the smell of the new hotel room. After the engineering department came to fix it, the automatic energy-saving setting was probably cancelled in the background, and the lowest temperature was lowered. After that, the air conditioning was very strong, and the smell was basically not noticeable. 3/ The room is already equipped with a Dyson hair dryer and Jing tea bags, but the coffee capsules are still miscellaneous brands, which is a bit unreasonable.
The Marriott Hotel itself has 800 rooms (more than 1600 rooms together with Four Points by Sheraton and Element), and there are less than 40 suites, so it is difficult to upgrade on weekends, and using suite coupons is a safe practice.
In summary, Baiyun Yuexiu Marriott is a high-cost performance hotel choice for a holiday in the city without having to travel far. Of course, it's also good for meetings. But if you are sensitive to smell, you can come a little later.
