Standing tall along the banks of Guangzhou’s Pearl River, White Swan Hotel is a haven of tranquility among its bustling commercial surroundings. Like its namesake, the luxury hotel with a white exterior seems to sit gracefully on the river’s soothing current — an enchanting hint of the serenity found within its walls.
A lush tropical garden and gushing waterfall greet you in the skylit atrium and a well-stocked koi pond winds its way through the property’s signature restaurant. More than 500 meticulously appointed rooms offer panoramic views of the river and surrounding cityscape, providing an urban oasis on Shamian, a sandbank island.
If the soothing interiors aren’t enough to take your mind off of business, the placid Spa Sanctuary of White Swan Hotel and its palm tree-lined outdoor pool just might do the trick. Or you can engage in some retail therapy in the two onsite shops selling authentic Chinese handicrafts, including lacquerware, porcelain and carved jade.
- The Guangzhou hotel knows how to put its best feature forward. White Swan Hotel offers spectacular river vistas everywhere from the spacious accommodations to the restaurants to the pool.
- With its verdant tropical greenery, koi pond and abundance of natural light, White Swan Hotel’s lobby is an urban oasis. Completing the picturesque scene is a two-story rushing waterfall at the far end of the space.
- Enjoy modern Cantonese cuisine at Jade River. Elegant surroundings punctuated with traditional Chinese décor — like stunning latticework, jade-hued roof tiles, hanging lanterns and even a koi pond — set the stage for a memorable meal.
- White Swan Hotel is home to a huge (heated) outdoor pool. Swaying palms, lush greenery and river views just might transport you to far-off locales, though vistas of the skyline anchor you firmly in Guangzhou.
- A collection of 520 sleek and sophisticated accommodations offers a minimalist aesthetic with Chinese touches. For an extra dose of luxury, check into a club-level room to enjoy access to the exclusive third-floor Club Lounge with its serene ambiance, stunning city views and gratis breakfast buffet, among other gourmet goodies.
- Dig into dim sum for breakfast and lunch at Hongtu Hall. Come for the expertly handmade dumplings but stay for the panoramic river vistas.

- Whether you’re craving an elegant afternoon tea or a tipple with a river view, the Lobby Lounge is your go-to spot. Those looking for something special can request a bottle from the lounge’s three-story wine cellar.
