The 1000-room
Garden Hotel Guangzhou joins SRS-WORLDHOTELS’ Deluxe Collection in January
2004. “It is a major coup for us to have added this large, prestigious hotel to our
portfolio, and takes us firmly forward in our drive towards further expansion in
China ahead of other major hotel distribution companies,” said Roland
Jegge, Vice President Asia/Pacific of SRS-WORLDHOTELS. The hotel joins SRS-WORLDHOTELS’ portfolio at a time when European carrier
Lufthansa Airlines is set to launch its new direct service to Guangzhou in
February, and the state-of- the-art new Baiyun International Airport Guangzhou is
scheduled to open in the summer. “This is the perfect timing for The Garden Hotel to join us. Although we have an
extremely well-developed global distribution network, SRS-WORLDHOTELS is
based in Frankfurt and our core strength is delivering the European market to
our international member hotels,“ said Jegge. Conveniently located in the business district of Huanshi Dong, the commercial
and financial hub of Guangzhou, with easy access to all major transportation,
The Garden Hotel Guangzhou is only a short drive from Bai Yun International
and Domestic Airport and a direct 3-hour bus service to Hong Kong departs from
the hotel’s doorstep. The hotel offers guests a grand entrance into its magnificent ornate Lobby, richly
decorated with unique Chinese art works, and its 1,000 guest rooms and suites
are luxuriously furnished and equipped with all the latest facilities including
broadband internet connectivity. At the top of the 30-storey hotel, the elegant Executive Floors are specially
designed for the business traveller, and offer a higher level of personal service. Executive Floor guests enjoy complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails in
the exclusive Executive Floor Lounge, unlimited use of the hotel’s gym with
sauna and steam bath, two hours complimentary use of the Executive Floor
meeting room per day, and airport-hotel transfers in one of the hotel’s limousines
- as well as a host of other benefits. The Garden Hotel Guangzhou offers guests the choice of 11 wining and dining
options. Guests can choose delicious seafood and spectacular city views from
the top floor of the hotel at the revolving Carousel restaurant; gourmet
Cantonese at The Peach Blossom; international dining and buffet at Greenery
Coffee Shop; traditional Guangzhou specialities at the famous Lai Wan Market
where guests can dine in a ‘sampan’; the ultimate in fine French dining and live
entertainment at The Connoisseur; the city’s freshest Japanese at Furusato
restaurant; or pizzas, pastas and other deliciously authentic Italian delights at La
Casa. Guests can eat in or takeaway a wide selection of Western or Asian snacks
at either The Delicatessen Corner or The Fast Food Center. The Garden Hotel Guangzhou is a luxurious destination for relaxation too, with
entertainment for the whole family. Recreational facilities include a Health Club
with gym, sauna and massage, an outdoor swimming pool, two tennis courts
and two indoor squash courts. A beauty salon and a shopping arcade that is
home to many international brands are conveniently located within the hotel. |
