The hotel showcases the designs of some celebrity names.

Starwood's W Hotels pride themselves on being the coolest kids on the block. To say that W Guangzhou opened with a splash would be an understatement. It was more like a luxury fashion label debut rather than just a hotel opening for business.

Located on the banks of the iconic Pearl River, W Guangzhou weaves the city's vibrant threads into a dazzling tapestry of cutting-edge architecture, rich history, luxury shopping and world-class entertainment—just steps from ancient sites.

A magnetic intersection of heritage and innovation, the 317 guest rooms—including 32 suites—unite signature offerings, like the signature W Bed, with top technology and glamorous décor reflective of a storied city energized by an economic explosion.
