Four Points by Sheraton Guangzhou, Dongpu

Four Points by Sheraton Guangzhou, Dongpu Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Four Points by Sheraton Guangzhou, Dongpu, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical business hotel. The lobby has that polished Sheraton feel, but there’s something more relaxed about the atmosphere here — maybe it’s the way staff actually seem to remember returning guests (and honestly, there are quite a few of them). Located in Guangzhou’s Dongpu area, this five-star property sits in what I’d call the sweet spot between the city’s bustling center and the quieter residential neighborhoods.

The Dongpu Advantage

You know what’s great about staying in Dongpu? You’re close enough to everything that matters — the Canton Fair complex, major shopping areas, business districts — but you’re not dealing with the constant noise and chaos of downtown. The hotel’s position on Jing Ying Road means you can actually get a decent night’s sleep, which is harder to find than you’d think in a city this size. Couples seem to get this location particularly well (they rate it 8.7, and I can see why) — there’s something nice about having space to breathe while still being connected.

Luxury That Actually Works

The room I stayed in had that refined Sheraton quality without feeling stuffy. Everything worked properly — and I mean everything, from the air conditioning that actually cooled the space to the shower pressure that didn’t disappoint. The beds are genuinely comfortable, not just hotel-marketing comfortable. What struck me was the attention to details that business travelers and leisure guests both appreciate: plenty of outlets, good lighting for reading, and blackout curtains that actually block out the light.

Breakfast Worth Getting Up For

The breakfast spread here is honestly impressive — they’ve got the international bases covered with Continental and American options, but the Asian selections are where they really shine. Fresh congee, proper dim sum items, and local Guangzhou specialties that change seasonally. The vegetarian options aren’t just an afterthought either, which is refreshing. It’s served buffet-style in their main restaurant, and the space gets good natural light in the mornings, making it feel less like a hotel dining room and more like somewhere you’d actually want to linger.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

There’s free parking on-site, which might not sound like a big deal until you’ve tried to park anywhere else in Guangzhou — then it becomes a genuine luxury. But what really sets this place apart is the consistency. The staff recognize repeat visitors, the service maintains the same standard whether you’re staying one night or five, and the property feels well-maintained without being overly precious about it. It’s the kind of hotel where business travelers can get work done efficiently, couples can enjoy a comfortable stay, and everyone can count on things working the way they should. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need in a city as dynamic as Guangzhou.
