Hotel Indigo GUANGZHOU HAIXINSHA by IHG

Had a short but very satisfying one-night stay at the Indigo! The front desk made check-in a breeze and even helped arrange a room in Building 5, which was really unique and had a small balcony. The room itself was fantastic, and they even left some thoughtful snacks. It was raining when we left, but someone kindly helped us with an umbrella and even drove us to the parking lot in a buggy, which was a really nice touch! Looking forward to staying again!

Both the elderly and children absolutely loved this hotel! The INDIGO design style is fantastic. It truly is a resort-style hotel right in the city center – lively yet peaceful. The hotel is a renovated former dormitory building, so the space isn't huge, but it's very comfortable. The natural environment is excellent, and you can even go to the hotel's bird-watching platform to see egrets. We discovered this hidden gem of a photo spot the next morning; it's even more beautiful at night! Even though it's on Haixinsha, the hotel's vintage car shuttle makes transportation very convenient. The night view is stunning! We were very satisfied with the hotel's dining. While the breakfast selection wasn't vast, they had freshly made steamed rice rolls, which definitely deserves a thumbs up! 👍👍👍

The hotel has a great location with nice views, and you can see the Canton Tower from the balcony. The staff were also very welcoming. The main issue was that the air conditioning was too noisy, which made it hard to sleep. But if you turned it off, it got too hot.

My parents and I returned to Guangzhou for Chinese New Year, and this time we chose the Indigo, an IHG hotel. It's nestled in a quiet part of Haixinsha Park East, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the bustle. As soon as you step out, you're greeted by views of the 'Canton Tower' (Xiao Man Yao) and the sparkling nightscape of Zhujiang New Town. Flower City Square, Guangzhou Opera House, Guangdong Museum, and Liede Street are all within walking distance. Cross Haixin Bridge, and you're directly at the Canton Tower on the opposite bank. The hotel's design concept is fantastic, and the room layout is well-thought-out. The entire hotel is infused with vibrant Lingnan art elements and unique color schemes. The lobby features a Haixinsha-inspired design and a classic vintage car from the Republic of China era. During our stay for Chinese New Year, the festive decorations added to the wonderful atmosphere. The front desk staff were incredibly nice and efficient during check-in. We arrived early, and our room wasn't ready yet, but they kindly stored our luggage for free. We received a call shortly after to let us know our room was prepared. The room itself was spacious with a very comfortable sofa and unique throw pillows. The bedding was cozy, and the hotel thoughtfully provided complimentary Lingnan-style pastries. The mini-fridge was stocked with three different flavors of Asia brand soda, which brought back childhood memories. I was delighted to find a De'Longhi kettle – a brand I love! The room's facilities were also very modern: the TV could swivel, was high-definition, supported screen mirroring, and had a USB port. A Marshall speaker was also provided, offering excellent sound! The bathtub was fantastic too! When I booked, I specifically requested a quiet corner room, and they certainly honored that. With the curtains drawn and the balcony door closed, it was the perfect sanctuary for an introvert to spend a week. The hotel isn't a traditional high-rise; instead, it comprises several separate smaller buildings set amidst beautiful surroundings with many large trees. There were even birds nesting in the trees, making it a truly charming place I'd love to revisit. The breakfast offered a great selection of Cantonese dim sum and dishes. The staff were exceptionally attentive; seeing we had elderly parents with us, they thoughtfully and proactively helped us select suitable local specialties. In the elevator, there were clear indications of peak times for the restaurant (comfortable, few people, busy), allowing guests to plan their visit accordingly. While the variety at the restaurant might not be extensive, it covered both Chinese and Western options, including traditional Guangzhou delicacies. Even the coffee machines were modern capsule types.

The room has a distinctive Lingnan style, and you can enjoy views of the Canton Tower without even leaving. The hotel's location is fantastic, right next to Haixinsha Park.

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic. The Canton Tower feels within arm's reach, and the Pearl River flows right by the doorstep. Plus, it's within walking distance to a bustling commercial district with towering buildings. What's more, it offers a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. The hotel itself is a self-contained oasis, like a small park, with an abundance of trees, flowers, and lush greenery. You don't even need to leave the hotel to enjoy beautiful scenery.
