A renovated hotel in Guangzhou that is more suitable for accommodation
🏨 Guangzhou Shipai voco Hotel
🌟 Highlights:
The hotel officially opened at the beginning of last month, coinciding with the overall revitalization of the Shangxiajiu - Shipai area. The playful and energetic brand personality of voco, along with the flexible product renovation requirements, perfectly matched the owner's needs for hotel upgrading and renovation!
To enhance the hotel's competitiveness and optimize business channels, the owner chose to return to IHG and upgrade the hotel, turning it into today's Guangzhou Shipai voco!
❤ Recommended reason:
The lobby is located on the fourth floor of the hotel, where it is clearly visible that the hotel is really busy during the summer. The front desk area is bustling with people, but fortunately, the efficiency is quite high, and the check-in process was completed in less than five minutes!
🍽 Dining recommendation:
There are also the hotel's only two restaurants on the fourth floor, one of which is the Chinese restaurant Ziwai Guan. Its outdoor terrace area is very suitable for taking photos and checking in, with a strong Lingnan Xiguan atmosphere that makes for a high photo success rate!
🛏 Room facilities:
This time I stayed in a newly renovated third-level room, a 48㎡ Xiguan street view deluxe room. Although it was recently refurbished, there was not a hint of odor in the room, showing that the hotel's deodorization work was very thorough!
The layout of the room is very open, with floor tiles using Lingnan-style patterned bricks, and the lively voco style has rejuvenated this old hotel quite a bit, making the strong contrast of such a collision quite interesting.
The view outside the window is the old Xiguan streetscape, with densely packed buildings, as if returning to ten years ago!
The yellow and blue theme colors of voco fill the entire hotel, including the rooms, with the hotel's custom mugs and mini-bar cabinets looking very lively, and the mini-bar is free for the first round!
The bathroom is not large and is equipped with a bathtub, but it does not feel cramped, and the one-touch fogged glass is quite interesting!
👍 Most recommended:
The most photogenic spot in the hotel is probably the outdoor swimming pool on the top floor. It has a Xiguan style with a touch of European charm but is not large, and you can swim to the other side with just a kick. It is mainly convenient for families with children and for taking photos!
It's very beautiful on a sunny day, and you can take great photos without a filter. The hotel's gym is also next door. After staying at Guangzhou Shipai voco, I was pleasantly surprised!
The successful renovation of voco has transformed this 'old, broken, and small' place into a young hotel with a wonderfully whimsical spatial character and a relaxed and flexible design. Highly recommended for an experience!

The first VOCO hotel in South China, located at the heart of Liwan, Guangzhou
The first VOCO hotel in South China, located at the heart of Liwan, Guangzhou!
💖 The Guangzhou Shipai VOCO Hotel, which has been open for less than two months, is transformed from the former Guangzhou Shipai Holiday Hotel. It is the first VOCO brand hotel to open in South China and the Greater Bay Area. The hotel's renovation and upgrade provide better quality accommodation for business travelers, and its magnificent transformation also injects new vitality into the old city of Guangzhou.
❤ As the only international brand hotel in Liwan District of Guangzhou, Guangzhou Shipai VOCO enjoys a unique and superior location. The hotel is situated within the famous Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street in Liwan District, with a walking distance of about 5-8 minutes to attractions such as Yongqing Fang, Shamian, and the Cantonese Opera Museum. It takes only about ten minutes to drive to Litchi Bay and Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. In terms of public transportation, it is an 8-10 minute walk to four nearby subway stations that connect lines 1, 6, and 8, which is extremely convenient. The hotel is the best place to stay for exploring Lingnan culture, experiencing the local customs of Xiguan, and relaxing.
❤ The VOCO brand has the personal traits of being attentive, comfortable, and charmingly interesting, with the lemon yellow brand color adding a memorable touch. From the 'Joyful Welcome' at the front desk to the 'Private Time' in the rooms, and the 'Enjoyable Life' in the dining area, one can feel the affinity and vitality of the VOCO brand;
❤ The hotel's interior design is inspired by Xiguan mansions, arcades, blue bricks, Manchu windows, and wooden bars, cleverly integrating local culture and elements from the public areas to the restaurant and then to the guest rooms, filled with Lingnan charm;
❤ The hotel has a total of 293 luxurious guest rooms and suites with Lingnan cultural atmosphere, rooted in the culture of Xiguan in Guangzhou and blended with modern elements, creating a distinctive and unique comfortable resting experience. The single-bedroom suite I stayed in this time has a modern and stylish vibe, youthful and vibrant, not bad, with an area of 83 square meters. I also recommend staying in the Deluxe Xiguan Street View Room, Executive Room, etc., which combine the bright and simple signature colors of voco in decoration and furnishings, making the overall style younger and more energetic; the decorative paintings on the walls with voco mascot sparrows and Xiguan elements make the room more dynamic and charming;
❤ The hotel boasts a full-service restaurant 'TOCO café', a Chinese restaurant 'Shipai Xuan', a specialty flavor restaurant 'Ziwei Guan', and a lobby bar, with a rich dining experience. The full-service restaurant currently only offers buffet dinner on weekends (Friday-Sunday), with very affordable prices. The morning tea at the Chinese restaurant is very popular and bustling, and you might have to wait for a seat if you come for morning tea on the spur of the moment. Overall, the dining quality and reputation are quite good;
❤ The outdoor swimming pool on the 14th floor of the hotel is worth a visit. The overall design integrates Neo-Baroque and Gothic architectural styles, with simple design elements such as carvings, window grilles, and Roman columns to create a stylish, elegant, and unique space. The pool is heated to 27-29 degrees all year round, creating a city resort atmosphere.

NEWLY RENOVATED VOCO HOTEL GUANG ZHOU
Had a 5 days 4 nights stay at Voco Hotel (Guang Zhou). The room is clean and big, toilet is big (comes with bathtub). The super single bed is big enough to accommodate 2 person! But of course you can have it all by yourself too!
It comes with 2 types of pillow (firm and soft), so you can pick what you like!
The beverages in the mini fridge were all included. The cleaner lady was so nice to give us extra bottles of mineral water daily!
The gym and pool is located at level 14, small but enough for my daily simple workout.
Shang Xia Jiu walking street is just a stone throw away from the hotel. There are also local market nearby, good for those who likes to have a taste of the local ambience.
However there’s no big shopping mall nearby, have to take a taxi from the hotel.
Overall good experience.
