Mandarin Oriental, Guangzhou

What the classifiers highlight

Rooms at Mandarin Oriental Guangzhou start around 646 square feet, the largest baseline in the city, with double sinks, rainforest showers and round tubs against dark herringbone hardwood floors. Jiang by Chef Fei serves Cantonese classics like char siu bao and ha gow. The five-star spa promises a pampering escape, all above the Taikoo Hui mall complex.
