What's it like staying at a castle hotel in the suburbs of Guangzhou?

This is the distinctive landmark of Star River Hotel – every property features a clock tower with a commercial street beneath it. Just documenting my workday.

The architecture showcases a European classical castle style while incorporating traditional Chinese construction techniques. The spatial design blends artistic and historical cultural elements.

Stepping into the lobby, you're greeted by beige marble floors, cascading crystal chandeliers, and symmetrical spiral marble staircases winding upwards – the entire space simply glitters.

✨ The hotel boasts Yiyi Western Restaurant and Zhenyue Chinese Restaurant. Must-tries at the Chinese restaurant include supreme shrimp dumplings, purple rice crispy shrimp rolls, and honey-glazed BBQ pork. Cantonese cuisine lovers rejoice – you'll literally eat until stuffed here! The lobby lounge offers delightful afternoon tea featuring fig tea, cold meat rolls, salmon tartlets, and prawn-cucumber rolls for pure gastronomic joy.

Abundant nearby attractions:
Chimelong Tourist Resort: Guangzhou's hotspot featuring heart-pounding rides at Chimelong Paradise, up-close animal encounters at Chimelong Safari Park, and the spectacular Chimelong International Circus that'll dazzle your senses.
