A pioneer of luxury hospitality in China, The LN Garden Hotel Guangzhou marks its 40th anniversary this year with a renewed vision that blends heritage, design, and lifestyle in the very heart of the city.
Four Decades of Hospitality
Since its debut in 1985, The LN Garden Hotel Guangzhou has stood as one of Guangzhou’s defining addresses.
Designed under the influence of legendary architect I.M. Pei, the property marries the elegance of Lingnan gardens with sleek, contemporary lines.
From the very beginning, it set a new benchmark for five-star service in China, welcoming visiting heads of state, world leaders, and generations of travelers from across the globe.
Its award-winning restaurants have cultivated a loyal following.
At the same time, the hotel itself has earned an affectionate reputation as the city’s living room— a cherished venue for celebrations, family milestones, and cultural gatherings.
With more than 21,000 square meters of landscaped gardens and ten distinctive dining venues, The LN Garden Hotel Guangzhou continues to showcase Guangzhou’s rich traditions alongside its evolving culinary and cultural tastes.
Heritage Meets Innovation
The LN Garden Hotel Guangzhou is not only a guardian of history, but also a curator of it.
In 2022, it unveiled China’s first hospitality-themed museum, a 1,600-square-meter space dedicated to the stories of the hotel, the city, and the wider industry.
Bringing together exhibitions, research, and cultural retail, the museum offers visitors a distinctive perspective on Guangzhou’s centuries-old role as a hub of commerce, creativity, and exchange.
Recent renovations have infused guest rooms and public areas with a modern Lingnan aesthetic.
The acclaimed Peach Blossom Restaurant continues to delight epicures with menus inspired by seasonal and locally sourced ingredients while service innovations, such as mobile banquet experiences, offer new flexibility in hosting, tailored to guests’ individual needs.
The Garden Club — A Lifestyle Destination
Marking its 40th year, the hotel has introduced The Garden Club, a nearly 1,000-square-meter lifestyle hub developed in collaboration with TaeTea Group’s Jiamingtang.
Far more than a traditional hotel facility, it integrates wellness, culture, and social connection under one roof.
Guests and members can relax in saunas, hot and cold plunge pools, and a Pilates studio; find stillness in a meditation room; explore a contemporary art gallery; or connect over a drink at the whisky bar or in the outdoor lounge.
The Garden Club positions the hotel as a vibrant cornerstone of Guangzhou’s lifestyle scene.
Looking Ahead
From its beloved mascots Huahua and Yuanyuan—now part of the official Guangzhou Gifts collection — to its role as host of major international conferences, The LN Garden Hotel Guangzhou continues to grow alongside the city it calls home.
As it enters its fifth decade, the company is investing in design, dining, and cultural experiences that resonate with today’s discerning travelers while honoring its legacy.
For generations of Guangzhou residents, The LN Garden Hotel Guangzhou has been more than a place to stay — it is a symbol of the city’s hospitality, elegance, and openness.
Forty years on, it remains a landmark that looks back with pride and forward with creativity, ready to script the next chapter of its story.
