Marriott Opens Landmark Guangzhou Marriott Hotel Tianhe

---

Marriott International recently opened Guangzhou Marriott Hotel Tianhe in China's third largest city, the latest addition to the company's signature Marriott Hotels & Resorts brand. Ideally located in the center of Tianhe Business District, Guangzhou Marriott Hotel Tianhe is adjacent to Pearl River New City - home to the majority of Guangzhou's international companies and a growing tourist hub.

"With its unbeatable location on Tianhe Road and Marriott International's commitment to delivering exceptional service, we expect Guangzhou Marriott Hotel Tianhe to raise the benchmark for upscale accommodations in this key region," said Henry Lee, Senior Vice President for Marriott International in Greater China. "The popularity of the Marriott Hotels & Resorts brand continues to grow in China, and we are delighted to partner with Guangzhou Grandview Enterprise Co. Ltd, the hotel's owning company, to strengthen our presence in the country's third-largest city with this landmark new opening."

Featuring deluxe city views, four unique dining destinations and 895 square meters of multifunctional event space, the hotel has been carefully designed to cater to the needs of the region's discerning event professionals, as well as business and leisure travelers.

Guangzhou Marriott Hotel Tianhe's 319 well-appointed guest rooms and suites offer plug-and-play laptop connectivity with television, high-speed wireless and wired Internet and premium bath essentials.

There are three expansive atriums located in the hotel, providing a relaxed meeting point for guests above Tianhe's bustling city center. The Health Club and heated indoor pool also offer guests the perfect opportunity to unwind.

"An oasis of calm in a busy city, Guangzhou Marriott Hotel Tianhe showcases the world-class amenities, service and design for which Marriott Hotels & Resorts is famous," said Alain Po, General Manager. "We are confident in our ability to promote both the hotel and destination to local and international travelers."

The hotel's four dining options are destinations in themselves. Man Ho, the hotel's signature restaurant, serves authentic Cantonese cuisine using only the freshest ingredients from the Pearl River Delta, as well as native ingredients that are characteristic of the Guangdong province's rich countryside.

Guests can enjoy local and international flavors at City Bistro, an all-day dining restaurant set to impress with its lavish fresh seafood buffet and seasonal à la carte offerings. Fresh coffee, pastries and bites-to-go are also available at Java+, while the fifth floor's The Lounge provides an elegant setting for guests to enjoy afternoon tea or an evening cocktail.

The hotel is conveniently located within five minutes to Guangzhou East Railway Station and 15 minutes to Guangzhou Pazhou International Exhibition Center.

Additionally, Grandview Mall is next door - one of Asia's largest shopping centers - where guests can delight in more than 750 shops, restaurants, and entertainment facilities, including an indoor ice skating rink, 3D cinema and arcade games center.

Marriott Hotels & Resorts is Marriott International's signature and most widely distributed brand, with more than 500 hotels and resorts in 54 countries.
