Sheraton Hotel in Guilin is a brand name that is well-known in Europe and America. But what makes this hotel a good choice in Guilin, is the location. Ideally located in the centre of Guilin, on the riverfront, it gives you the opportunity to enjoy the Chinese daily life. Being one of the first 5-star hotels in Guilin, it was designed on its American brand model – the high foyer and glass elevators that goes up with lobby views, water fountains and marble floors.
The hotel has over 400 newly renovated rooms, including 17 suites. The standard rooms are gorgeous, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden or the river. There are massive flat-screen TVs and bathrooms with rain-forest showers, a deep-soaking bathtub, and a centrally-located floating wash basin. Elegant Rooms overlook the garden and swimming pool, while Premium Rooms have tranquil Li River vistas. Rooms on the club floor offers rooftop seating with mountain views.
Apart from the attraction of visiting the scene of HSBC's cormorant fishing advertisement, I came here to see something of rural Guilin's countryside. Particularly the Miao villages that lie about two hours’ drive from Guilin and take a cruise along the Li River to see the Yangshuo Karst limestone scenery. But when it comes to finding a luxury hotel in Guilin, there isn’t much choice. The Sheraton hotel meets the mark.
