Bringing five-star luxury to Guangzhou's emerging Pearl River New City, the Ritz-Carlton Guangzhou features posh rooms with marble baths, a smattering of international restaurants and bars, and a swank spa. In addition to its hundreds of standard guest rooms, the Ritz offers 35 suites and 58 club-level rooms — all of which feature featherbeds draped with gentle Egyptian cotton linens. After a day of exploring the city, rest your tender soles at the spa, which pampers guests with treatments such as aqua therapy beds and a wet lounge with a sauna. Pros: In-house Terra restaurant offers unique cuisine; Churchill Bar offers fine cognacs and cigars. Cons: During the seasonal Canton Fairs during April and October, the city's hotel occupancy is heavily impacted; booking early is paramount.
