In the end of Nov. I have spent a couple of nights in The Westin Pazhou.
They are just getting ready for the holiday season.
The weather on the day I arrived wasn't so bad. Not too cold yet but just bit foggy as any other cities in China. It rained in the evening of the second night and became chilly when I went out for dinner.

Bathroom with separate bath tub and shower with complimentary amenities
The guest room was very nice. Big enough, modern design with open bathroom space (it can be separated with sliding doors) and famous "Heavenly Bed" made me sleep like a baby!
One of the reasons I visited there was to see my old friend.
Chef Toshiyasu Uehara works in the hotel's signature restaurant "Mai" Japanese restaurant.
He is a great Japanese master chef who has opened this restaurant and many others in the five star luxury hotels.
Japanese restaurant "Mai, located on level 42. "

His restaurant is located on the 42nd floor of the hotel which provides excellent food and service, of course, and great view of Guangzhou skyline which creates special atmosphere.
The restaurant has sushi bar, teppanyaki counter, live open kitchen station and private dining room with teppanyaki counter other than usual dining area.
Function room on the 42nd floor with Guangzhou's skyline view
On the 42nd floor, besides "Mai" Japanese restaurant, there is a rooftop function space "The Panorama". Space with floor-to-ceiling windows and breath taking views of the Pearl River and Guangzhou City skyline.

The location of the hotel is perfect for the people who come on the business trip for the trade exhibitions but not so good for the ones come for sightseeing. Though, there is a MTR station which take you to anywhere in Guangzhou city, just outside of the hotel.
I didn't have much time for sightseeing anyway, so I didn't mind, as long as I could get confortable place to stay...
