The best hotels in Huizhou for every kind of traveller

Situated at the eastern edge of the Greater Bay Area’s 11 official megacities, Huizhou occupies a quieter corner of Guangdong Province. That geographic position shapes the city’s character, lending it a slower rhythm and a stronger connection to its natural surroundings. 
 
Time moves more slowly in this serene natural escape, a city renowned for pagodas and historic bridges that dot its interconnected lakes. Chief among them is Huizhou West Lake, a blissful body of water as tranquil as Hangzhou’s famous West Lake. Then there’s Mount Luofu, one of the Chinese Mainland’s most significant Taoist mountains. 

While all of this is true, Huizhou is still a Greater Bay Area megacity – a manufacturing hub home to around 6.2 million people – so for all its scenic charms, you won’t be short of modern malls, conveniences and the following luxury hotels. 

Where to stay in Huizhou

Crowne Plaza Huizhou 

Best for: nature views 

East of the action, surrounded by trees and bordering the green space of the Shuikou Culture & Sports Center, Crowne Plaza Huizhou is an ideal space to unwind while remaining within easy reach of the city centre. The sleek 28-storey building is surrounded by mellow gardens and rock-lined waterways, and offers access to a full, off-site 18-hole golf course. Signature restaurants include the classy Ishiyama Japanese Cuisine and Noble Court Chinese.

Grand Skylight International Hotel Huizhou

Best for: a river retreat   

Head a few minutes north of the city, cross the Danshui River and you’ll find the Grand Skylight International Hotel Huizhou. The hotel sits on a quiet waterside patch, unperturbed by other high-rises, with its grand pool offering views south across the water to the parkland surrounding Santaizi Palace. The building itself is worth admiring from the other side – a sweeping S-shaped silver structure modelled on a dragon, housing more than 300 curved rooms. Extras include a private karaoke (KTV) room to relax after a busy day, whether spent sightseeing or in meetings. 

Hilton Huizhou

Best for: luxury in the heart of the city  

For a five-star stay in the heart of the city, Hilton Huizhou certainly delivers. Huamao Place Mall, China Central Place, China Overseas Plaza and Rongcan IFC are all on your doorstep, making shopping, dining, meeting and greeting all a breeze. Naturally, it offers all the comfort and convenience the iconic hotel brand is known for, including a business suite, a brightly coloured kids’ room and a modern gym. Onsite dining includes the extensive Chinese and international buffet restaurant KitchenCraft, as well as the 27th-floor Heron lounge. Don’t miss the chance to take a dip in the infinity pool, where staggering skyline views stretch out towards the Dongjiang River.

Pullman Huizhou Kaisa 

Best for: work-life balance  

The Pullman brand is known for blending business and leisure, making work a joy amid a distinctive design aesthetic. The Huizhou hotel is ideally situated on the upper floors of the centrally located, 60-storey Kaisa Huizhou building, which means two things: great city views, and boundless convenience, with easy access to malls and commerce alike. Open, inviting lobbies make great places for meetings, planned or otherwise, while modular meeting rooms can switch from formal presentation spaces to party hubs in seconds.

Renaissance Huizhou Hotel 

Best for: urban explorers 

The sleek design, central location and enticing rooftop bar are all reasons the Renaissance Huizhou Hotel ticks the boxes for busy urbanites wanting to make the most of their time in the city. The tone for your stay is set by the chic decor and dynamic art that set the lobby apart. While housed inside a large skyscraper, the hotel also boasts knockout views. Meanwhile, lengthy stays won’t feel predictable, with no less than four different dining options on-site.  

Sheraton Huizhou Bailuhu

Best for: family fun 

Get away from it all at Sheraton Huizhou Bailuhu , a sprawling waterside resort located next to the bucolic beauty of West Lake. Rooms boast either lake or garden views, with ground-floor suites opening straight into the surrounding greenery. The property boasts a huge outdoor infinity pool for lounging long afternoons away, while the huge ballroom and ornate public spaces lend themselves to special events.
