Ben O'Brien checks into the W Guangzhou, China.
Location: The W occupies some prime real estate in downtown Tianhe, which is Guangzhou's main business district. It is just a quick stroll to some of the city's best sights.
What's in the neighbourhood? Some of Guangzhou's most striking architecture projects, the Guangdong Museum, the Guangzhou Library and the Guangzhou Opera House, as well as the incredible Huacheng Square and of course, plenty of shopping.
My room: A fire-themed Spectacular Design room (the base level rooms are called Wonderful Rooms), very well kitted out with everything you could ever want, and so much more you never knew you needed, including blue toilet paper.
Bathroom: Double basins, a walk in rainfall shower and a generously sized bathtub with built-in TV.
