The White Swan Hotel ({{zh|s=白天鹅宾馆|t=白天鵝賓館 |p=báitiān'é bīnguǎn|j=baak6 tin1 ngo4 ban1 gun2}}) is a 28-story luxury hotel in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, located on Shamian Island, overlooking the Pearl River and facing the White Swan Pool. The hotel is reached by its own private {{convert|635|m}} causeway.

History

The hotel opened on February{{nbsp}}6, 1983. It was built by Hong Kong businessman Fok Ying-tung. Located on the Cantonese equivalent of Dejima of pearl-rich Nagasaki in Japan (Exit Island in Japanese), the Hotel`s surroundings are rich in history of the Merchant houses incorporated in the Nations of the "Great Powers" and Holland; often attributed to have been the greatest force of modernisation in East-Asia. The colonial-era buildings are within easy walking-distance, and are a quaint reminder of Guangzou`s historical multiculturalism.

The hotel was built by Fok Ying-tung on Shamian Island for political reasons, and the hotel soon after hosted Hu Yaobang, Zhao Ziyang and Deng Xiaoping.[1]

In the early 2000s, after 20 years of private operations, the hotel was handed out to the Chinese government. The hotel now belongs to The Ministry of Land and Resources of People's Republic of China]].[1]

The hotel closed down for renovations during three years and reopened on July 15, 2015.

Description

The hotel has 520 rooms and suites. The White Swan's Jade River Restaurant, with its garden decor, is noted for its Cantonese cuisine.{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}}

Many American families who adopt children from China stay at the White Swan while in Guangzhou awaiting visa paperwork. A children's story book[2]

is based on this.[3]

The Guangzhou White Swan Hotel has received over 40 heads of state and government, including :

  • Dear Leader Kim Jong Il[4]
  • Queen Elizabeth II[5]
  • President George W. Bush[1]
  • Chancellor Helmut Kohl
