The Shangri-La Hotel, Guangzhou - available on a package deal from Hong Kong.

Deal of the week

Westminster Travel’s Weekend Through Train Travel Package to Guangzhou offers an economical short break over the border, with prices starting from only HK$570 per person, twin share. As well as one first-class, round-trip train ticket from Kowloon, this price includes a night at the Rosedale Hotel & Suites. Recent TripAdvisor reviews range from “Convenient, clean hotel, great location” to “Old, smelly and smoky”, but at that price, you can’t be too fussy.

Further up the ladder, more familiar names include the Hilton Tianhe (from HK$870), the Shangri-La Hotel, Guangzhou (from HK$940) and the Mandarin Oriental (from HK$1,320). For more hotel choices, train schedules and other information about this deal (which will be available until the end of September), go to www.westminstertravel.com and click through the Packages menu.
