In celebration of its 40th anniversary, China Hotel underwent a comprehensive brand visual upgrade. Building on the iconic red lantern of its brand, the hotel launched a special 40th-anniversary logo and introduced brand mascots ‘Lantern Boy’ and ‘Lantern Girl.’

The hotel also began an upgrade and restoration of its exterior walls six months ago. In March, the newly renovated 1,300-square-meter main facade was unveiled, featuring a gilded mural depicting the prosperous Maritime Silk Road with 4,800 grams of gold leaf. This mural, originally created by master sculptor Pan He, is an important cultural symbol.

Designated one of Guangzhou’s first historic buildings in 2014, China Hotel has integrated its renovations with the cultural fabric of Guangzhou. The hotel continues the deep relationship between itself and the city. Aligning with its central business and leisure positioning, it blends elements of ‘Rooted in Guangzhou + Welcoming the World.’
