Guangdong Hot Spring Hotel is definitely the most well-known hot spring hotel in the mind of "Old Guangzhou". In the early fifties of the last century, under the advocacy and planning of Ye Jianying, Fang Fang, Tao Zhu, etc., the second guest house of the Guangdong Provincial Government was established in Conghua, and was officially renamed "Guangdong Hot Spring Hotel" in 1962.
Guangdong Hot Spring Hotel is the earliest state-run hotel in Guangdong Province, and it is also one of the earliest reception and winter recuperation bases for the head of state in the country, which is as famous as Beidaihe and Lushan. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guangdong Hot Spring Hotel has successively received Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping, Ye Jianying and other Chinese leaders, as well as US President Nixon, Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh and other foreign heads of government.
Guangdong Hot Spring Hotel takes Liuxi River as the center, divided into two major areas of Hedong and Hexi, with a total area of 217323 square meters, a construction area of 30,925 square meters, more than 40 high-end villas and 262 guest rooms. The overall accommodation area is basically in the Hexi area. The accommodation area is divided into Songyuan District, Cuixi District, Orchid Garden District, and Lakeside Building. Songyuan District is a high-level recuperation area, with towering pines and gurgling water, and the establishment time is also the earliest. Among them, Songyuan No. 1 was built to receive Mao Zedong and received many foreign heads of state, but it is still closed to the public. If you choose to stay in Guangdong Hot Spring Hotel, it is recommended to choose the villa in the Orchid Garden District, because it was established relatively late, and it is relatively close to the open-air hot spring area, so it will be more convenient to soak in the hot spring.
There are a total of 11 hot spring pools in the Orchid Garden open-air hot spring area, which are small in number but have good water quality, and the hot spring water type is sodium bicarbonate water. The surroundings are very tranquil and will give people a sense of being away from home. The hot spring water can reach a maximum temperature of 71°C and can be poured directly into the bath in the guest room, so you can enjoy a high-quality hot spring experience even if you stay in your room.
There are many gaps between the hardware facilities of Guangdong hot spring hotels and today's hot spring resorts, but this kind of old sanatorium with a strong "guest house atmosphere" often occupies the best natural conditions early, making it difficult for latecomers to surpass. Today, it is no longer the exclusive enjoyment of senior cadres, and the decoration style of the last century has also become one of its unique features, attracting nostalgic customers to experience.
