What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Public spaces ooze refined elegance, especially in the lobby and the fourth-floor club bar.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Qiandeng Lake sits right outside, where paved trails follow the canal past quiet parkland and glowing evening bridges.
The rooms
Rooms look across Qiandeng Lake through floor-to-ceiling windows, and bathrooms come with deep soaking tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 30-meter pool lined with blue mosaic tiles sits on the podium terrace, fringed with loungers and parasols.
The spa & gym
Restaurant
Commune
A glass botanical terrarium sits beneath bronze arches, and live cooking stations prepare Cantonese specialties and fresh seafood.
At the table
Canal Luna serves Cantonese banquets across nine private dining salons, hung with tiered crystal chandeliers and ornate red tassels.
How it began
Poly Real Estate built the tower as Foshan's first international luxury hotel, staking out the canal before the surrounding financial district grew.
