Cordis Foshan Lingnan Tiandi

Excellent hotel in a perfect location – also, great for Shabbat observers! Stayed at Cordis Foshan for the weekend and had a great experience. The room was spacious, modern and very clean. Staff were professional and helpful. The hotel is only a 4-minute walk from Lingnan Tiandi, a beautiful cultural and shopping area. Also a good option for Shabbat observers – once you learn the walking route to Chabad (don’t rely on Google or Apple Maps), it’s quite close and manageable on foot. Breakfast was also excellent. Highly recommended!

I returned to this hotel after 2 months. Hotel is just a right 5 stars, clean, good smelling, good friendly staff. Food has improved. Room service is nice. Well done. Love it!

Stayed 2N in a Club Deluxe King Room (buffet breakfast incl), overlooking the Ancestral Temple area and Lingnan Tiandi pedestrian area. Room is very spacious (Club rooms are at top 2 levels, 15 and 16, with Club Lounge on 15). Pro > Room is very new, including electric bidet in toilet, and usb a / c charging ports on both sides of bed > Location is 5min walk southwest to Ancestral Temple entrance (Wong Fei Hung Memorial, Ip Man Hall - fyi, passport equiv identification required to purchase tickets, even online) and 3min (via hotel back entrance) to Lingnan Tiandi pedestrian shopping street > Slightly Club privilege (afternoon tea (1430 - 1630) had limited items, happy hour (1700 - 2000) had better spread and more alcohol choices) > Breakfast @ Lvl 3 (0630 - 1030) spread is good, with live cooking stations > 10min walk to other shopping areas eg Nova plaza, 八图里 (Shake Shack); 清暉园 Qing Hui Yuan (a curated garden with seasonal flora) is about 45mins drive away Con > We arrived with 3 pieces of large luggage, our driver called out to a staff (who was sweeping the road 10m away), but was roundly ignored. We let the staff focus on the important road sweeping task at hand, so we unloaded on our own. > Shower room only has 1 lever to control both water temperature and pressure at same time (which means you can only have hot and strong water flow, or cold and weak flow). The water pressure is also not strong enough, and the rainshower shows (ie water is not continuous, comes out in spurts). Handheld spray is also non standard / long form. All in, rather lacking shower experience given quality of other room amenities > In room smart TV is hit and miss, sometimes the cable service works, sometimes it doesn't Cordis is a great base to explore Foshan, especially for couples. PS Daily martial arts and liondance showcase at Ancestral Temple starts at 10am, for a 40min duration (next 2 shows in afternoon around 2pm and 4pm), suggest you get your tickets in advance (CNY4 / pax), and reach the area by 0930 (for front row seats).
