As business travel increased frequently, a new form of Guangzhou hotels - Business Mansions & Apartments has emerged to better address the long-stay and homesick issue. Compared to other Guangzhou hotels, Mansions & Apartments have kitchen facilities, lounge, dinning table, sofa etc to create convenience and home feeling. And they are less expensive then luxury type of hotel. The downside of Mansions & Apartments is you won’t get the high-class feel that luxury hotels offer in terms of environment and decoration. Business Travellers usually won’t care too much as long as its convenient and cost-effective.
