About TaiKoo Hui Guangzhou
Taikoo Hui Guangzhou is a multi-use complex made up of a substantial indoor retail mall alongside two Grade-A office towers, serviced apartments, a cultural centre, and a five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel. It is managed by Hong Kong based Swire Properties.
The property was designed by the American architecture firm Arquitectonica, and its scale is significant, around 358,000 square metres across the development. The overall feel is contemporary and polished, aimed at shopping, dining, and spending time indoors, which can be appealing in Guangzhou’s humid or rainy weather.
Because it sits in Tianhe District, it is also well placed for combining with other central Guangzhou activities, such as business meetings, city shopping, or an evening meal.
