Guangzhou International Finance Center Building

Address: Zhujiang New Town / Tianhe District, Guangzhou, China

Guangzhou International Finance Center is a major mixed-use skyscraper in the Zhujiang New Town central business district of Guangzhou, completed in 2010 and noted for housing both office space and a luxury hotel.

Inside the tower visitors encounter corporate offices, hotel facilities and ground-level retail and dining; the building is one of several tall towers that define the Zhujiang New Town skyline.

The project was developed as part of Guangzhou’s rapid CBD expansion in the 2000s to accommodate multinational firms, financial services and upscale hospitality.

Located in Tianhe District’s Zhujiang New Town area, the tower sits amid other high-rise developments and is connected to the city’s transport network and nearby commercial amenities.

• Completion and hotel: Completed in 2010, the tower is a prominent feature of Guangzhou’s modern skyline and houses a Five-Star hotel on its upper floors.

What to See#

• Office floors and hotel: A mixed-use high-rise containing office floors and a luxury hotel occupying the upper levels, with retail and lobby spaces at ground level.
• Zhujiang New Town location: The tower sits within Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou’s central business district, alongside other landmark high-rises and commercial developments.

City-centre location: Guangzhou International Finance Center (Guangzhou IFC) is in the Zhujiang New Town CBD (Tianhe District). It’s within a short walk of the Zhujiang New Town and Liede metro stations on the Guangzhou Metro (check local maps for the best exit). By road it’s a drive of roughly 40-50 km from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (around 45-60 minutes depending on traffic) via the city expressways; taxis and city metro are the usual ways to reach the towers from elsewhere in Guangzhou.

• Visit Zhujiang New Town and the Guangzhou International Finance Center around late afternoon into sunset for the best skyline and Pearl River light-dusk gives the most striking views.
• Enter the building through the main lobby and plan to use hotel restaurants or bars near the top floors if you want elevated river and city views-many visitors stick to ground-level promenade areas and miss upper‑floor vantage points.
• Combine a trip to the IFC with a stroll along the nearby riverside promenade and Haixinsha Island to see the tower in context and avoid concentrating only on the immediate commercial mall area.
