Hello, we arrive at 5.55am and would like to check in to a hotel at the airport at that time for the day. Our flight leaves 19 hours later. Can anyone recommend a hotel please and thank you in advance

Arriving early in the morning at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) and needing accommodation for the day is a common situation. There are several airport hotels that cater to early check-ins, either for a few hours (day-use) or for a full day. Booking in advance and contacting the hotel directly is highly recommended to secure early check-in.

Options for airport hotels near Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport:

  • White Swan Hotel (Airport Branch): Offers early check-in options if contacted in advance. Known for good service and convenient airport transfer.
  • Pullman Guangzhou Baiyun Airport Hotel: Located within a short distance from the terminals, the hotel can accommodate early check-in for day-use, often with prior arrangement.
  • Howard Johnson Airport Hotel: Provides day-use rooms and early check-in; suitable for resting between long flights.
  • Hilton Guangzhou Baiyun Airport: A high-end option near the airport; early check-in is possible with advance notice, sometimes at an additional fee.

Tips for early check-in:

  • Always email or call the hotel ahead to request early check-in; not all hotels guarantee it without prior notice.
  • Consider booking a “day-use” room specifically if your stay is less than 12 hours.
  • Check if the hotel offers shuttle services to and from the terminal, which can save time if you are only staying for a short duration.
