Hotel's translated name

I just made a booking (for tomorrow), but the name of the hotel was given in Cantonese and the direct translated name doesn't seem to find me anything.

So the name I was given is Guangdong Hotel which should be Canton Hotel I would presume, but can't find anything by that name.

So which hotel is that referring to?

What I tend to ask the agent is to give me the number of the hotel so I can call their front desk to ask for their address.

No, its Guangdong hotel - the problem though is that there are a whole bunch of Guangdong hotels in Hong Kong and Kowloon.  You gotta know which Guangdong hotel!!


Canton is only used for the Canton trade Fair, and perhaps by some of the old British colonialists!
It's how the British used to translate Kwang Tung (which Was another way to translate it) province - which is nowadays translated to Guangdong.

Good luck!

Since names of hotels can't be mentioned in this forum the purpose of this thread becomes irrelevant.

sorry this thread is now closed !

note:  get the agent to give you the hotel's tel number !
