Once public side side with luggage, follow the signs for “Hotel” or “Metro” and you should end up in a long corridor called “Wuzhou Middle Path” which connects Terminal 1 to Terminal 2. Half way along this walkway, follow the Hotel sign which should lead to a lift, go up and you will arrive outside the Da Zhong Airport Hotel, which is slap, bang in between the two terminals. It is a very strange design and only the end points of the North or South wings will give views of all the runways.
As we arrived late, we had no choice of rooms but the staff did try to help. Four of the rooms (8743, 8745, 8758 & 8760) in the South wing, faced North towards the closed walkway that used to connect the North & South Wings. This gave views of departures to the North as they came off runways 34L/34R & 35L/35R, but you couldn’t see any arrivals. When we checked back in two days later, we were earlier and so was able to request rooms 8800, 8801, 8802 & 8806 which are in the South facing bit of the South wing. From those you can see all arrivals on runways 34L/34R & 35L/35R and some departures if they climbed quickly enough. If the wind direction changes, you’d see all departures instead. I booked “Superior standard room (south)” through trip.com. You need level 7 or 8 to be able to see over the terminal buildings…..
8th floor room numbers 8803, 8805, 8807, 8809, 8811, 8813, 8815, 8817, 8819, 8821, 8823, 8825, 8827, 8829, 8831, 8833, 8835, 8837, 8839 & 8841 would give views to the East of 16L/16R & 34L/34R, looking out over Terminal 2. 7th floor room numbers on this side are the same but 87** (odds)
8th floor room numbers 8808, 8810, 8812, 8816, 8818, 8820, 8822, 8826, 8828, 8830, 8832, 8836, 8838, 8840, 8842, 8846, 8848, 8850, 8852 & 8856 would give views to the West of 17L/17R & 35L/35R, looking out over Terminal 1. 7th floor room numbers on this side are the same but 87** (evens)
