In the Clouds, a Steed Arrives: Celebrate the Year of the Horse at Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou

Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou extends an invitation to welcome the energetic Year of the Horse with a celebration, high above the city, where ancient myth meets contemporary elegance.

Inspired by the mythical “Tian Ma” (Heavenly Horse) from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Hotel unveils a captivating art installation on its 70th floor lobby. This celestial steed, a symbol of boundless freedom, enduring peace, and good fortune, is re-imagined with contemporary aesthetics. The winged horse appears to soar through stylized clouds and bursts of celebratory fireworks, set against a backdrop of rolling mountains, creating a modern interpretation of a classic landscape painting.

This artistic centrepiece is a poetic exploration of the Horse, the 2026 Chinese zodiac sign that symbolizes vitality, success, and an upward, driving spirit in Chinese culture. It carries these universal aspirations into the Hotel's festive activities, where the spirit of renewal and good fortune continues through a vibrant schedule of events for all ages.

The festivities commence on Chinese New Year's Day (February 17, 2026) with a spectacular southern lion dance performance weaving through the Hotel’s public spaces from 9:00 am, bringing traditional blessings and lively energy. From February 17 to 23, the 70th floor lobby transforms into a cultural salon each afternoon. Guests can witness the art of calligraphy with live demonstrations, watch masterful sugar painting, or participate in a workshop to craft their own traditional sachet.

Young guests are invited to their own world of fun at Four Seasons Kids Paradise. Throughout February, enjoy family films at Four Seasons Cinema, while Kids Corner offers table football and table tennis. From February 16 to 23, Sunny Corner will hold creative a DIY Class featuring traditional paper cutting and red packet rubbing, and Caffe Mondo in inviting young guests to join the Little Chef cooking class, ensuring festive engagement for the entire family.
