Atour Hotel Dongguan Humen Avenue

Humen is where a Qing official publicly destroyed over a million kilograms of seized opium in 1839, an act that touched off the First Opium War, and the museum marking that site is a short walk from this mid-range hotel on the main avenue. Atour is a Chinese brand known for running a tight ship: warm-toned rooms, courtyard-facing options, a rooftop gym, and service that tends to actually show up.
