Hilton^[1][2] Foshan officially opened 18 March 2014 (Guandian report, with five restaurants and bars). Yuxi (likely 御玺 Chinese restaurant) is not named in the opening report, so its date is inferred from the hotel and it may have been relaunched or renamed since. Estimated: the exact day 2014-03-18 comes from a proxy source (registration, announcement or hotel opening) and is not a confirmed opening day.
