Omer, your itinerary will be definitely covered by 24 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. Since you plan to exit the airport in order to rest in the hotel, you will have to apply for a temporary entry permit upon your landing in Guangzhou. So, immediately upon your landing the first thing that you will do will be to approach 24/240 hour visa free transit counter where you will present your flight itinerary and your hotel booking accommodation. The length of your layover is somehow the borderline case where the Chinese authorities may or may not decide in your favor. In any case, it is important to understand the fact that the issuing of the temporary entry permit is not a passenger's right, but a bonus that is offered based on discretionary decision to those with long layovers, disabled passengers and those with small children. In any case, you should try and hopefully it will be resolved in your favor, although you can expect both outcomes. In the case of the negative outcome, you will just wait for your next flight in the transit zone of Guangzhou airport. I wish you a pleasant journey.
