I'll take a look in the ICH forum as well^
The taxi driver will most likely be very confused by such detailed directions. I would even strongly recommend not to do this - it will add a lot of confusion... Only a small map (printed on a business card) would help. Unfortunately, I can't find a Chinese business card of that hotel online (yet).

Give them the name and address including a phone number (in Chinese) and have the driver call the hotel for directions, if he doesn't know. That's the "way it works" in China

Edit: Ah, never mind, saw your post in the other forum. Will work with the business card they send you.
