Not sure someone has better info than I have been able to find out...trying to find a more firm opening date...

Hotel: Beijing Marriott Hotel Central

per Marriott website "March 2014", though no inventory available. I see "null" when I go to book. I called Marriott's Plat line and they didn't have any better information other than it WAS slated for "Jan 2014". Just "keep checking back"...currently locked in City Wall.

In short, I have a trip for March 2-9 and would prefer to stay at the newer hotel but also a little worried even if it does open in time, it'll be constant banging and clanging b/c it isn't "finished" finished.

Thanks in advance for any help/knowledge.


p.s.
also, is this best hotel for sight-seeing? Seems fairly close to Tienanmen Square. and Forbidden City...
