Leeky, I will go to both Shanghai and Hangzhou. I will stay in Shanghai for 3 nights and Hangzhou for 1 night.
I just need to pick which hotel I should use my cat 5 certificate. I will stay at either Marriott or SPG properties using points on the nights that I don't use my certificate.
Since you have stayed at both hotels, which one do you prefer?

Plats are entitled to suites if staying for 3, or less nights, applicable to both properties.
Exec Lounges offer std items. If going over to Shanghai try to get into the library (some call it the Harry Potter exit) on top of the JW lounge as the view of the city at night is worth the price of a drink.
JW Hangzhou has a great dim sum restaurant.
