I checked out the lobby of both the Marriott and the CY a few weeks ago.

I know it is partially a matter of expectations. I was a lot more impressed by the CY than the Marriott. The lobby is a lot more grand than the Marriott.

If you take the Metro, the CY is actually more convenient as it sits on top of the Metro (and Regular Rail and the High Speed Rail). The Marriott is 3-4 blocks from the Metro. The CY location is less developed but give it a few years.

Neither is in the City Center like the Sheraton, Westin, W or Le Meridien, The Metro ride from the CY stop (Nangang) to the W/Le Meridien (City Hall) stop is 8 minutes and Sheraton (Shandao Temple) is 16 minutes.

The CY is operated by the same company as the Westin.
