For PH Beijing, I think you can use C+P to book the Deluxe Suite for 9,000 points + Cash (c. 1700-1900 RMB).
They have 3 Deluxe Suites, all on the 60th Floor (Room # 6002, 6007 and 6011). The Deluxe Suite can easily accommodate 2 adults + 2 children.
If you need more space, you can book one more standard room and request for the room to be on the 60th floor. By all means they don't have connecting rooms but the 60th floor is extremely quiet with only 9 rooms, including 1 for Hotel GM.
Above is with the assumption your C+P booking doesn't get further upgraded.
If they do further upgrade you, a case which is common, then the executive suite (160 sqm) offers sufficient space for a family of 5.
