Ritz-Carlton Shenzhen, China [Master Thread]
I can't seem to find a master thread on RC Shenzhen. Has anyone stayed there recently? Was it a positive experience? I am using up some Marriott reward points for an award stay at RC Shenzhen - it works out to be darn expensive (!!), so i just wanted to make sure it is at least "worth" it.

Another vote for JW.
Stayed several times on award. Each time I was able to get "saver" rate of 10,000 pt/nite. Super property. Great elite treatment. Suite upgrade often. Breakfast (free for elite) at Chinois is a real RAVE! Excutive lounge is large, great views and excellent service! Elite check-in at the exec lounge.
Forget the RC.

RC Shenzhen
The hotel is located right next to the Exhibition Centre subway station. There are a couple of shopping centres within short walking distance, so it's very convenient. The hotel was not very busy while we were there, so it was good for a getaway. Each time we went down to the pool or spa, we were the only people there. However, the club lounge was a little bit disappointing as there wasn't very much variety.
In summary, this is a great hotel for special occasion. But for redemption, one might consider JW Marriott which cost only 10,000 points as opposed to 30,000 points at RC.

Stayed here last year, made a video
Pretty impressed with the service and the club lounge
Bit disappointing that their car service (in their Rolls Royce) only drives you in a 3 block radius or so. Basically a 5 minute ride.
Regardless, I had a great stay with my wife here.
The bed was the biggest bed I have ever slept on.
