In spite of the excellent service, the Chaoyang Ren simply isn't a very good hotel in terms of hardware. For example, I was there several years ago the week before the central heating grid was powered up, and the lobby was frigid (most 5-star hotels in Beijing figure out a way to address this issue on their own). The Marriott NE is in a completely different league, but unfortunately its prices now reflect this (they didn't a year ago).
Meanwhile, I have a hard time defending the Marriott City Wall, due to its poor location.
As for the Courtyard NE, its location leaves a lot to be desired for tourists, but it's the closest to the airport and is newish/cheap.

Ritz-Carlton Beijing or JW Marriott Beijing
I will be traveling to Beijing in March for a two night stay and have the option of staying at either the Ritz-Carlton Beijing or JW Marriott Beijing. My company's contract price is roughly the same at both hotels, so I'm wondering what your recommendation would be. 
I see that the Concierge Lounge at the JW is fantastic, so I'm slightly leaning that direction.
Are there any meaningful differences in terms of earning Marriott Rewards points at one vs. the other?
Thanks and I look forward to hearing everyone's opinions!

Also, the staff were borderline rude to me on a couple of occasions and they'd aggressively hunt me down to get my room number to make sure I was allowed to be there, even though I observed them frequently not applying the same standards to multiple Asian visitors.
On the other hand, the CL at the JW Shanghai is absolutely fantastic. It's neck and neck with the St. Pancras Renaissance for best lounge ever...
YMMV...
