This thread refers to the various Marriott brands within a specific geographic area. Marriott Bonvoy hotels in XX usually have posts asking which property is better, etc. Trip reports are usually better suited in the property specific threads.

My wife and I are going to Beijing in September for the first time. We want to go to the usual spots: Forbidden Palace, Summer Palace, Great Wall, etc. We are there only 4 days so travel time is important.
We booked the new Ren Wangfujing since it is the closest to Forbidden Palace, and we've heard Wangfujing is a nice area.
Does that make sense, or are we missing something? Should we stay at another Marriott property?
Thank you!

I just finished a five night stay at the JW Central. It is a steal as a category 3. I have Gold status thanks to my United status and it was put to good use.
I was given a large corner room that could be generously said to have a view of the Forbidden City if the smog isn't too bad. I don't think Beijing is a city to go to for a room with a view.
The evening spread in the lounge was impressive. There were about five hot dishes along with sushi, salad, cheese, bread, cold cuts, fruit and desserts. With the exception of fried noodles, the hot dishes were different each night.
The breakfast in the restaurant is very extensive. The only negative would be that there are so many stations so you have to hike around to get everything that you want. Mark sure to order something from the juice bar on your way in.
I also checked out the breakfast in the lounge one morning when I was tight on time. It was a compressed version of the restaurant. Your choice of eggs was available on request.
When you use the fitness area or pool you are given a bracelet with an RFID tag that opens/closes your locker.
There is not much to do in the area. As others have said it is 1 block south of Xuanwumen station (2 and 4 lines). Between the hotel and the station there is a mid/high(?) end department store. To the south of the hotel is another mall that has a Walmart.

Out of curiosity, we will have from 8:30-10:30am to visit the Forbidden City before catching a cab for our flight. Are any of the hotels (City Wall, Central, Ren Wangfujing) better than the others for getting there quicker with morning traffic?

-The gym on the 19th floor has an interesting view of old/new west BJ. The pool , also on 19, has a view north, so one can see Behai park and the Forbidden city, and looking to the east on a clear day the CBD area.
-Subway location of (10 & 4) is truly great for getting around BJ, even to the airport via line 2 & airport express, the airport is more than an hour by taxi.
- EL service is 'chinese low tone luxury' which means when 2 people enter, then 3 staff people provide beverage & kitchen service.
- EL (on the 15th floor) has an outside balcony, thus one can smoke there...
- And 'free' parking.

Jiatong,
I just got back from a 6-night stay there last week and had a really good experience. Sad to learn now of the balcony on the EL - I'm in a wheelchair, so I stayed on the lower level. Didn't ask if there was a hidden elevator somewhere, but I wasn't aware of the balcony.
Tell the girls in the EL Mr. Morris says hello. Particularly Carol.
Staff at the hotel is its strongest aspect IMO.

Stayed at the Ren WF end of June. The fixed rate for upgrade to club level is 400RMB/night and suite is 800/night. They fill the rooms with tour groups, both American as well as local. Makes for an interesting mix at breakfast

Courtyard Northeast Exec Lounge Questions
I stayed at the Courtyard NE a few years ago and don't remember a lounge....but do they give GOLD level marriott members upgrade access to the lounge? The Puxi Shanghai Courtyard does, but from my understanding its not automatic at a Courtyard.
Anyone stayed here recently and given lounge access?

Any recent updated on the Marriott Northeast? The Indian restaurant there is no longer listed on the website. Also, any updates on the interiors, above-average perks for elites, and information on location relative to the other properties in town?

Yes, there is an Executive Lounge. Typical Chinese standard (meaning good in comparison to those in US). UG is based on availability of course. I do think Gold would get UG when avail.
I often use this hotel as an "airport" hotel due to quick access by taxi and well treatment as PLT.
