"The 332-room Zhuhai Marriott Hotel is the first property of Marriott International in the city, one of the first special economic zones spearheading the economic reform of modern China.

The Zhuhai Marriott Hotel is located in Xiangzhou District, the city centre of Zhuhai and is adjacent to the renowned Jingshan Park. It provides guests with convenient access to the Zhuhai Light Rail Station, Jiuzhou Ferry Terminal and Zhuhai Airport. It is just a five-minute walk from the International Trade Shopping Plaza, Zhuhai Shopping Mail, Zhuhai Duty Free Store and the Zhuhai Museum. With such an exceptional location, guests of the hotel are able to enjoy exclusive tranquility in this flourishing metropolis.

The Zhuhai Marriott Hotel marks another milestone in the development of Zhuhai’s hospitality industry. The hotel is a renovation and expansion project of the Zhuhai Hotel, which was highly regarded as the epitome of the city’s intimate bond with Lingnan culture. The original building of Zhuhai Hotel was designed in Lingnan garden architectural style and once called "Grand View Garden". Zhuhai Marriott Hotel will carry the torch of Zhuhai Hotel’s vision for bringing the most refined hotel services to Zhuhai.

"hotel’s Fitness Centre, complete with the newest line of Life Fitness workout equipment. The 12 meter by 25 meter heated outdoor swimming pool is another focal point, where hotel guests can work out and enjoy the city views at the same time."

The service here is great. The staff are certainly trained on customer experience is important and valued. They go above and beyond. Experiences with Jasmine and Poppy and many others that failed to notice their name badges have been great.

Property is well maintained. Smaller than many other Marriotts. It appears to lack the volume of visitors though, and it hasn't stopped them from staffing all the areas, but I speculate the staff would need to deal with some boredom. Dining is great.

There's really nothing to complain about.

OK, I've found one thing to complain about but definitely not about the staff. From one of the rooms viewing at the full length swimming pool with the people in it with a couple lifeguards around nicely curated green garden, you see it?

Well, that's not the Marriott pool. It's the residential buildings behind it. Marriott's pool is a basic small pool on a low floor and I consider it more of a "check mark" pool to satisfy star requirements. Nothing to write home about and many of its lower tier brands would have better pools than its flagship brand. But again, this is a relatively small Marriott compared to others. I mean, this is also a very low cost / priced Marriott! Great value.
