Looking for recommendations on the best marriott properties in Suzhou and hangzhou. I am curious about properties located ideally for tourism and that acknowledge gold status.

In (HZ) Hangzhou, at city center there are a courtyard & JW that share the same address, (interesting mix). same pool/gym, but different EL's and dinning.
Some old threads on this if you search the Mrt forum. It's about 15 minutes from the old HZ rail station & about 15 minutes from the Lake.

Renaissance Suzhou - Old building but well maintained, very generious to the Reward members, pretty good chance of free room upgrade. Location is fine with some shopping around. free breakfast for gold
Courtyard Suzhou - Fairly New building, decent room, close to Subway station and the Landmark (Jeans). 15 mins walking away from Renaissance Suzhou. Free breakfast for Gold member.
Marriott Suzhou - right in Suzhou old downtown, dated hotel, close to most tourist places including Suzhou Garden, Walking distance, free breakfast for gold.
I personally would suggest Renaissance Suzhou>Courtyard Suzhou>Marriott Suzhou.

I'm at the Renaissance right now. Nicely upgraded room to club floor as a gold. Room was very recently remodeled to a high standard. It's a good location near most of the industrial businesses, and lots of shopping nearby.

I ended up booking it for two nights. I'm going for tourism but hopefully getting around won't be too bad.

I also stayed at Marriott Suzhou. It is located in the city center. Its entrance is clustered with cars and several shops right in front of it. So the very first impression was not great. The inside was average. I was upgraded to a top level executive suite with good view of the city. The morning buffet breakfast is not good. Better use the executive lounge if you get it.
It is very close to many attractions if you are really into those. I had high hope of visiting the traditional gardens, but disappointed. There were so, or too many people.
