The property is not owned by corporate. Its owned by a local developer as their first hotel development and sign up marriott as the management company.
The land was restricted for hotel development when it is listed for sale

and, the JWs seafood buffet lunch/dinner, albeit expensive, isn't to shabby.......
There is also a park next to the JW and as you walk through the park, you will eventually get to the entrance where you take the cablecar to the "Peak". Of course, there is plenty of high end shopping at the Pacific Palace Mall that is connected to the JW.

Question for Hong Kong hotels:
Have an event in September at the Asia World Expo Center; Sky City Marriott is sold out, already have 3 rooms there but I need 2 more rooms for co-workers. What is the closest, most convenient hotel to the Asia World Expo (other than Sky City)?

The JW is the way to go
Plat's are treated well. They have a good sized executive lounge (33 and 34th floor).
The lounge offers the following:
1) Breakfast. Choice of having it the lounge or the Marriott cafe. Served 6am to 10:30
2) Afternoon tea. 2pm to 4pm. Scones, sandwiches and refreshments.
3) Cocktails. 4:30pm to 8:30pm. Open bar
4) Hors d'oeuvres. 5:30pm to 8pm. Couple of hot items, good food.
5) Evenings snacks. 9pm to midnight. Cookies, sweets....desserts...

I have not stayed at the Ren, but I rate the JW very highly and would always use it, even though some rooms are a bit small. The service, the Lounge and the pool and location are the reasons why.

They list all non-suite rooms the same size, but from the pictures they've shown, the double rooms look bigger. Or maybe they are just showing the corner double room, which is not bookable...

But seriously, to the OP, if you are in HK for a fair that takes place at the Convention Centre in Wanchai, then the Ren is the place to stay. It is very, very nice to just walk down to the convention centre. If you are there for any other reason I would go with the JW.
