I’ve consolidated the places I would recommend from my trips to China here with everything I loved, didn’t love and would suggest.
Shanghai
The Shanghai EDITION
Loved the modern design, large rooms with incredible views, the amazing location, and the attentive staff
Didn’t love nothing! We loved everything about this hotel!
Know that for car pickups and drop offs, you’ll go to the side of the hotel down a little alley instead of right in front of the hotel as that’s a pedestrian only street. Also, for easy coffee access – there is a Starbucks right next door!
Beijing
JW Marriott Beijing
Loved the modern feel, the hotel restaurants and breakfast buffet, and spacious room
Didn’t love that it was a little far away from the main tourist areas to see in the city and we had a hard time getting a taxi to take us back, ending up with a long walk
Know that this hotel can arrange a private driver to take you around – we used this service to take us to the Great Wall of China
