JW Marriott Hotel Beijing Central
Wonderful stay, we had a great experience. Large spacious suite with free bottles of water, our suite has a large balcony but unfortunately due to government rules, we cannot open the door to the balcony and enjoy it. Breakfast has good selections of food, we really liked the fresh squizeed juice ...
