Have your choice of scenic views. Whether your heart is set on getting close to nature, or being in the center of the big city, Members can use Points* to reserve stays at hotels available through the Explorer Collection — including two amazing destinations in China — at the JW Marriott Hotel Chongqing or the Sheraton Grand Hangzhou Wetland Park Resort.

EXPERIENCE CHINA’S NATURAL WETLANDS

Welcoming and modern, Sheraton Grand Hangzhou Wetland Park Resort provides travelers with a serene and lush escape overlooking China’s famed Xixi National Wetland Preservation Area. Relax each morning as you take breakfast on a balcony overlooking the sweeping greens of the wetlands. When you aren’t taking in nature, lie beside the resort’s indoor pool or take a dip in the whirlpool. Chinese food is always on the menu at Yue, serving authentic Hangzhou and Cantonese cuisine. Want some more international flavor? Dine on French food in a Moulin Rouge–like ambiance at Satine, or enjoy flavors from around the globe at Feast.

EXPLORE CITY LIVING

Rising high near the prominent Chongqing People’s Liberation Monument, the inspired JW Marriott Hotel Chongqing provides a warm welcome to Chongqing. Located within the bustling downtown, you’re only steps away from exciting attractions like the Chongqing Zoo, Chongqing Grand Theatre, and City Mall. A day of city activities can work up an appetite, so visit Man Ho for contemporary Chinese cuisine and Qing Kitchen for delicious a la carte menus. And end your night in style with a visit to Flame, a special restaurant offering a chic American aesthetic. Amidst the excitement of city exploring, don’t forget to relax with a facial or massage at Touch Spa or a leisurely float around the heated indoor pool.
