This stay at Beijing Marriott Hotel Changping was absolutely perfect! The view from the balcony was stunning—especially with the mountain scenery just outside, making every moment feel peaceful and refreshing. I loved being able to enjoy the hot springs and swimming pool multiple times throughout my visit; the water was clean, warm, and incredibly relaxing. One of the highlights? The complimentary photography session—it turned out better than I expected! The photographer was incredibly skilled, guiding us naturally through poses and lighting without making it feel staged. We shot entirely indoors since the weather was too chilly outside, but they created such a diverse range of backdrops—from minimalist to vintage—that each photo felt unique and artistic. Just two days and one night, but it felt like a full recharge. If you're looking for a quiet, luxurious escape with great value, this is definitely the place. Highly recommend!
