Patrick, you should arrange your trip very well if you plan to go to visit China during the National Day holiday. Better prebook your accommodation, flights or train tickets in advance. To be honest, these two hotels are not far from each other. The Waldorf is located on the Jingyu Hutong and Hiton Wangfujing is situated on Jiaowei Hutong. It's convenient to stay at any of these two hotels.
And I am afraid that you will meet the crowds everywhere because Chinese tourists also go out to travel at this moment. However, you may consider visiting the attraction sites in the afternoon instead of going there in early morning, especially when you visit the Forbidden City and Great Wall. In this way, you may avoid the crowds. Just pay attention to the closing time. Don't go there too late.
