Question and answer:

Why is the meeting time so early?
Because the traffic jam is terrible after 7:30 am, We need to escape downtown Beijing before 7:30 am.

Why does the tour end at Swissotel Beijing Hong Kong Macau Center? 
The tour coach is not allowed to enter downtown Beijing in the afternoon since Jan 1, 2019.  There is no alternative way to avoid the rush hour in the afternoon. If you happen to be the last drop off passenger, it does not make sense for spending two more hours on the road. Tell your tour guide which is the next attraction or restaurant you want to go, ask which subway station that you should get off, which exit and how many stops en route.  The nearest subway station is Dongsishitiao Metro Station of Line 2 (Exit C)
