My husband & I stayed for 5 nights from 7-12 April 2008 as he attended a week-long conference at this hotel. It was top-notch with marbles & golds everywhere in a superb location facing the famous panaromic Harbour front view. However, as I was there for holiday (read: shopping, good local delicacies) I feel that most times, the hotel is too formal, ie. perfect for businessmen, but over the top for casual holiday makers. Everyone wears black suits/formal attires & the pace is very HongKong-like. Efficient but walks faster & speaks faster. Warm smiles felt obligatory. There were no shuttle buses to famous spots & even the info desk guy was not well-informed of the airport shuttle bus schedule (which actually pick up/drop off at the Convention Centre next door). Other than this, the hotel room is superb. Thick walls = quietness. To-die-for soft bed, comforter & pillows. My hubby & I had wonderful rest & deep sleep throughout our stay! Fantastic bathroom (large shower & bathtub). I was not impress with their toiletries (shower gels, shampoo, conditioner & body lotion) though, as they were like the generic brand that we expect from other non-5 star establishment.
Location-wise, it was about 10-15mins walk to the nearest MRT (WanChai). Would stay for business but if on holiday, we would choose elsewhere.
