- Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes, very much so

- Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked harbor view, upgraded to deluxe JS, and did a relatively cheap upsell to an Exec Suite on the top floor.

- How are the rooms?
Very large with a 10+ meter window directly over the harbor. Huge bathroom which was larger than most HKG hotel rooms. The marble shower was also a steam room which was very nice. They had a Android loaner phone on the desk with unlimited data and free local and international calls. The suite came with butler service with a call button.

- How was the mini-bar?
Pretty nice with a decent white Burgundy and a 2011 Bordeaux. No Champagne, but there was plenty of that in the lounge.

- How is the exec. lounge?
Probably the best IC lounge in the world, service wise. Perrier-Jouët Champagne and good red and white wine and excellent food throughout the day, including tea-time.

- What was good and what was bad?

GOOD
Huge value for the money getting that suite on the exclusive 17th floor.
Free mobile phone to use
I splurged on the limo back to the airport and there was the same free phone in the Mercedes. And there was a guy who met us at the airport and helped us through check in and all the way to security.

BAD
Nothing

- Value for $ or IHG Rewards Club Points? Would you return?
Definitely
