Yes the switches are on the stand next to the desk ( my bed had them to the left) of the bed.
It did take me a little while to find them on my first night as it is not 100% clear at first.

Glad it's not just me then! Uber I generally find to be quite good in Hong Kong other than this.

Since not everyone participates in the Hilton meeting thread, I just wanted to let folks know that my wife and I will be at the Conrad Hong Kong Jan 28th thru the 30th for CNY and would be happy to meet up during HH in the EL (or the temp setup downstairs on the 29th) for a drink and chat.

Okay, reporting live from Conrad HKG on Jan 29th here.
So, I decided to stay at Conrad HKG after all in spite of the EL being moved to Lobby Lounge. To their credit, they really did try to accommodate and offered a lot more service and products for their diamond members due to this move to the lobby. In some ways, I feel bad for the staffs because they did seem pretty overwhelmed with the sheer volume of traffic for Chinese New Year. With that being said, their food and drinks offerings were definitely wider in range than usual, with the offering of a full scale buffet and afternoon tea option (in addition to alcoholic drinks not on the regular menu - i.e. Martini, rose, etc, you just need to ask).
Now, while you don't get the view from 59th floor due to the Executive Lounge being temporarily moved downstairs, you may feel slightly better about the fact that weather condition tonight prevents you from seeing much of the fireworks anyway. I know that for a fact because I was given an extremely high floor harbor view and with the haze and fog, much of the spectacular fireworks were hidden from view anyway. Thank goodness they comp me a free bottle of Shiraz and Champagne.

Does anyone know if the lounge has been reopened up top? Can't seem to find any info on the relocation on the hotel website (although it happily tells me the pool is closed this week...)

Has anyone stayed here as a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids)? The website doesn't allow to book rooms for this combination, but I understand that the policy might be different at check-in. Please let me know. Thank you!

I don't think this is an error. It's an Advanced Purchase rate and I have seen lower. In fact, I'm checking November rates right now and the AP rate is $2250.
