Just looked back at my pics from a mid-Nov stay and apparently I didn't take the booze selection. I do remember being pleasantly surprised 1) to find Havana Club rum, not a food group I normally go for but it was pleasant that evening, and 2) cocktails/food were served from 5-9PM.

I wasn't there at night so really can't tell you. Very likely you'd have to trek from the bus terminal to somewhere outside the shopping mall to find a cab.

Thanks Tom. Where does the hotel shuttle drop off and pick up? The shuttle schedule says Sha Tin MTR Station, but at Pai Tau Street, which seems a few blocks away.

I didn't use the hotel shuttle. I just took the train over there and walked right into the shopping mall.

I did this at 7PM and directly outside the bus area was a taxi queue. Not sure what time you will be arriving and the first taxi had no idea where the hotel was. YMMV.

Thanks! Is it possible to find the hotel shuttle stop near the MTR Station at Pai Tau Street, from the A41 bus stop? I will have luggage and hope to catch the last hotel shuttle to the hotel, departing the MTR Station at 10:40pm.

I ended up taking the A41 bus to the Sha Tin terminal. I took the escalator up to the shopping level and walked through it to the MTR station. I could have waited for the hotel shuttle to pick me up at the street level (which I could see from the shopping level) but I would have had to wait about 45m and I didn't know exactly where the shuttle picks up. Taking the MTR two stops was ok even though I had lots of luggage.

But if you are taking taxi directly from airport, it's about $290 (including tolls), if you are going with family (3-4 pax) probably getting a taxi would be a better idea.

Checked in (again) this evening and was alerted to a new shuttle running from the hotel, and Sha Tin Courtyard, to the airport. The only times mentioned were 9 and 11AM but there might be other times that simply didn't work for my departure tomorrow.
At the moment it's 120 HKD per person and only to the airport. Currently, as explained by lounge staff, it's in an initial evaluation period. This must have started in the last 10 days because nothing wsa mentioned in my last stay.
The staff here continues to give wonderful and warm service.

Another nice room, this time on the 17th floor:
Made it to the Heritage Museum which has a very good Bruce Lee exhibition, as well as the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery, while based out here. Another great stay.

Looking to stay one night on an overnight transfer in the spring, and wondering a bit about AP transport for 2 pax with little luggage. Do these sound like the best options?
1) A41 bus + MTR + walk, approx. 90 min, about 53 HKD (for 2 pax)
2) Direct taxi, approx. 30 min, about 290 HKD
I don't see much advantage to the Airport Express + taxi, which sounds like 40 min, 250 HKD
Considering the bus to the hotel, since we'll be in no rush, and taxi back to the AP. Is the bus ride at all scenic (to us that would be any type of urban view)?
