I'd go for the RC, its a phenomenal hotel and for me it's pretty incredible waking up on the 116th floor but YMMV. Never stayed at either Mandarin but I'd probably go for the MOHK over the Landmark. FS also has very good reviews and apparently does have an Executive Lounge which I've never seen or heard of at other FS properties.

FSHK Executive Club package at check-in?
Glad I found this thread (though my question is off topic). I'm planning on a 2 night stay at the Four Seasons Hong Kong through the AMEX FHR program. I can't get the Executive Club package via FHR, but is it possible to buy the package at check-in?

Yes, you can buy it at check in. Also, with FS you can take Airport Express. Call as you board the train at the airport and they will be waiting for you. A 3 minute ride to the hotel.

I really liked the Mandarin Oriental. I posted a review with pics here.
I had previously stayed the Intercontinental but preferred the central location of the MO, though I prefer the island to Kowloon.

I had to make this choice today, thought I was booking the Pen but wound up at .... Langham Place in their top suite. Swayed by a current "pay 2 stay 3" promotion plus the suite comes with ipad and iphone. Much cheaper than MO or Pen and comparable quality in most respects, including immaculate service but then that is expected in HKG.

I think it is- indeed nice place however the location is a tad out of the way???
I wouldn't discount the hotel- comaring it with the MO and PEN seems a bit of a stretch however IMHO.

The point is that suite at Langham Place costs less than room at Pen or MO plus comes with more technology. LP is indeed in Mong Kok, over the MTR station so fast transit. Plus with 2 Michelin star chinese restaurant, so quite competitive. Not comparable to MO or Pen, but a worthy alternative and the Pen's construction woes make it an easy choice.

I guess it really depends where you want to be in Hong Kong. If Langham Place works for your agenda it is a good deal I suppose.

Not sure about the MO but when I was at the W Hong Kong I got Toyota MPV and it was surprisingly nice. It was fully loaded with leather interior and more than enough space for several people. I sat at the back and at 6' 4'' was fine.
