Thanks guys!
Booked a harbor view superior suite at the Pen. I agree with views on FS club and spa. First rate. I also like the Upper House - amazing rooms. This being the rainy season, I'll skip the RItz for now and spend some at the Pen spa. Thank you all for the insights and collective experience.

Someone mentioned 'Disney' in relation to IC Danang earlier. Think that fits the Ritz-Carlton in Hong Kong quite well too.

I just wanted to add my 2 cents with another vote for the FS (excellent club lounge & pool), but since you've already booked your room at the Pen I'm late to the party. Enjoy your stay!

One night in HKG before heading to Amanoi - flight lands at 5AM. Flight the following day is at 8:30AM.
Obvious choice has to be Pen for flexible check-in times, right?
Dying to try the Upper House but doubt they'd let me check in at 6AM...

I first tried UH when Chrissie Lincoln left Aman for Swire -- very good indeed. And they graciously offered to let me check-in at 8 am. But if you aren't intending to reserve the night before, Peninsula is the natural choice!

Now it ' s TUH & often split with MOHK ( for the spa & harbour views / towards Kowloon , Elements to Kai Tak , etc )
Try check with Chrissie !
TUH has been very flexible & super welcoming , perhaps being an Amanjunkie helped plus with Chrissie ' s connection

In Central, I don't get the love for UH.

Yes, for me UH is head and shoulders above the other options at Pacific Place. I do think Cafe Gray Deluxe is no longer what it once was though.
