Even for me, I goto Hong Kong 3-4 times a year and everytime, I still discover new things. Gosh, I sound like a HK tourism promotion agent

Is the Limousine service by one of their signature Rolls-Royce? If yes, I would think it's about that rate. Usually, if you book the limousine, it will come with VIP services like meet-and-greet service at the airport ( meaning they will pick you up right from the airbridge ) and direct escort to in-suite checkin upon arriving at hotel, ie no waiting or queing. Never tried the limousine pickup from Pen before since I haven't stayed at the Pen yet but I heard they are quite famous for it. You can ask the hotel for more details.

Pen is not a bad choice although I like the Four Seasons better. IC is good too. Shangri-la Kowloon is definitely not the same class compare to these three. Photos on website always look good ( it's made that way ), but the actual room quality can only tell when you see it. I've stayed and seen the rooms at all 4 hotels so I know the difference.
Well, I just might..

I'd probably roll out for the stay and everything else +- HK$ 10,000.. I don't know if that is sufficient or not, is HK$ 6,000 good enough for 2 nights? I mean for shopping, eating, etc?

Yes it is their RR service. And I'm very much looking forward to it..

The FS is waay to expensive at more than HK$ 10,000 a night the last time I checked on their suites.. I forgot what was it but there's also a HKS 21,200 suite per night.. which literally blows my mind away..

Well, if you're in HKG by the time I'm there, could you show me around?
