Hi, I certainly didn't expect to uncover such a web of intrigue.
The lift was in the southern section in a bank of several others, but was accessed through a panelled swipe card secure un desiginated door within a carpeted/decorated walkway. IIRC the entrance is to the right of a little shop on the way to the ferry. This area has been transformed over the period 2006-2009, and my mental picture is distorted with before and after recollections and maybe it is as Megatoplover suggests, a service elevator which has a dual usage, easily changed by taking the side protections off. Just to get your brains in a tangle, the Oriental had a similar access to one of their floors, what I thought was private, anyway, maybe it will be only a charade too.The GH in Hong Kong has an ingenious deception to give their upper suites privacy, but then that would be another post Maybe someone should start a post about them, regards bkkrop
