Touched down at 8pm today. We bought a group pass for the Airport Express, which costs only HK$220 for 4 adults.

It wasn't difficult to find the hotel and we were in the room by 9:30pm. They upgraded 1 of the 2 rooms to a Marvellous Suite. In short, it's the best hotel room I've ever stayed in so far! I now also understand the fuss about the W brand.

There's no comped breakfast for plats since they don't have a lounge. RE my earlier question about breakfast, it costs US$37 per person or you can redeem using 2,800 points.

I told them that it was ok and that I'll just stay at the Intercontinental, which costs almost half. The hotel wrote back to say that they didn't want to spoil my "holiday mood" and offered the C&P, i.e. suddenly there were Wonderful rooms available.

Today I received (probably) a standard email asking if I was celebrating a special occassion, whether I needed a limousine, wanted to book a spa, etc. - pretty clever upselling, I must say. Though, what I was looking forward to was the pre-communication email on suite availability.

For those who've stayed here, are there Instant Rewards for the breakfast and how much points per person?
