Good question. I've barely even used the concierge at FSHK despite my many stays there. Same for SL Tokyo and most 5-star luxury hotels that I stayed regularly. The Pen Shanghai only once and come to regret it. This is one of the hotels that recommended me a wrong restaurant (with bad food and service ) which I complained afterwards ( long story ).

The best concierge I have experienced so far is at the Pen Tokyo, a very nice young lady and she was wonderful. It was my first time to Tokyo and her restaurants recommendations were spot on. She even went down to the nearby subway to buy a PASMO card for me and show me how to use it. Unfortunately, I have never seen her again in my subsequent stays.
