The Best Hotel in the World IMHO
I have been staying at The MOBKK since I was a teen taken by my father 40 years ago. Now, I bring my son here.
For me La Grande Dame has always remained outstanding at the level of service, professionalism and food and beverage.
I have stayed here during Khun Kurt' s era, and also every year during Jan Gossing and his team. There was no noticeable difference, and the team at MOBKK seemed happy with Jan, and I certainly saw all the old faces that had been here for years, and greet us like family returning home. (so I can't comment on old time staff leaving). As a guest nothing has changed if anything the service is even better (if that's possible).
They have always comped us for the meet and greet at air-bridge on arrival, immigration and limo transfer to and from hotel.
I have yet to meet Amanda Hyndman, but already I am impressed.
Amanda, took the time to write to me and my family in Australia to talk of her new role and to welcome us back when we go this coming January.
I wrote back to her and consequently received another hand written response from her which I find exceptional, in this day and age of electronic correspondence.
We have stayed at some of the worlds most famous hotels in Europe Asia and America, but find that all are are poor cousin when compared the the MOBKK.
It is the only hotel in the world in which I could truly wish to live in.

In regards to our friend and his tirade re dress code that seems to be going on indefinitely on numerous posts. "He must be well balanced, as it seems he has a chip on BOTH shoulders."
