I went in 2013 and would highly recommend it. When I went it was a very mixed crowd...the one that I went to was my last night in HK and I found myself getting a taxi back to my hotel the next morning from a guy's place in Wan Chai where I managed to end up after the party.
The next day hangover for my 18 hour journey back to PER was not so good though...
I was at the W Hong Kong last August, and they had the pool party on I think Saturday night. So of course they kicked us out of the pool early evening to set up.
Then, apparently after the pool party, everyone goes down to the Living Room bar area, where they proceed to get more and more drunk. And then they tried to kick us out of the table we had been sitting at in the back for an hour or two,
but a few of the guys I was with made a huge stink and got us comped a round of drinks. ^
The party was totally straight, basically 20- and 30-something expat men, and young local call girls. One was hysterically/futile-ly trying to pick us up, then after about 10 minutes realized we were all gay.
Anyway, it was kind of a mess, drunk people all over the place that could barely stand up. There was a good amount of security though.
Fun for a look, but totally not my scene...
But I
love that hotel in general.
