What is your IHG Rewards Club status?

Spire Royal Ambassador

Were you happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes, perfect.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked Deluxe Plaza View Room, received 15th floor Deluxe Harbour View Room; requested high floor in advance.

How are the rooms?
40sqm.
Immaculately maintained
Large bathroom, smallish shower
Unrivaled views of HK
Salvatore Ferragamo toiletries
Unrivaled minibar

How is the exec. lounge?
Excellent.
Great, professional staff.
Good quality breakfast and evening buffet (repetitive after one week, but I guess few people stay this long)
Drinks are generally good, hard liquor could be better (only Black Label?)
Breakfast also on weekends ends at 10:30. 11:00 would be better, the lounge is also full at that time.

What was good and what was bad?
Flawless hotel in general - great experience overall
Upgrade used to be better before the RA rule changes
Any staff is well trained and professional - fantastic
Dinner at NOBU was rather disppointing, despite excellent service
Dinner at the Steak House was an excellent experience with flawless service and food (and a cheque of 3000 HKD p.P.)
Immaculate, flawless housekeeping, incl. second service
Very nice pool and gym with attentive service

Value for $ or Rewards Club Points? Would you return?
Of course, can't wait.
