View is good.
Service has been fantastic. Love the in-app concierge, and the concierge actually knows how to assist (I'm looking at you Murray...)
Having said that, I'm not sure how Four Seasons counts as one of Hong Kong's 'classic' luxury hotels? It opened mid 2000s.
Also, Mandarin Oriental is also full of day trippers/afternon tea goers (Clipper Lounge).
Classic not as in 'old' but, rather,
the place to go/to stay. Hardly any hotels (or many buildings for that matter) in Hong Kong stretches over 50 years these days, apart from The Mandarin and The Peninsula (and technically the 1881 in TST, though that only became a hotel later after).
I honestly still like the decor at the FS, and wouldn't consider it to be shabby at all. The rooms at Island Shangri-La on the other hand... (and many Shangri-Las for that matter) needs some refurbishment.
