I have never been to the Far East - incredible after working for the airlines from 1972 lol - am retired now

I am doing a 12 day WW2 tour of Burma and Mandalay first,
I am flying LHR to HKG with VS in J using my FC miles - stay one night and a day in Hong Kong to tick the box then fly HKG-Rangoon with CX in J with Avios to join the tour group.
I then finish with 3 nights in BKK to do the Siam WW2 campaign (Kwai Bridge end of Burma railway) before going to Cape Town for a week with friends -
I sail back from CPT on the liner Queen Mary 2 to UK...

any suggestions please for a nice hotel in Hong Kong - I did fancy a treat at the Peninsular but it is really stupid money for one night.. £550 ouch
I can get the Harbour Grand Kowloon or Harbour Grand near NP ferry using VS FC miles 30000 or pay under £160

I would love to have seen some of old colonial KUL as well but I think maybe I am doing enough lol
