Currently staying here. Booked the base room with cash and was upgraded to Grand Seaview. Arrived after midnight for a 2 night stay so didn’t upgrade to club initially but was offered the upgrade just the second day for 2100HKD for 2 which I took.

The room and overall decor is nice, sort of reminds me of FS Beijing. Amenities are a bit lacking with 4 bottles of water for 2 and only single set of toiletries in a room with a bath and a shower. Really minor things but had to find something negative as it’s pretty hard to fault the place.

Check-in was a breeze given the late arrival. Luggage arrived swiftly. Lounge staff could not be more attentative and even though the champagne on offer was just plain Moet it is free flowing at all hours as are the other beverages. The afternoon tea and canapes were really nice but not the best hotel lounge food I’ve had. The booze was premium, no Gordons or Red Label here, the local craft beer selection was enjoyable too. What really surprised me was the Plat/Titanium voucher they give out for Ozone seemed to include everything except bottles so we ended up having 2 glasses of Dom 2004 (priced at 570HKD++/each).

All in all, the location is not good for exploring but we knew that coming in and didn’t feel like going out anyway having been in HK for quite a few times and basically only having one day. Also it’s very convenient for late departing flights with the Kowloon check-in being right under it.
