I was there on a private trip around 2004.

I wanted to show my wife around Hong Kong and enjoy the GH with it's lounge. 15 years after my last stay, the club has been renovated. I honestly was a bit disappointed. Not because it has changed, but it somehow has lost the glamour. The staircase is different, it all seems a bit cluttered. Lounge was crowded upon our arrival. It was difficult to find a table. loud.

Offerings were still very good, both evenings and for breakfast. SInce we had booked a Suite, we were entitled to the breakfast buffet in the restaurant as well, which we tried out one morning, But returned to the lounge for the remaining 2 days, as the variety was sufficient for our needs.

Service in the lounge was still very good, and as others have noted as well, Scott is really fantastic. Had a discussion on the renovated lounge and he too found the "old" lounge to be classier.

Too bad for the lounge in my view, but overall the hotel is still great.
