Completed my 3rd visit and 70+ nights at Rosewood Hong Kong.
A detailed youtube overview of why it's my favorite in Hong Kong.
Although I do very much like the Four Seasons HK as well. The refresh was much welcomed and the service was just fabulous!

Some high level recap of my 3rd Rosewood HK stays:

• Staff all knew us by name and always greeted us and chatted with us.
• Staff in Manor Club set up our usual seats, beverages, baby amenities, etc. all without needing to be asked. Of course staying for a long time helps and people get to know us.
• Suites are holding up and aging well.
• There's a lot going on (decor wise) in the rooms/suites, but it all works. One of Tony Chi's best works. I think.
• The property does feel huge (413 rooms/suites) but being in the Manor Club (Club rooms or suite guests) certainly helps and feels a bit more exclusive.
• People love being in Central (completely understandable) but as a visitor, I'd take being in TST and having the views of Central Skyline any day. I do not like being in Central and looking across at TST/Kowloon.
• The price for suites still feels like a bargain when compared to cities like NYC, Paris, Tokyo. HK is as expensive of a real estate market as any of them yet, you can get a ~1300sqft suite for ~USD 2,000. With my Elite upgrade to the Grand Corner Harbour Suite, it's a no brainer in value. $2000 is a jr. suite or entry suite in NYC and half the size/quality.
• Have sent many clients over the years (including many for Flyertalk) and all have loved it. Many have rebooked.

Context/transparency:

• I was on Rosewood Hong Kong's Pre-Opening Advisory Board. I wanted to see the hotel succeed. So I certainly have a bit of biased/wishful thinking. BUT, I'd never compromise sending my clients a hotel I didn't think was excellent. As mentioned, many clients have booked and loved it.
• I'm a top Rosewood Elite Advisor (globally) and know management well. I'm sure we received some extra attention on our stays. Same with my clients. While I can only speak to what I know and have been told by my clients, I can imagine not everyone has the same experience in a hotel of this scale.
• Received a bit of Advisor discount (normal and not substantial). Still paid tens of thousands on the stay. In addition, when booking a second suite for my family to visit, I paid the full price as if I were booking for any client. I had offers to stay elsewhere in HK for far cheaper but paid more to stay at Rosewood HK for 1.5 months.
