What is your IHG One Rewards status?
Diamond Inner Circle Royal Ambassador

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay
Yes, fantastic stay.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked cheapest rate and was upgraded to 1 King Classic Harbour View

How are the rooms?
Around 38sqm large.

Exquisite design: the materials are noble, the colour palette subtle, the details magnificent. Each piece of furniture is tailor-made specifically for the hotel by Chi Wing Lo.

Bedroom with bed, sofa along the window, small dining table and chair.
Very comfortable bed.

Superb open bathroom with bathtub and separate walk-in shower.
Perricone MD toiletries.
Sliding door that separates the bedroom from the bathroom and protects against outside noise.

Large flat screen television set with very good selection of international channels.
Free and large selection of movies.
Chromecast.

Nespresso coffee machine. Kettle.
Usb and power sockets next to the bed and desk.

Superb view over Victoria Harbour.
Because of the design of the building and the parapet in front of the window, there is total privacy in the bedroom from the pontoon opposite the hotel, where a horde of tourists pass every day.

Very efficient air conditioning.

How is the exec. lounge?
Simply superb.

The refurbishment has made the lounge looking brighter and bigger.

The lounge is spacious, with a seating area, a dining area around the buffet and a bar.

The food offer is just perfect.
Excellent breakfast, afternoon tea and evening selection, thanks to the choice and quality of the dishes on offer (what a pleasure to taste such a delicious Comté cheese in the heart of Hong Kong).

The bar is just fantastic for the quality of the cocktails made by an equally fabulous barman.

The service is, of course, incredibly thoughtful and attentive.

What was good and what was bad?

GOOD
- The great pleasure to see again my very good friend Raynyan😎
- Very attentive staff
- Convenient location (the beautiful Hong Kong museum of art - with very good restaurant - is just opposite the hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui station is next to the hotel, and Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier is at 5 minutes walk; direct access from the hotel to K11 MUSEA luxury shopping centre).
- Nice room with superb view
- Excellent club lounge
- Very pleasant outdoor pool area.

BAD
- Nothing

Value for $ or IHG One Rewards Club? Would you return?
- The renovation of the hotel is simply impressive in terms of the quality of the design and the attention paid to small details (in particular the lighting in the lobby, the mini sculptures in the lobby lounge, right down to the pool furniture and parasols).
- Legendary location for the view
- World-class hotel service
- Beautiful swimming pool and fitness centre.
- Incredible lounge (probably one of the very best I've stayed in).

As always for a hotel, what makes it great is obviously the quality of its facilities, but also the excellence of the service: the staff are charming, smiling and attentive.

Definitely one of the very best IHG hotels in the word. The former InterContinental hotel was already remarkable for the quality of its service: the new Regent adds a touch of design, interpreting contemporary luxury in a slick and subtle way.

Can’t wait to come back!
