I had a wonderful three day stay at the Regent - booked the "Elevate your stay" rate which made the third night free. Still I paid around 600€ for each of the first nights which I think is a steep price for the cheapset room - but sometimes you need to spoil yourself.
They upgraded me in advance to a King Bed Harbour View Daybed room as it was my first stay with the hotel. Wit my club membership I also got access to the Regent Club.

The interior design of the room was very unique. YOu basically enter the room and are standing in the bathroom which has a sliding door to the real room. Advangage - you can sit in your bathtub and watch the harbour



The Regent Club delivered on its promise (but your expectation must be high when they charge 200€/night for access). The buffets for breakfast, afternoon tea and cocktail hour were huge - too much stuff to try in one sitting I was really stunned when I left on the last day - a club attendant opened the door for me and said "goodbye mr. f0zzyNUE" - the days before no one called me by my name and after the 2nd visit I didn't have to provide my room number. Does the staff need to have photographic memory to remember all guest's names?

Breakfast was much quieter in the club. One day i went to the main restaurant and it was crowded. I had to wait in line around 10 minutes until they assigned me a table. Wanted to test the restaurant breakfast at least once. Otherwise I would have turned around.

Very, very nice property at a top location. Will I stay again? Probably only when I get a good rate or win a lottery jackpot. In my eyes the hotel is very much overpriced (even the lovely club might pay out the access fee only when you are an alcoholic and crave on champagne and cocktails at the happy hour) and I can get cheaper hotel alternatives in HKG - maybe go back to the IC GS where I stayed the last 15 years or try the new Kimpton which looks fantastic. In the end I just need a comfy hotel bed for sleeping and a clean and nice bathroom for a shower. The remainder of the day I will explore and enjoy one of my favorite cities (I just travel for leisure - not for business). This time I wanted to test all the amenities that are provided - but on a consecutive stay I would agin focus on the city.
