There are a lot totally legitimate reasons one would do this, an example that I can think of: Flying to HKG from Europe or North America, one person is up at 6AM and had breakfast, the other(s) sleep later and have breakfast at 10AM, person one accompanies them and has a coffee or small snack..............

Okay, that's good.

As I said, I know that no one's going to stop you from double-dipping. I just wanted to know if the lounge staff would know that you're doing it. I love to get more and eat more, but I'm also very self-conscious.

I have done it myself often with jet lag. Up at 4am, go for a run and starving waiting for breakfast to open. Then do some work and have a smaller breakfast at 10am.

The lounge agent was busy with another guest but was invited to take a seat and was asked for a drink. I chose a latte and as it was being served I was invited to check in.
I was delighted to be upgraded to a Executive Harbour view ( room 5609) and was able to go to the room straight away ( around 230pm).

and there was a welcome gift of coloured macaroons (no tea but I am not a great tea drinker).

The South China morning post was delivered daily in a black Conrad Newspaper bag
What? You were allowed to check-in in the Executive Lounge? With a booked Executive King Harbour View, we were not allowed to do it. Highly unhappy. I should have asked to talk to Mr. T. H.

What? You got macarons? We got nothing. The second night there was a nice card from Mr. T. H. in an envelope. I guess the night attendant delivering them ate the macarons....

We got the New York Times delivered to our room in that newspaper bag. At least that was good since it's my wife's favorite newspaper.

Question about the afternoon tea: what is that jelly thing on a spoon? a local delicacy? My wife tried cutting it but no success. Then she tried biting it but no success. Then she put the whole thing in her mouth. Nearly choked. Seeing that, I did not eat the one I had put in my dish.

It pays to look around the EL to see what they have. The last evening, on the other side, we found a plate of cheeses with a huge chunk of Parmesan cheese. Went well with the wine. And, no, we did not serve ourselves the whole chunk, we only took a little portion.

Both stays we were told about the possibility of having breakfast in both locations

Hi there,

My family and I are staying at the Conrad HK over the holidays and are wondering if they enforce breakfast for all three guests in the room with my HH gold status. I have seen that the rules limit breakfast to two guests but are wondering if they can let another 15 y/o guest dine also.

Also if I get an upgrade to an Executive room, would all three of us get access to the executive lounge?

Kind regards,
tybo99

I think it will be ok for the lounge. Not so sure about 3 going to the cafe for breakfast without being charged extra.

Anyone who's stayed here recently know if the hotel provides a portable mobile phone with wifi device (like the "Handy" provided by Grand Hyatt HK and some other hotels)? I called the hotel and they don't appear to know what I was talking about...

I did not notice one on my last visit. I can report back in a few weeks and see if they have one. A long time ago I borrowed a phone from the executive lounge. Just had to buy a SIM card.

Staying here now, seems they rent them out for a charge at the Exec Lounge.

Unfortunately only went to lounge once which was during check in. Too much good food in Hong Kong...

Going in April to the Conrad HK. Im Gold, I know I have late check out, but do I have early check in? What time is check in?

If im arriving in the mid morning, can I assume they will allow me to check in (even if no room is available) and still use the facilities? ie Pool, etc....
