I've had good/attentive service in the US at some of the Four Seasons as well.
Before I grew tired of their anemic (and now gone) loyalty program, I was getting good/personal service at a couple of Loews.
Oh well - once the Coronavirus has done it's thing, I'll take another swing through Asia and it will be nice to get that level of service.

a pretty decent hotel with a less than preferable decor remodel but still pretty good
upgrades are poor at the new Conrad and walls thin with noise from the outdoors

Yikes, two stabs at a Conrad and they both bowed out - I’d be skeptical if and when the next one opens and wonder how long that one will stick around. 
Curious as to what’ll happen to this hotel; as a Hyatt enthusiast, I’d love to see it convert to an Andaz or Grand Hyatt and fill a visible hole for those brands in Hyatt’s hometown.

I'm wondering with covid still disrupting travel if a new hotel will even open or if this will remain empty for a while🤔

What became of the prior Conrad? I liked it there, although my only prior Conrad stay had been in Hong Kong, and it was a step down from that.

Stayed there 2 times, and was never impressed, teddy bears were always out of stock. As far as Conrad's go, it was probably my least favorite of them all. Been wanting to try The Peninsula right nearby, now I may have the chance.
