Yes, it works pretty well. You can use the stop in the convention center or the one on the street outside the entrance to the GH. Although a cab to/from Hong Kong station is also pretty cheap.
Hong Kong is one city where I see little advantage to a car service. Airport Express is IMO the best airport train in the world. 24 minutes to Hong Kong station.

Thanks to Kacee, seawolf, lafemme, AirbusFan2B, and Tokyoite for all of your advice on chauffeur services/airport transportation!
I am familiar with Hong Kong and the airport express train, but I'll be arriving around 10:30PM, so by the time I reach HK central station the complimentary hotel shuttles will no longer be running. Hence, why I was looking at chauffeur options.
However, upon second thought, I think I'll take the express and then taxi/uber from the station to the hotel since it'll only take a few minutes longer and I'll save $100+ USD.

Are Hyatt's Hong Kong hotels off line for some reason? I've tried several browsers as well as the phone app and can't pull up any hotel for any date. I'm looking to book in April and May so I don't think CNY is an issue. I don't have any problem pulling up hotels elsewhere.

Doesnt work on Hyatt.com but at least it still works on the iOS app. However, they have recently changed the names of their rooms and it is now very confusing.

A couple of active WWII bombs were unearthed from the construction site near the hotel just two weeks ago, so you never know. The bombs even caused a total shut down of the area for a day or two, Im not too sure how this affected the operations of the hotel though.

I received an email today that there was an accident in Hong Kong a few days ago, which led to the tragic loss of 19 lives. Based on Chinese traditions, the return of those spirits to the family falls on the day the fireworks were intended. As this is not a day to celebrate, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong has cancelled the fireworks to respect those who lost their lives.

I book 2 night ( using my award thru credit card) . I belive it is standard room type. Does anyone know how much is the cost for upgrade to Club room per night at this hotel.
Will it cost less if I get an offer ( to upgrade to a club room) at front desk at check in
I am debating whether I should cancel my award booking at Grand conrad and make a stay at Conrad Hong Kong where I can use diamond benefit .
I google map and it seems Conrad Hong Kong is a better location compare Grand Hyatt.
Please advise and thank you
