Club lounge wine selection / list
Does anyone know what kind of wines - names/ brands they serve in the club lounge?

All true, though I wish the staff were a bit more instinctive as to when the guests wanted some privacy and unwinding time instead of playing 20 questions (how was your day? where did you go?, etc)

As far as pools go, Four Seasons does have the best one. I prefer outdoor pools, but Ritz-Carlton's is very nice for an indoor pool (although not as beautiful as the Peninsula's). Definitely much better than the Mandarin Oriental's small and claustrophobic indoor pool.
LMO used to be my favourite in HK but I got bored with the lack of F&B options and rooms without view ( though I miss that giant tub ), so now RCHK is my hands-down favourite and yes, club floor is a must for better more attentive service. With repeated stays, the staff there have got to know my preferences and service has gone up few notches as a regular guest. It's just so relaxing to watch the entire HK skyline from either the lounge or in my room. And I love the F&B offerings, both at the club floor and at the restaurants ( 5 of them! ). Yes, it's a pain to take 2 lifts and few flights of escalators down to reach the MTR station everytime in order to get out but that's a tiny trade-off.

Anyone able to offer some advice regarding food dining, i have a 100USD voucher to use at the hotel during my upcoming stay. I will be at the hotel by myself for one night and plan on using my credit for lunch, what is the best restaurant to go to in regards where a "table for one please" will not stick out like an eyesore? Additionally anyone know if the lunch buffet is any good ?

Thanks

I love Tosca and I'm often by myself. Never succeed to score a window table but I'm not staying at the hotel.
The lunch buffet is definitely very good

Tosca used to serve a brunch on week end with all you can drink champagne (they had krug or don as one of their option, can't recall)
The waiters seem slow to serve champagne

During my single-days or when I´m alone on a business-trip I often took a table for one at all kinds of restaurants. Never had a rroblem, so take the restaurant which is most interesting for you.

You'll be fine dining for 1 at any restaurant. No one will bat an eyelash.

God, I’ve eaten alone at hotels and other restaurants countless times. I certainly hope I do not stick out like an eyesore

Thanks all for your replies,


On the day i use the food credit it will be a public holiday in HK, so it seems that the free flow champagne lunch buffet mostly likely will be in action on that day, the idea of a free flow Krug Lunch buffet sets me into an awe of orgasmic feelings!

Anyone else being quoted a price to upgrade to the club level. Got quoted at 2100 HKD + tax. Seems a little steep

That was what we paid. It has moved up from 1900 HKD last last year.
