I just stayed at the Peninsula in late Oct. Had the virtuoso amenities just don't remember them. We were in a harbor view room on a higher floor. OMG! The views were spectacular. The Peking duck at Spring Moon was to die for, YMMV

Agreed and also had the Peking duck there. Never had parts of it as a lettuce wrap before and it was delicious!

Just shows you about different strokes for different folks. I find the location of the RC far from perfect. And as lovely as the Club floor is the first impression upon entering the hotel, and in fact, most of the public spaces remind me more of an upscale business hotel rather than a true luxury hotel.

I had an amazing experience at the RC HK in their Club Lounge but yeah, everyone will have their preferences.

That said I don't think a perfect hotel exist in HK or be it anywhere in the world.

I stayed at many RC and liked many. So absolutely believe this. As I said nothing against the hotel.

The RCHK is my current go-to hotel in HK. Previously my regulars were FSHK and then LMO but RCHK has overtaken them. I love the views, the room, the wide choices of F&B and also the service ( elevated for me as a regular ). But it's not perfect. The decor is gaudy and over the top, the location is not ideal, a hassle to take so many escalators and lifts to reach the subway and the lobby is always crowded. All is forgiven when I woke up to this :

Went past the St Regis building today - it's next to Central Plaza in Wan Chai. It'll open in a couple of months, I should be getting a tour prior to opening.
Checking out Rosewood just after Chinese New Year - can def pass on my feedback here, but photos will have to wait until 17 March (official opening).

I have been inspired by some recent reports, including SanDiego1k’s, to stay again at InterContinental, this time in a view category (junior) suite. The location of that hotel is really special. Especially after the refurbishment and reglag to Regent, it should be great. If a long stay, I will split with my usual hotel, MO.
