If budget were a factor, I’d have to say I’d consider the RC over either the MO and LMO, unless I had to be on the Island. After all, you can use points at the RC (or even the W next to it).
If one had to be on the Island and budget is a factor, perhaps I’d consider the JW Marriott since I could use points and still head up to Cafe Gray at The Upper House (as The Upper House is in the same tower but above the JW). Perhaps I’d consider the 4th night free for LMO so I could more easily dine at Amber. But I’d more easily use points to stay at the JW or even Grand Hyatt until the St Regis opens.
The true tale will be told for me once the St Regis opens and I have to choose between it and The Upper House. That will be true pain.

I totally understand.

Marriott rooms are tiny
TUH & MOHK have great views & really nice suites - pick wisely at MOHK ; LMO has no views though

TUH may be likened to an Aman, but that is not what I am looking for in Hong Kong. I specifically want the MO HK experience.

Kerry Hotel or The Langham
Which would you choose? Kerry Hotel Executive King Suite with club access or The Langham Executive Room with Club. $25 dollar difference for two nights-these are the only two hotels I am considering for this trip. Would prefer the RC, but pricing is way too high for my dates.

Kerry is newer and has a nice pool/rooftop bar-vibe.

I've been to Hong Kong plenty of times, so the location does not really matter. Which would have the better club level? If the Langham is vastly superior, then I'd take the regular room versus the suite at the Kerry. Its a celebration of sorts and I've never tried either of these hotels.

I loved the MO very much. At first it didn't come across to be nicest among the bunch, but having stayed there for the first time a few years ago, I have since become a convert!
I just love the ambiance at the MO, and how it feels like the perfect blend of old and new, and the views towards Statue Square are very nice.
In regards to the poster above's question, I've also stayed at the Langham and thought that they weren't very nice... I was in a Deluxe Room which supposedly has the same design as the Executive Rooms, but I felt that the decor was very un-functional and certainly a waste of space. It was quite a comfortable room for what its worth, but didn't quite like it as much as other hotels with similar price ranges, like the InterContinental.
Also, talking about hotels in Hong Kong, I personally didn't like The Peninsula... it felt way too touristy, and the ambiance wasn't too enjoyable. All the public areas felt very busy and was very crowded, and I thought the rooms had too many unnecessary gimmick. The views towards the Island is nice though. And what's more, the Pen is located on the wrong side of the harbour
