The picture is very helpful. I’m planning a trip to HK and wanted to possibly stay here. In looking at the hotel’s location behind these two towers, trying to upgrade to a harbour view room may prove very difficult.

If you want an actual harbour view, you really should not stay at the St Regis - I don't know how to upload the pic from my phone to FT but if you're on Instagram I can send it to you (the view from the Harbour View Rooms).

A bit like LMO, emphasis on design, boutique in size, though dreadful views.

Can someone compare the views of the Grand Hyatt upper floors with that of the new Rosewood? During our last time in HK we stayed at both the RC as well as the Grand Hyatt and much preferred the harbour views from the Grand Hyatt (you just don't have a view half of the time when staying at the RC). We are planning our end of the year trip to Japan with a stopover in HK and are looking to stay at Rosewood, but are afraid the views will be disappointing...

I think GH is actually pretty solid for their league but it looks across to Kowloon, which doesn't give you that iconic HK skyline.
Views from the Rosewood pool is also pretty good and better than that of FS
I've had 4 sets of different clients stayed in the past 2 months and all agree the view is unique and the best in HK.
I took some photos from Rosewood's Corner Harbor Suite (the Club harbor rooms will have the same views). You can see that the views extends through out the entire suite and even the bedroom sitting area has a panoramic view of the entire Harbour + Kowloon (you can see Ritz Carlton as well): https://www.besvisor.com/rosewood-hong-kong

Rosewood has the best views in Hong Kong at the moment.

We all have different tastes in hotels and that's the beauty of it! But I would think that most visitors would come away from Rosewood HK being (objectively) impressed by the hard product. Even if it's not specifically to that individual's taste.

I've stayed at both Grand Hyatt and Rosewood. IMHO, it's not even close. Rosewood has the best views in Hong Kong at the moment. Depending on the room/suite you book, you're able to see most of Kowloon, and full Harbour View across to Central.

If you're out of the hotel most of the day, mind as well save a considerable amount of money by staying at the GH, which is significantly cheaper than the RW, unless of course you have very deep pocket then RW is a no brainer.

Why is the Grand Hyatt even discussed in this thread? It's a very solid business hotel (and arguably one of the better Grand Hyatts out there) but it cannot compete against the likes of RW or other luxury properties in town.

Don’t see how GH would compare to RW.

Don't get me wrong - I like the GH and personally spend staycations there 3-4 times a year using WOH points and Club Access Awards, but I feel like it is better discussed in the Hyatt forums rather than in the context of luxury hotels.

Agreed. Definitely doesn't merit discussion in this forum.
