My apologies, that’s right I forgot. I am Gold. But, getting an actual room upgrade to the club level I have heard is hard and almost never done. I have heard the best they will do is upgrade you to a Harbour View. Unless others here who have experience can comment otherwise.

If I was going to pay over US$500 a night in Hong Kong then I'd just get a room at The Peninsula, which in my opinion is one of the finest hotels in the world.

Sorry to bring up old threads but I'm going to Hong Kong for two days and I have a bunch of points I want to burn on a nice property, and I cannot decide. Right now I have a reservation at the Renaissance, but am considering canceling.
I am an SPG/Marriott Gold and I'm looking for a property that I will get a good free breakfast at, and will also be allowed access to a really good lounge. Any suggestions?

Take a look at this thread with much discussion about Ren vs JW: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marr...4-present.html
I believe there was a separate JW vs Ren HK thread that was merged into the Marriott-family HK thread.

I have heard getting upgraded to the club level at the Renaissance is next to impossible even for Diamonds.
Re: Schenzen, I always laugh at how overpriced Hong Kong is compared to that city especially when you compare the high end hotels that go for $300-500 a night in HK. Just over the border they are usually $150 for the same brand!

Not to be difficult but is it really fair to ask other people to search a thread for you? There's a thread on this. Looks to me from a 2 second search -- speaking of unfairness -- that the Ren is mentioned 76 times in that thread. Perhaps if you review the most recent posts in the thread and don't find the information you're looking for, that would be the place to ask questions rather than this thread.

I thank @Troopers for sharing that thread. I just had trouble finding what he was referring to.
