I stayed here in June. Got upgraded to a suite, that had a gorgeous view of the harbor. I also agree that the location of the hotel is great. Free transfer from the airport express to the hotel on the shuttle.

Prior to my recent stay, the Executive Lounge Officer (generic email address: [email protected]) and the Executive Floor Officer (personalized email address) reached out to me. PM if you want the personalized email address.

Room size is substantially different (W smallest room is 40sqm while JW is 30sqm) Locatoin and ambiance would count more than how recent the refurbishment, ime. Really not comparable choices, each has merit.

Stayed at JW Marriott HK last week. Lounge is huge and crowded. No egg station but you can order eggs from your server. Omelettes cost $132 extra.
very happy with upgrade to harbour view suite. after the renovations there are still no USB plugs near the bed. An extension cord was provided.

On the way to the hotel from the HK station, the hotel is one of the last stops (there's one more after it), so it took a bit of a ride to get there, about 25 minutes for us. On the way to the station, though, there's just one stop, so it was a pretty quick trip. The alternative is to walk from HK station to Central station, get on either the Island or Tsuen Wan lines for one station to Admiralty, and walk some more to the hotel, but we weren't feeling like that much walking after a long flight from the US.

Is this a genuine or cheeky comment? Yes they are widely available, but drivers are generally rude and brusque, and the rides are always jerky to the extent that I get motion sickness! No wonder they are fighting tooth and nail to prevent the likes of UBER from getting a foothold - rendered illegal in HK.
