I have been staying here for many years, and it seems like the construction has gone on in one form or another for almost as long as I have been staying here. I have had harbour view rooms most of the time, and have never had any issue with the construction noise. But of course it depends on what floor you are on, the higher the better. And I don't know if it has gotten worse recently. If you have never had a harbour view room before, it's quite the sight. But there is nothing wrong with the garden view, if the noise is bothering you then by all means move over.

Since my best friend lives there, I stay with him pretty often; if I just left, this morning. The construction seems to have been less annoying as of late, though there always seems to be some fixing going on in the pool area, as well as nearby buildings. By the way, I know they are in the same building, but I give a sight edge to the GH overall (nicer lobby, restaurants. and rooms).

Like moondog, I prefer, by a slight margin, the GH, but it's the chase for Marriott nights that tips the scales the other way.

I ended up booking GH for end of Dec due to the 6000 point Hyatt suite upgrades (rates were roughly equal) because I don't think I'll be getting any upgrades around New Years, but any other time I probably would have opted for here as well just due to status benefits.

I was there couple weeks ago and had a harbour view on the 39th floor. I didn't hear any construction noise that high up.

We recently stayed in the Renaissance Harbour View.
Service and Lounge has been excellent but as mentioned - construction noise can be a subject if someone is sensitive to noise. (We had a room in 31st floor facting the ferry station) Overall we will come back as relaxing time at pool area is a clear plus in a bussy city.

Staying here in a few weeks, wondering what the opening of the St. Regis across the street has done in terms of occupancy and upgrades? I'm thinking that the people who normally book the suites at the Ren are probably moving to the St. Regis? Is this a totally different crowd? Will they be taking guess more from the JW than the Ren?
Thoughts?

Will do. This is my 8th stay at the REN, I dig the hotel and the location can’t be beat!
BTW - I did post a review of this hotel.
Renaissance Hong Kong - GREAT HOTEL!

I'm booked here next weekend, but I just found out the adjacent convention center is hosting the "27th Annual Baby Expo and Crawling Contest". Do most people attending a convention stay here? I'm imagining screaming babies crawling up and down the hallways. I don't even like polite children very much ; ) Does anyone think this will be an issue? Of course I will ask for a quiet room when checking in. Or maybe I should switch hotels now before it's too late?

Flee. Flee. Would you be asking the same question if it was the 27th Annual Pr0n Star Contest? Of course not. You are right to think ahead about this. Each room, either side, opposite, on top, and below you with a +1 cot and a sleepless, agitated baby out of its timezone and expressing itself to the world.

But you've convinced me! Moving to the JW. Hoping the price goes down as more people become afraid to travel to HK.
