The hotel has its own shuttle from the Airport Express Central Station running every hour. There is a big parking bay just outside the ticketing/platform area and each hotel that has a shuttle has a dedicated spot with a timetable posted.
If I remember correctly (from about 2 months ago) the charge was $HK75 each way.
If you are a bit more adventurous you can catch an Airbus (I think its the A10) for $HK48 to somewhere close to Cyberport (eg Aberdeen or Kennedy Town) and jump in a cab for the rest of the journey (less than $US10). I did this not having a clue where I was going just following along on a map and jumping off the Airbus when I thought I was close enough - I enjoyed the adventure. Just double check the Airbus number as I can't clearly remember but it went Airport -Central-Aberdeen- South island or South Shore (something like that)
And the hotel was great for a platinum
Edit: The hotel shuttle from the Airport Express station costs $HK29

Can you help explain this a bit? I've never been to Hong Kong... I've only been to Asia a couple times. Where is this shuttle? Is it a le meridien shuttle? Is it similar to a taxi? Do I need cash? Where do I go in the airport terminal?
Thanks! A bit nervous for my first trip out there.

1. There is a direct airport-hotel shuttle managed by a private company. Skyexpress has a website where you can make the booking. It's goes to other hotels also.
2. You could also take the HK AirportExpress train to HK station. The hotel shuttle is directly across the exit. On the left of the taxi line. You would need a coupon to get on the shuttle, just inform the driver you will purchase the coupon upon arrival at the hotel.

It is indeed but this is probably the least useful limo option given the location of the W.
As a first trip to HKG I would recommend the OP take a taxi from the airport to the property. This will cost a little more than a train and taxi/shuttle combo but not massively so and will bee a lot more convenient.
That said this is not a property I would choose for a first trip to HKG.

The Skyexpress website doesn't seem to function any more nor did it 2 months ago when I was searching. The ground transportation information desk at HKG didn't have any info on a private shuttle to Cyberport at that time. I may not have gone to the correct desk.Do you have another link for Skyexpress?

Okay. So I'm confused. So it will be more. then i think i'd like to take the train. Can someone lay it out for an HKG noob for me? Something like...
1) make sure you have $X in cash / they take credit card
2) walk to this part of the airport - look for this
3) buy this certain type of ticket
4) get on train
5) get off at stop Z
6) look for a cab - that should cost Y
something like that?

something like that?
- get off plane
- go through immigration
- go to Airport Express train, buy round trip ticket to central (no cash needed, you can use a credit card)
- exit at Central (aka Hong Kong aka 3rd - last - stop)
- exit through turnstyles, veer left to "shuttle" area. LeMeridien bus stops there every 30 minutes
- Get on bus (they'll charge your room the 20 HKD for the trip if you'd like - no cash needed)
- When bus stops at hotel, get off, check in, relax
Having said all that, I'd recommend going to town for the evening to get to experience Hong Kong a bit. If nothing else take the shuttle out to Central, wander around for a few hours, then head back to the hotel.

I suppose there is no lounge in this hotel, but does platinum guests still get complimentary drinks at the bar (like some people mentioned previously)? Is this at a daily basis?

Last time I was there, yes, it's on a daily basis. Not off the regular drink list but a fairly extensive "special" list. With free buffet breakfast in the hotel resto, I'm not sure a lounge is needed. I certainly prefer the bennies at the Meridien over the crappy (regular Club) lounge over at the Sheraton.

Well, we are two persons staying in the room.
So, as a platinum member, I am entitled to complimentary drinks at the bar regardless which room I book?
But if I book a suite then my "room mate" will also be entitled to complimentary drinks?

Isn't this SPG 101 stuff?
The free drinks at the bar are during a defined time period (from memory 6pm to 9pm but I may be wrong). I think there was potentially free soft drinks etc. during the day but have never found where I could get this.

so I wasn't allocated a Deluxe Sea View room. However, they still extended those benefits (meaning free breakie, lounge drinks, etc) to me, as a Plat member.
