I hate to pile on but the walk from the airport line to the red line at Hong Kong station takes longer than the taxi from Kowloon station.

For some reason when booking they offer two beds in 'sheraton' section but not in 'towers' section where I can only find King
Enjoyed my stay last year so I ' m coming back

I'm about to book my second stay at this hotel.
Last time I booked a harbour view room in the main hotel and that is what I received (no upgrade). The room seemed very small but was OK. I think it was on the 9th floor. Was given a full breakfast which was very good value.
This time around I am considering a few options:
1) Harbour view in the towers
2) Deluxe harbour view in the towers
3) Exec suite in the main hotel
The rate for all of these options is pretty similar at around 2700 HKD. I notice the non-towers equivalent of 1 and 2 is about 500 HKD cheaper. Are the Tower rooms good value at 2700? Or is it better to book the cheaper rooms in the main hotel then try to upgrade with points?
From these options, the exec suite seems the best value, but would welcome the opinions of others who've tried these rooms. Things that are important to me (in order) are: quiet room, room large enough for two people, high floor, good view.

1: Add these up, you get them free in the Towers:
A: Free breakfast on the top floor - private for Towers guests, or Downstairs in the Buffet.
B: Free internet
C: Great lounge in the evening, generally packed but free drinks and food, as well as they do afternoon tea.
D: Private Reception area on 16th floor
E: Platinum upgrade to Suite (when available) or Larger Harbor view room
F: Free 2 Hr use of Board room for meetings
G: !0% discount in House for restaurants (Not Mortons)
I have found that all of these add up to way more then the increase between the Main house and the Towers, Breakfast and internet alone cost more.

Hi all,
I'm only an SPG Gold, and I had booked 4 nights using all points in a deluxe room for my upcoming stay in September. I emailed them about an upgrade and they offered me the following:
1, Main House deluxe room with partial harbor view on SPG floor (8-11), or
2, Main House deluxe room on 17th floor with city view, or
3, Main House harbor view room for HK$300 + 10%
Now, I thought all rooms on the 17th floor were Tower rooms? Or are there actually Main house rooms on this floor? Should I opt for this upgrade instead of the partial harbor view?

I believe what they did was take some of the 15th floor harbour view rooms and make them Towers rooms and at the same time took some of the city rooms on the 17 floor and made them into main house rooms. Although I could be wrong on this. A city view on the 17th floor is nothing special, I would take a partial harbour view on the spg floors or pay the extra for the harbour view.

Well I did miss that, but they stopped the Laundry last year some time, but you do get a discount. They will press a jacket a day for free and do a shoe shine too.
I remember when Laundry was cheap in Asia, I used to have everything done before I flew home. Nothing like the way they wrap and pack everything in bags, folded, perfect.

I have booked many times in the Sheraton (main house) and the used SPG points in advance for a confirmed upgrade to the Towers. This thread has quite a few posts about it- and what a few of us have considered one of the best value uses of points in APEC region.

I booked a towers room for 5 nights using points. Is there a way to book a towers harbor view room with more points? I'm an spg gold, so I doubt I would receive an automatic bump to a harbor view room. Thanks.

Yes, they sent me a PDF of their brochure.
How do you get a confirmed upgrade to the Towers, did you just email them and ask for it?
