Im arriving at the Conrad tomorrow - Superior Room upgraded to Exec room Peak view. I was preallocated a room on the 59th floor, on the opposite side from the exec lounge. I am tempted to move away from the 59th as I suspect there will be a lot of foot traffic on that floor, even if I'm on the opposite side of the floor. Do I have anything to worry about? Thanks

Heading to Conrad HKG as a Diamond for the first time this summer. Does anyone have experience with their Nor1 e-standbys? Do they usually get fulfilled?
Would prefer a suite and depending on cost, would be willing to pay for if the shot of complementary upgrade is a 50/50 proposition.

Thank you for this. Will probably place a Nor1 request.

I'm 2 for 3 in getting suite upgrades. Those 2 upgrades both occurred in Mid November. Our last stay was over New Years, and the place was packed. We got upgraded to a Peak View Exec Room.

Sounds reasonable. I'll pay for what I want then.

Additionally, because of the taller buildings not all harbor side rooms have unobstructed harbor views. If you "pay for a harbor view", you can be more demanding if you are disappointed with your view. Which was my experience last stay.

Yes, if I'm paying for Harbour view, I don't want to be looking straight at the Shangri-La. They really shouldn't charge more for those rooms.

You had the "city/mountain View suite" which is a very common upgrade from entry level room type for HHDs here. Staff told me on first visit, they assume HHDs wll prefer the extra space of a View
If you want Harbour View staff will swap you an Exec Room on a floor above 55, as need that high to see over the building between conrad and Harbour.
Since Lounge is high floor with good HV, I'd go with the Suite too.

I think the most useful info here is that even if you check in online they will upgrade you. Some properties will keep you in your selected room even if an upgrade is available.

A great rate to stay now at Conrad HK. Don't know if it's only available in July or Aug. I see the rate is attractive recently. I have an upcoming stay from Jul 5-8 at 1,950 HKD per night. I just got a diamond status last year. Will report how things work out when I return home.
