Second that for the RC Hong Kong and the Club Level., Just returned from a quick 3 night stay and it was amazing. This is my 3rd visit to HK in the past year (first time stayed at the Peninsula, second time at the Landmark Mandarin, and this time at the RC Hong Kong Club Level). The Club Level team is superb and will go out of their way. Absolutely loved it.

Pierre, the RC Lion, is open to all to receive! RC Hong Kong was hosting an instagram scavenger hunt, whereby anyone had to take certain pics in certain locations around the hotel (with and without team members). A fun way to engage guests.

Quick Murray report with a full report to come soon:
- This isn't an ideal location at all for first time Hong Kong visitors, despite being in Central, and certainly not in the summer heat. Regulars to Hong Kong may wish to give it a go to try out something different.
- Really a very, very beautiful looking hotel, being the dreaded "Instagram friendly" but in as nice a way as I can describe it. Hard product is stunning, if at times a little more picturesque than functional
- Facilities and amenities are top notch, especially for a Hong Kong hotel (I think only Peninsula, Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton currently have all the amenities/facilities that The Murray does - pool, gym, spa etc).
- Toto Japanese toilets!
- Rooms are spacious for Hong Kong but go N3 up. Too early to say how maintenance will hold up.
- Service needs improvement if it's going to compete with Upper House, Four Seasons, Peninsula, Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Mandarin Oriental and Ritz-Carlton. With a one night stay, always difficult to say how service was but the warmth factor is not there. Additionally, had several (minor) issues at breakfast that likely wouldn't/shouldn't happen at a luxury hotel. Also had a hilarious conversation with the concierge who was most unhelpful to the point that I just Googled what I wanted and found it.
Didn't really have time to try much food as I'll be going back for that shortly, but the venues are beautiful. I did have breakfast, which was decidedly sub par and for a hotel of its size, also lacking in variety all things considered.
Some quick photos:

I think the top hotels that have been around for a while would be 1. Four seasons
2. Upper house
3. MO
I recently stayed at The Murray and had a very pleasant stay. The murray suite was quite nice with water views and the IFC building illuminated at night. Anna Lopez was the club lounge manager at the RC HK and is now the guest relations Manager at the Murray and doing a fantastic job.

Another enjoyable but fleeting stay in MOHK . Top notch service as usual

TUH & perhaps MOHK again in December

TUH is a joke. Why people love this hotel ? for the bathroom ? Service is very average.
