The Ritz and Renaissance are pretty good. Service at the JW is good, but the rooms are really small and the lounge is overcrowded.

Best Value for points: Ovolo Southside - It is one stop from the main train line and at the fraction of the points of other redemptions. Rooms are small, but they do restock the complementary mini bar daily. Also they have onsite laundry which can be very helpful. When I am traveling by myself and am going to be out all day, this hotel makes the most sense. It is close to the MTR.

Best Free Breakfast Option: W Hong Kong. They have a rooftop pool and are attached to the same mall as the Ritz Carlton. They have become a little stingy for upgrades recently but overall have a nice vibe. You can take the train directly from the airport here. (Kowloon Stop)

Best View and Experience: Ritz Carlton. They are the world highest hotel and are very proactive in ensuring you have a great stay. No lounge access, but try to arrange ahead of time for the Harbor View. The views are breathtaking. If you don’t stay here, make sure to visit the bar on the 118th floor. You can take the train directly from the airport here (Kowloon Stop).

Best Boutique: Mira Moon. This hotel is pretty amazing in terms of design and thought put into the detail of the hotel. It is between two different MTR stops and is a little hidden. They upgraded me even though they did not need to.

Most Lively Area: The Mira. This hotel is where Edward Snowden went to after leaking the government spying program. After going there I could see why he felt safe there as a random person at night. It is in the heart of TST and close to the MRT station. When I went there, they upgraded my room to one that had a whirlpool and a sauna in the room. If not using points, I have seen some very reasonable corporate rates (close to $120 USD a night) that still earn points

Worst Redemption: The Sheraton. It is close to Victoria harbor but has different side of the hotel depending on whether you want to pay to upgrade or not (Platinum Members included). Each side had a different lounge depending on whether you were willing to pay for it. Under SPG, it was 36000 points a night vs the 50000 points asking price now.

Newest Hotel: Marriott Ocean Park. I haven’t stayed here but it seems to be close to the MTR that is one stop from the main MTR line in HK. Redemption seems reasonable and you will still be able to able to get around HK very easily.

Ritz is nice

Love that Ritz, but before you book there ensure you understand where you need to be as it’s across the bay in Kowloon. When I’m in HK I usually just book something within walking distance to my destination.

Was at the Ren last year for 5 night award stay and got upgraded to a dynasty suite. Service was impeccable.

Stayed at both Ritz and JW. JW is great as it is attached to MTR (public transit) and easy to get anywhere on the island or back over to the Kowloon side.

Thank you all! Looks like it’s definitely ritz or ren! I did see the st Regis opens right before I go so might have to try that?

I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?
