Conrad: Not bad for 5 Conrad Hong Kong Review

The Conrad hotel in Hong Kong is a place I continue to return to. On my second trip to Hong Kong, I returned for my birthday with my girlfriend, it was her first time to Hong Kong. I wanted to show her a good time so I went for the Conrad. Conrad Hilton is the only Hilton property in town. This is a fantastic hotel to stay with its 5 star rating, which is just a slight step below full on luxury brands.

At a price of approximately $500 US per night I was also able to extend our stay cheaply by using Hilton Honors points for most of the nights.

The hotel itself is located above Pacific Place shopping center at the Admirality stop of the MTR. Surrounded by the Shangri La and the JW Marriott it is a 61-story building with stunning harbor views. The rooms have just recently been through a renovation and all include DVD and new TVs, comfortable king beds with full turndown service, and a working desk with pay per day internet access. The bathrooms are well appointed with your standards of high end. Double sinks, stand-alone shower and large Jacuzzi tubs and separate toilets.

My only experience has been staying on the executive floors in ocean view rooms (harbor view) and must say that the service has been incredible. For my birthday I received a special treat, a piece of cake with a card signed by the entire executive floor staff. A very nice and personal touch.

YMCA Salisbury: Suite with Harbor view for 130 USD?

We booked this place as a cheap night for the arrival as we didnt want to pay Conrad rates or use 40,000 HH points when arriving at midnight. What a find it turned out to be. I will always stay here night of arrival and possibly more. We checked in. Had reserved a Harbor view. No clue what it meant other than we could see the harbor. When we got upstairs to our room in the north tower it was a suite. Never saw it coming. Had full on view of the harbor and HKI in the area near IFC from the living room and only slightly restricted view from the bedroom. Amazing.
And all this for only 130 USD. I know there are cheap places to stay in every town. Even Hong Kong. But this to me is incredible value.
