Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong
Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong located at Central offers an excellent service. It is a must for everyone to stay for at least once. Room rate per night is not cheap. I did find a weekend package rate from the hotel website; more than what I want to pay but being a quick getaway from all, it's worth it. You can book this hotel through Macau's STDM travel agency; for that, the rate is about $2,700 HK per night plus taxes. Though you get no choice of what room you get. Mine, booked via the hotel website, is a Harbour view one. As I am typing this, I am overlooking the Victoria Harbour. The hotel is only about a 7-minute walk from Macau Hong Kong Ferry Terminal over an above the street walkway. As well, this hotel is only a 2-minute walk from IFC Tower where the Hong Kong Airport Express station is. So, this hotel is strategically well located.
There are two outdoor swimming pools on the 6th floor. One is a lap pool and the other is an Infiniti pool facing the Harbour. Deepest end in the pool is about 1.2m. It is very interesting looking up from the pool to see all the tall buildings and behind your back is all those buildings up the hill. In the middle of Central, you get an oasis! Recommend time to spend at the pool, first thing in the morning at 630 am or 7am.
The hotel does not recommend you drink from the tab; it provides complimentary Fiji bottled water (500ml) as many as you want! I think Audrey and I have gone thru over 2L per person each day. There is nowhere in the hotel room telling you complimentary bottled water; I found it out by calling the frontdesk about drinking from the tab water.
The gym is quite nice; it's a 24-hour one. "manned" service is from 6am to 10pm. It was nice having the gym by youself at 530am! The complimentary freshly squeezed watermelon and Guava juice, bottled Fiji water and various tea are available for guests.
O, there is a complimentary shuttle service from the Hong Kong Airport Express station to the hotel; I recommend walking unless you have tonnes of stuff. The driving take longer than walking to the hotel.
