I wouldn't say kissed and made up, as I still think they way they treat Plat benefits is out of order. However, they did look after us very well while we were there.
Having said that, it was an unusual trip for me as there was seven in the party (I kept getting told off for shooting off everywhere at speed forgetting I was with other people ) and after hunting around and weighing up all the options, the Sheraton came out top.

I checked in yesterday to the W for 6 nights - upgraded to a Fabulous room. The hotel is full during this period so even though I checked in around 2-3pm, I had to wait a few hours for a room to become available.
I had a few cocktails in the Living Room yesterday and think that I could spend a lot more time there going through the interesting sounding cocktail list! The hotel seems nice enough and convenient for the airport but not great at all as far as being next to one of the least used stations on the MTR is concerned (thank goodness HK taxis are relatively cheap!).
I was interested to read about a special rate for locals. The X'mas activities booklet in the room says:
WHIRLWIND WEEKEND
From now through March 1, 2010, extend your stay or check in in on a Friday or Saturday, and stay the following night at 50% off the previous night's best available rate.
Best of all, this special is also applicable to our exclusive Hong Kong/Macau ID cardholders' rate.
Subject to availability and best available rate pricing.

I do like the turndown service chocs - a different one for each day of the week! So far:
Sunday night - dark
Monday - milk
Tuesday - orange
Wednesday - sea salt
Thursday - mint
Friday - raspberry
Saturday - lemon
Also little touches like a sweet returned with your laundry. A room service menu from Kitchen which is 24-hours unlike most hotels with a very limited night time selection.
Alas , I can't find the W Intimacy Kit in my room!Last edited by jhm; 27 February 2010, 11:40 PM.

Originally posted by jhm View PostI've stayed twice at the W HKG now (once on a normal rate and the other time with the HK local rate) and both times, all I got was a single cocktail glass with three brandy snaps inside. No suite upgrade either. No Wuv felt here!
Was upgraded to Corner Room though.
Only got the brandy snaps thingy - no fancy platters that KeithMEL got.

Unless you're KeithMEL, the W will turn out to be a disappointment?
Shucks... not that bad, but I didn't get any fancy platter on my second night. I got a (I think) generic Christmas platter on the first night out of two nights when I was there. Mostly some sweet icing shaped into Santa's face.
