We have been traveling to Hong Kong for over 30 years and have stayed at the Mandarin over a dozen times. It is like a home away from home. However, the typical home gets worn over time. Not the Mandarin. They have kept ahead of the challeges of an old building and while the rooms are small they are exceptionally well appointed and offer good technology connections etc. The service is as good as Asia can offer and the various food outlets are up to date. The Grill is completely upgraded and was wonderful for a reminiscent breakfast. Two small problems arose. First, the electronic keys were unreliable. We had to go downstairs several times. Taxis are always a problem in HK and the hotel could handle it better to make sure guests get to engagements on time, particularly at night. Small issues for the reliable Grand Dame of Asia.

The Mandarin Orinetal HK is by far the best hotel we have been fortunate enough to stay in. We had a fantatsic delux oriental suite with harbour views for six nights over Christmas. The room was suprebly appointed with every thing you would need from a spacious, grand bathroom to, warm and comfotable bedroom , large but cosy lounge and fully stocked work desk with all the stationary and electronics that you would require. We also dined in Pierre , excellent, the Mandarin Grill & Bar , superb. We had breakfast in the Clipper lounge and Cafe Causette, both wonderful. Dined also in the Chinnery , brilliant,and had many a drink in the Captains Bar and M Bar both have which have great atomospheres. For cake lovers the cake shop is a must. The most oustanding feature was the incredibly high level of service and attention to detail by all the staff. An example would be when we asked the concierge for details of how to visit the Peak , the use of the peak tram,visting the Big Buddha and the use of the cable car and the ferry to Macau and a lunch reservation in MO Macau. Not only did we get excellent advice but the concierge organised all the reservations and got all the tickets we needed. Therfore we did not need to queue at all we just had plenty of time to enjoy the experiences. I would say that you would find it very hard to find a better hotel in the world than this.

We had 3 rooms early January and the service was excellent. I had some doubts about the location because it is in the financial district but after comparing it to the mainland hotels, I much prefer this location. Service was excellent, everyone extremely helpful, very easy to get around, no complaints at all.

The hotel I have most often revisited. I have always had an outstanding experience. The staff made me feel welcome every time and treated both myself and my guests perfectly. The restaurants are excellent as are the bars. And the location in Central is perfect for me. I always look forward to returning here. the one drawback is, that it can be pricey
Very highly recommended.
