Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong: 7/10
While Covid-19 restrictions are in place and the Four Seasons’ facelift is under way, executive club access has been limited to guests who book suites – but, those fabulously large harbour-view suites are currently selling at half the usual price. There have been some amendments to the service: breakfast is now served in the lobby lounge or as room service. But you can still hang out in the Four Seasons’ plush 45th-floor lounge, admiring the harbour vistas for afternoon tea and evening drinks (from 6pm until 10pm), so you won’t feel like you’re missing out. Lounge guests are also given a HK$1,000 dining credit, which can be enjoyed in the lounge or your room. A full bar is yours to abuse, upstairs or down, from 9am to 10pm, daily, and includes beers, spirits, liqueurs, wine and champagne.
Thumbs up: Bollinger champagne morning, noon and night.
Thumbs down: you might have to wait for a table in the lobby for the popular afternoon tea service.
Stay: harbour-view suites with lounge perks from HK$5,940.
Verdict: significantly less than the pre-pandemic price and more than possible to get your money’s worth.
Island Shangri-La: 6/10
