We stayed at the InterContinental on May 27, 28 and 29, 2008. All I can say is "wow." By far one of the nicest hotels we have ever visited. Service is excellent (front desk staff helpful, room service exceptional, maid service-thorough). Upon arrival, we had a short wait for our room (10-15 minutes). We had reserved a king bed, non-smoking, harbourview room (well worth the extra charge). We were assigned room 929. The room itself is very good size and comfortably laid out. The bed and linens were fabulous. The view was just breathtaking (great to watch the light show). The room had a bit of a musty smell, but quickly "aired out" as we came and went. Very quiet hotel. Breakfast buffet was AMAZING! So many choices and different items each day. Service was prompt and efficient. Breakfast area is a bit cozy, but fine. (Hotel even arranged 5:30 AM room service for us on the day we departed, since the buffet would not yet be open....no extra charge.) We did not eat meals, other than breakfast at the hotel. Plenty of close-by dining options at lower cost. One evening we got "to go" from Delifrance (just across the plaza from the hotel) and a bottle of wine and dessert from the bake shop/fine foods shop (side entrance) at the Royal Garden Hotel just up the street and had a picnic in our room. Plenty to see and do in Hong Kong. (Victoria Peak and Stanley Market are a must). I had a suit made at Sam's Tailor (94 Nathan Rd.). We enjoyed exploring the City (Temple Street Night Market, great fun). Can also recommend lunch or dinner at Contro Italian Restaurant in the plaza right beside the hotel (great menu, good service, delicious food). Hotel is ideal location for exploring (beautiful walkway along harbor). Can't say enough about the great time we had here. Only downsides: if you are unlucky and get a room with a view of the overpass....your harbourview is slightly obstructed. Coincierge is very stuffy....he did help us with reservations and a couple of questions, but we had the impression he would much prefer to deal with business travelers than tourists. This is an excellent hotel with a mix of both travelers. Highly recommend.

We stayed at the hotel for 4nights, and had a brilliant time. The hotel is fab. We had a full harbour view room which is lovely, good size bathroom, huge bed, tv, mini bar etc, and great to watch the light show in the evening. We went room only and paid for breakfast at the hotel which offered a good selection of buffet food.

The hotel had A la Carte restaurants, but we choose to eat out - Starbucks is within 5minutes, as is Outback Steak House, which does great pasta and prawns. Opposite the hotel is a small square with a few shops, bars and restaurants, all are good, and its great to sit out of an evening.

You can walk along the harbour front, which is lovely first thing in the morning.

We went over to the island a couple of times, you can go by star ferry, or the tube. Buy an Oyster card, from a tube station, you can then use in the 7-11 shops as well, and its the best way to use the buses, trains and ferries, the lowest fare is always deducted.

Do go up to the peak - but make sure you pick a clear day. Go over and see the largest outdoor buddha by cable car. The evening markets are good, especially the ladies market has absolutely everything and dont be afraid to barter. The temple market is ok, but for me the ladies market was the best.

The spaghetti house was also very good, great for lunch.

We had a great time, and will certainly return in the future. Where ever you stay in Hong Kong, its accessible.....

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Hotel is very classy and tasteful. We chose to upgrade to a suite but our suite was very noisy. When we complained we were upgraded at no extra cost to an even better room. Staff were lovely. They did have issues with their billing service though and we had to query the bill more than once. Pool and gym were great. Rendevous buffet dinner and breakfast outstanding.

We stayed at the beautiful Intercontinental Grand Standford Kowloon HK, for our wedding anniversary and we were upgraded to a Suite with Harbour View . We have a great experience our room so clean and we had champagne on arrival + chocolate cake they are so thoughtful Hotel. The Club facility is first class and the staff helpful and informative. We travel extensively and this Hotel set a standard by which we will judge other luxury hotel. We even have some great food in the Restaurant and are planning to return later this year. This Hotel so close to everything to the Tsim Sat Sthui Shopping centre, Disneyland and Pandas only took 1 hour ..just use taxi cheap there.
