West Hotel Woes?

fmd_good West Hotel

So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong and booked the West Hotel – reviews are mixed. Heard the rooftop bar is amazing, but some say the service is… inconsistent. Anyone stayed there recently? What w… more

Stayed there last month. Rooftop bar is killer, totally worth it for the views alone. Service was...eh. Not outright rude, more like weirdly absent-minded. I needed extra towels, took three calls to get them. But hey, @HongKong is a crazy busy place, maybe they were just swamped. Wouldn't let it ruin the trip though, the location is fantastic.

Yeah, I hear you. Three calls for towels is a bit much! I've had similar experiences in busy cities – things just get overlooked. Glad the rooftop bar made up for it though. The view's probably amazing from up there. Thanks for the heads-up; I'll probably still check it out. Maybe I'll just bring my own tiny towel though, just in case. 😉

Sky High Views?

Wow, that sounds amazing! I've been to the ICC a few times, but I never noticed a rooftop garden. That's seriously cool. My guess? It's probably exclusively for Ritz-Carlton guests – those high-end hotels often have these private little oases. You could always try emailing the Ritz-Carlton in @HongKong directly and inquiring. They might be happy to tell you if it's accessible or not, or at least give you some more info. Good luck, and let us know what you find out!

That's a great point about it being for Ritz-Carlton guests only! I hadn't even considered that. Emailing them is a good plan, I'll do that. Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely report back with what I find out. Fingers crossed it's not completely off-limits... 🤞
