Property: Conrad Hong Kong
Booked: King Deluxe Room
Received: King Executive Peak Suite
My go to HK hotel, always great and generous with upgrades. Nice to see same familiar faces in the exec lounge, some work there for 15+ years! The lounge doesn’t offer good wines but has decent coughtail list, they make good Negroni. Breakfast was served in the lobby bar as restaurant being refurbished. Wasn’t as extensive as the usual Conrad breakfast but sufficient nonetheless.
Property: Conrad Orchard Singapore
Booked: King Deluxe Room
Received: King Deluxe Balcony Suite
My first stay at this reflagged property (formerly Regent hotel). First impression gives a distinct 1980s hotel vibe with the typical architecture from that area. The designers couldn’t do much about the lobby but they did good job with the rooms. My suite was quite big, there was living room, bedroom, two toilets and even two balconies, unusual and not really practical in SIN where it’s either too hot and humid or too hot and humid and rainy.
I particularly liked the drinking water tap, eliminates the need to use plastic bottles. On top of the Nespresso machine they also offer Bacha coffee which my +1 love, as well as TWG tea. Dyson hair dryer is nice touch as well as the multiple charging options by the bed including USB-C, finally!
Exec lounge and breakfast were adequate for Conrad standard. Service was exceptional, everyone was super nice and attentive. Location is not bad, about 13 min walk to Orchard Rd. There is bus station just in from of the hotel which goes through Orchard Rd all the way to airport.
