Loved Grand Hyatt Hong Kong
by TripAdvisor Member yuwaltz
One of the best hotels I've stayed in Asia. The Club Level rooms are not big but comfortable. I was upgraded to a larger room during my last visit. Absolutely loved the decor, contemporary furnishing, black and white photos, marble bathroom... Also really, really enjoyed the food, especially their own Duck Liver Pate. It's heavenly! If it wasn't my first stop in Asia, I would have bought 2 jars to take home. The lunch and dinner buffet were also very nice. The selection of food was probably not as large as some of the hotel buffets in HK and Taipei, but the quality was absolutely impressive. They also have a dessert buffet at the Tiffin Lounge from 4pm to 1am with many tasty sweets, chocolates, cheese, both Chinese and Western, to choose from. The lobby is a good peopole watching spot, especially weekend evenings. Although the price is fairly high (but not higher than other 5 star hotels in the region), I will definitely stay there again.
Fantastic!

A very classy lady! What an experience at this hotel. Yes it is expensive but well worth it. We had a harbour view room on the 20th floor, the view is to die for! A few points that make this hotel stand out for me - check in is quick, cheerful and very very professional. Receptionist escorts you to the lift and presses the floor button, small but nice touch. Another nice touch is that the lifts when not in use are always on the ground floor and the doors are open. Again small point but it is surprising how welcome that seems.
Room is not particularly large but nicely decorated in neutrals with a black and gold bathroom.
Room service is efficient. We ordered ice most evenings which arrived promptly. Approx 90 minutes after delivering the first ice bucket a top up arrived without being ordered. Everywhere smartly dressed Hyatt staff smile, wave and help where they can.
I got in the lift with one of them who promptly got a tissue out of her bag and proceeded to polish the lift button panel, she had obviously seen a finger print!
The concierge desk is great. We travelled around quite a bit and they were invaluable. Train and bus information (including bus numbers and fares) were provided plus a host of other valuable information.
Grand Hyatt Hong Kong - you are an outstanding example of how a 5 star hotel should operate.
Well done.

Buffet at Hyatt Hong Kong or Cafe Too at Island Shangrila
by karenloves2travel
Hi,
I had the opportunity of experiencing the dessert buffet at the Hyatt when in Hong Kong last November. We are returning to Hong Kong in May and will celebrate my husband's birthday. I was thinking of going to the full buffet at the Hyatt for dinner but was wanting opinions on whether a better choice would be the Cafe Too at Island Shangrila? I don't like the standard buffet with average food so would be looking for something special. I really value your opinion as I have had some wonderful advice from this forum for my previous holidays.

Cafe Too is not your standard buffet. The seafood is great and the dessert buffet just as good! Worth a try!
