Hotel Review: The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong (Club Deluxe Victoria Harbour Room) - World's Highest Hotel

When I visited Hong Kong in November (2016) last year, I traveled directly from Haneda on ANA's Boeing 787 Dreamliner (787-900) product in Business Class (check out my review of ANA's Business Class here!). While the hard product was very good, I can't help but to feel that the service on-board Singapore Airlines in Business Class was consistently better. In any case, I was pretty excited to check out the World's Highest Hotel, The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong after paying so much for a club room there. Check out my review of this luxurious property with sweeping views of the city.

The Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong is truly a gem in the hotel industry in Singapore.

Hotel Review: Oasia Residence, Singapore (Studio) - Comfortable Serviced Residence in the West

Located along West Coast Crescent, Oasia Residence, Singapore is Far East Hospitality's latest addition to the Oasia brand portfolio in Singapore.

The Oasia Residence, Singapore is a serviced apartment that offers 140 studios and apartments (one and two bedrooms) for longer-staying guests who are looking for a home away from home experience.

Hotel Review: Crowne Plaza Auckland (Executive Suite)

The Crowne Plaza Auckland is located on Albert Street in the center of Auckland City. When I travelled down to the City of Sails on Singapore Airlines' Suites Class from Singapore last November, I stayed in The Langham Auckland before moving to the Crowne Plaza Auckland for the weekend - the hotel isn't brand new but moving into a property that is part of a much-larger international chain where benefits are predictable is such a great decision.

Hotel Review: InterContinental Singapore (Grand Deluxe Room)

Connected to one of the most famous shopping malls in Bugis, the InterContinental Singapore needs no introduction - following a massive refurbishment that officially completed in 2016, the rooms here at this luxurious property have been given a complete makeover. The Heritage Rooms and Heritage Suites were previously redone and were therefore not included in the most recent refresh. Check out my review of the Grand Deluxe Room at the InterContinental Singapore!

Hotel Review: Grand Hyatt Hong Kong (Victoria Harbour Suite)

As part of my extended vacation in November 2016, I flew directly from Haneda Airport to Hong Kong International Airport via ANA's 787-900 on Business Class. The most memorable hotel during my short stay in Hong Kong has got to be the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong which has in recent years, gone through a series of extensive multi-million dollar renovation phases. Located on Harbour Road in Wan Chai, the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong is situated next to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre which makes it a popular accommodation choice amongst business travellers.

Hotel Review: Conrad Tokyo (King Executive Room Bay View)

The Conrad Tokyo is often regarded as one of Tokyo's best city hotels. When I visited Tokyo in November 2016, I checked out the Singapore Airlines' 777-300ER's Business Class from Singapore to Haneda and I stayed at the Hilton Tokyo for most nights of my trip - it was only 200,000 Hilton Honors points for five nights and having Diamond status in the Hilton Honors program meant guaranteed lounge access. I moved to the luxurious Conrad Tokyo after five nights and was truly impressed by the service and design of this place.
