JW Marriott Hong Kong, Hong Kong

My wife and I went to Japan and then HK in Dec 2005- Jan 2006. We stayed in several very nice hotels while we were in Tokyo, Kyoto, Hakone, and Osaka. We had planned to stay with my wife's sister and her husband when we reached HK. However, when we got there we discovered we would be sleeping on a futon-like day bed in the second bedroom. After one night, my bad back had enough and I started to look up hotels to stay at in HK. I found the JW Marriott with rooms available on the suite and business suite floors. We ended up booking a room in a business suite for around $425 (USD) per day for 9 days. The price may seem a little high, but it was totally worth every dollar we spent. They had free highspeed internet service (I do agree with the other post about the connection problems, the WiFi being problematic at times, but the corded connection was fine.), free breakfast (Dim Sum and Western types), free cocktails at night, library service (magazines, books, and games can be checked-out to rooms), free desktop computer "rental" (if you didn't bring your own), office services (such as printing, faxing, copying, post office, etc.), and an excellent concierge service (tickets, tours, visa and currency service, etc.). The room was very large (over 1000 sq ft. I believe) and had a very nice bathroom with large shower, SEPERATE bathtub, and make-up/ vanity area. The bed was large and comfortable and we had a perfect view of the harbour. The hotel was connected to the adjacent mall, which made it too easy for my wife to go back and forth between the hotel and shopping. The staff was very friendly and helpful. For those of you who do not speak any Chinese (Cantonese or Mandarin) the staff speaks English very well and will always be happy to practice their English speaking with you. One thing you will discover throughout all of China is the eagerness of almost all the people (expecially the younger people) to practice their English language skills. Afterall, China has the largest population of English speaking people in the world. Some of the staff members also speak a few European languages like French, German, Spainish, etc., just ask the concierge for assistance. The hotel has easy access to public transportation, such as the underground (subway), ferry services, buses, and taxis. I've stayed at Marriott hotels before while travelling, and this was my first time staying at a JW Marriott, but not my last. This hotel has spoiled me forever! Whenever we travel we always look first to see if the city has a JW Marriott hotel available. If the destination does have one we stay there. When we went to Las Vegas we always stayed at one of the large casino hotels, and now we book our room at the Vegas JW Marriott. My only problem with the JW Marriott in Hong Kong, and it would be more so my problem, would be with some of the power outlets. As you may know when travelling to a foriegn country, such as Hong Kong, different powerplug styles and voltages are used. Most of the time you need to carry a travel adapter with you so you can plug in your electronics (computers, iPods, etc.) so they can be used. The US powerplugs will noy usually fit anyways. However, the desk in the room had a desk lamp with the US powerplug configuration. I thought it was safe to plug in my XBox 360. Sadly, I was very wrong, and the 360 power adapter was fried. I had to buy a new adapter when I returned home to California. So if you plan on becoming a world traveller make sure you buy a power adapter set that will allow you to use your electronics no matter where you are. Use it even if it looks like your plug will fit okay in the wall socket because the voltage and amperage could be different enough to kill your device. DocBrown

is the bestfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

We worked in Hong Kong for two years. When my family arrived we stayed in JW Marriott. A superb pool! Great location. Wonderful staff. Terrific facilities. When we return we always enjoy the JW Marriott! Staff friendly and located within the shopping center Pacific Place Mall and next to Hong Kong Park. It is such a relaxing time to spend watching the boats in the Hong Kong Harbour.

we are very like to this hotel because there are many facilities e.g. romance,pool,hot and beautiful girls which we want to take.I like this place very much.

The hotel is excellent. What's so great abouth this hotel is the location. It is near to some top attractions in Hong Kong like the Disneyland. The spas are great too. I enjoyed my 4 day stay in this hotel. The dining experience is fantastic.

The rooms were clean, beds comfortable. An amazing number of TV channels. Rooms were not big but OK. Bathroom was fine. I had problems with the Internet connection in my room and had to work in the lobby. $5 US cab ride to most of central HK. Attached to a large shopping mall and 1 block from HK Park and the tram to the top of HK.

It was the best hotel i have ever visited. THe pool was fantastic. The massage was lovely. But over all the staff was wonderful. I have never been to a hotel as good as this and i have stayed in hotels all around the world. There is no word that could describe the JW Marriot hotel. But Utopia comes pretty close. My kids enjoyed and so did my wife. And usually she dosen't enjoy anything. It was like heaven, but better in hundreds of ways.

World class hotel with every amentity you can imagine. Fabulous roof-top pool. Gorgeous gym and spa. I have stayed here many times. One of my favorites in the world!
