  For the Regent Hong Kong, more room choices become available from 01 July (which is HKSAR Establishment Day and could see the return of fireworks in the harbour in front of the hotel).

    Used to always go here for Chinese New Year. If you book a seat in the lounge, buffet or restaurant and you can just head out the back for the fireworks. Expensive… usually with a few 8’s in the price for luck… but the queues for the fireworks are mental.

      I had a very memorable Chinese New Year there also a few years back. From memory I managed to get a room with a AMB BOGO weekend cert and they bumped me up to an exec room looking over the harbor, fireworks were incredible.

      Sadly HK is off the list now personally due to CCP being CCP.

  The HK Regent must be in high demand the rates are 2-3x the old prices and 50% more than the HK Ritz Carlton.

  Both AF and KLM codes are already dead. They weren’t working late last night. OT does anyone know a way of getting ITA Airlines status recognised with AF/KLM at time of booking rather than on day of travel?

  I hope @Rhys gets an invite to the Regent Cannes re-opening party.

    I’ll be nicking that one off him if it comes in!

      Only on HfP could the potential for coverage range from Greggs sausage rolls to opening party’s in Cannes!

      During the festival and all the hype around it 😉

        My guess is there will be a number of re-opening events, the comparison being what fizz you were given, if you get Crémant you’ll know where you stand.

  Pre-Covid, the international check-in and check-out time was 12 noon. I feel that this is another standard that has permanently slipped because having earlier check-out times and later check-in times saves money or is a money-maker. I don’t call 2pm a late check-out, it is a mishap. 10pm is a late check-out.

  I book an extra night if I have a late departure – always cheaper than paying the hotel’s official late check-out fee.

    What? Checkout has been 10/11am and check-in 2/3pm for decades

      I’d hate to stay where you stay but normal check-out is 12pm with some at 11am. I wouldn’t stay a place with a 10am checkout unless I was setting off early to travel.

        Youth Hostel checkout is 10.00am. Nuff said. I certainly wouldn’t stay anywhere that had a 10am checkout, as that’s indicative the hotel tends to “skimp” in other things.

        I also don’t view 2pm as a particularly big concession either. For me, 4pm means a hotel is beginning to try…(and these times, regardless of status).

  100% agree about the view from the balcony over the harbour – even at 04:00 in the dark after a severely delayed and rerouted flight.

  700 pounds per night for a standard room in March.. I guess they don’t want many people at the beginning

  • TGLoyalty says:

    Exactly and They probably don’t have many rooms
