Rosewood Hong Kong Review: 70+ nights in World's #2 hotel (#1 in Asia).

I stayed at Rosewood Hong Kong during its opening week in March of 2019 and have spend over 70 cumulative nights there. I've also booked many clients at this property. Due to its recent prestigious awards, many people have asked why I like this hotel so much. I figured I'd make a review to showcase it to you all. Hope you enjoy it!

Just discovered this channel. Didn't skip a second of this whole video. Beautiful delivery & presentation. Kudos to you, sir. I love HK's skyline and would love to be able to stay at Rosewood.

[@haotang]

Thank you very much and I hope you get to visit Rosewood HK soon!!

[@sonographer1988]

One of the best travel reviews I’ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing!

[@haotang]

Thanks dude!!

Buddy this is not a review, it's an advertising feature. Cmon dude....

[@haotang]

I can understand your pov and fair enough. But it's how good my stays have been. Would be the same if I made up negatives just to avoid people thinking is a sales pitch. But I guess maybe it is in fact an ad as I actively recommend Rosewood HK to my clients. And I can make a commission from ANY hotel. I get your point and thanks for sharing! Just to note: I think I still spent around USD 40,000 on my recent stay at Rosewood so it's certainly not an influencer deal or anything like that.

[@yashkataruka9968]

[@user-jp6of6tx6v]

What's your job and how much you earn? I wonder what kind of job can let me spend USD 40k just to stay hotel. Watching your video really show how poor my fucking life is😅

[@haotang]

​@@user-jp6of6tx6v I run my own Luxury Travel firm and guide my clients to stay at the best properties across the globe. As you can imagine, a large of my part is trying all types of hotels to find the best so I allocate a good budget for hotels. Very fortunate to have incredible clients and hotel partners. Which has allowed the business to well. But I didn't start here. When I was younger, I couldn't afford to travel at all. It took some time and luck to get here :)

[@sandeepthilakan7728]

I fondly remember our stay in a club grand harbour view room at the brand-new Rosewood HK in May 2019, and I was blown away by the hard product. We never visited HK since then due to the protests and Covid. Is this your favourite city hotel? And of course, I will book a room through you next time for a sweet upgrade ;)

[@haotang]

NICE!! I recall feeling the same during my Mar 2019 visit. This is for sure one of my all time favorite city hotels. The other being Aman Tokyo. Hope you guys can make it back to HK soon. It really does feel very normal again. Like in 2019.

[@louisemann3306]

Great review. We love the Rosewood HK, beautiful decor and view. Perhaps we were unlucky, but the suite we stayed in had a bad smell, brown stains on the carpet, and animal furs on the sofa. The reason for this is that dogs and cats are allowed in the rooms. Next time, I'll inquire if there is a pet-free floor.

[@haotang]

Very sorry to hear about the issues you guys had. Hope they were able to move you to another suite and recover from there. There are for sure pet free rooms and I think they may no longer be allowing pets as well. Hope your next visit will be much better!

[@silluete]

You really growing well as channel. First time in Amankyoto video it's shaking cam. Now the video have very charming feel. Wait... Why I feel proud for some internet guy?! Anyway very entertaining video. Thanks for sharing.

[@haotang]

Haha thanks so much! Very kind of you to share and I agree about the poor quality of the Aman Kyoto video. I left it up so I can look and see how bad it was and the need to always make progress.

[@rodart1945]

Love your presentation!

[@haotang]

Thanks so much!

[@nikserof2183]

Fascinating "review." One has to wonder what the ranking criteria are😁. Interesting décor; a mixed bag. 2:44 3:06 Homely curtains obstructing the view. 2:29 9:43 No mixer taps, separate ones that look as though they would be hard to grip. Light coloured furnishings that look will show the dirt. So many mirrored surfaces that housekeeping must loathe. 14:38 Toilet with lid open - what a faux pas. Clearly to each their own; I think I'll stick with my favourites in Tung Chung and Jordan.

[@haotang]

Thanks for sharing your POV! I often don't agree with these rankings at all. I find a lot of the rankings are completely off and some can be purchased. All that aside, I do love this particular hotel. I would always stay here in HK in the foreseeable future, regardless if this is ranked #1 or dead last no someone's list. But people do like their lists :)

[@haotang]

Sorry to hear about COVID. It impacted so many. Haha yes, the mirrors are very challenging. I was asking the Rosewood team how they do it. I guess just lots of time from the housekeeping team lol. Cheers!

looks quite promotional to me. Stayed there once. I had not complaints but my roomate didn't like the service. he said there are issues with the details of the room. He also noticed that the back alleys of the worker's area were quite messy (with dishes placed on the floor of the corridor) as he was able to have a peek because the door wasn't closed properly.

[@billinsf88]

I can’t imagine the cost to stay there🥹

[@haotang]

It's expensive if you're new to Luxury Hotel. But very cheap/great value if compared to similar level of hotels in Tokyo, Paris, New York and some of the big markets in the world.

[@billinsf88]

@@haotang can you share how much per night and is the monthly stay a better value?

[@haotang]

@@billinsf88 Obviously the exact dates will matter as there are low and high seasons. But as a general range, the Harbour Corner Suite probably goes for USD 1,700 - USD 2,200 per night before tax. I then upgrade my clients to the Grand Harbour Corner Suite. Which can sell between USD 1,900 - USD 2,500 per night before tax. Depending on dates. Monthly stays are cheaper if you're staying in the Rosewood Residence but it's a slightly different product.

[@billinsf88]

@@haotang thank you for this information. Am planning to visit HK in the fall for a month, I just didn’t know Rosewood has a property there!

This is one of the worst top hotel in the world. They use fake leather to make the chairs in the lobby. It’s completely bad review .

[@fedesartorio]

Looks very tacky for a 5 star hotel! For people with no taste who want to show off

[@yorktons]

Just stayed there last night. Most overrated hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Location is horrible. Very inconvenient. Room is so so. Bathroom sinks look very cheap and get dirty easily. Bath water was very hot but shower water could only get to lukewarm at best. Could hear my neighbours having a casual conversation. Wooden toothbrush made me gag. Only single amenity was skin lotion. Headboard was cloth which is disgusting. No desk for working. Breakfast restaurant was so cold it makes the food frozen within five minutes. Service is great but NOT worth the price.

[@yorktons]

Oh and I might add…easily the most insane mini bar prices I have ever seen. It’s just so ridiculous that I can’t even imagine rich people using it. Most disappointing by value hotel I have ever stayed at in my life. Stay at upper house if you wanna spend this type of money or the club floor at the Pullman (for value)

[@haotang]

Very sorry to hear that was your experience! You should definitely let the Rosewood HK team know about your stay/experience. Can't speak to the Holt's Cafe for breakfast as I always and my clients stay in a Club Room or Suite with Manor Club access. But Holt's Cafe was always fine in terms of temp. when I visited for lunch. Curious, what are some of the hotels you've stayed and liked? Aside from Upper House and Pullman.

[@ilikealotofthings731]

All the issues you stated suck, but calling the location "horrible" is a major exaggeration. Rosewood is literally located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui with many malls, transport services, and even legacy hotels like The Peninsula right beside it. I wouldn't call it "horrible" by any means..

[@yorktons]

@@haotangDon't get me wrong...the stay was fantastic, but for the price and their number 2 world rating, I guess i expected more. It is definitely more of a see and be seen hotel. I was at the very back of the Cafe so maybe it was just our table, but it ruined the experience because I was in a hurry to get out of there because we were frozen (I had a jacket on too). I have stayed at pretty much every 5 star hotel in HK. My favorites are Upper House (which has an awesome amenity kit like first class on a plane, plus the mini bar is free, sans alcohol) and K11 Artus (which really has the super wow factor but to get nit picky they had a flash like strobe on the fire alarm above the bed which was literally torturing me when i was trying to sleep as it blinked on and off every few seconds). Pullman gets my value mention because the location is great, and if you book a club room you can basically have breakfast, tea time and unlimited hors d'oeuvres, wine and beer at night. The Rosewood Grand Harbour Corner Suite runs like $3,000 USD, so I am more of a value picker for 5 stars because I would never pay that much for a hotel room (although Upper House upgraded me once to a suite, which was the nicest room i have ever stayed at in Hong Kong).

[@yorktons]

@@haotangAnd serious question because my girlfriend and me were honestly wondering...are those holes in the blackout blinds on purpose to look like stars in the sky? Of which was another one of my whiny gripes. Blackout blinds should...black out.

[@jordan771]

But Hong Kong is a hell hole. There’s nothing to do there. Boring AF. It’s always Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, Mong Kok. That’s about it. Conrad Ambassador Suite in Macau looks better than this. It has a cinema room and boasts more than 2,000 sq.ft.

[@aptyp3109]

egg tart is portuguese pastery, not local HK.

[@haotang]

You're absolutely correct that the origin of it is in fact Portuguese. However, when Portuguese settlement between 1557 to 1999 took place in Macau, the egg tart very much became part of the local culture. The HK version I referred to technically has a bit of British custard tart influence / fusion as well. Anyone who grew up in Hong Kong over the past few generations would in fact associate egg tart as a local food. No different than Americans thinking Burgers are local American food. Even though the origin isn't at all.

[@aptyp3109]

@@haotang Im Portuguese, so i found it odd, but then i made a reflection on the potencial cultural impact of Macau on HK, and made sense. Its a great pastry 😁 anyways great video man.
