As you would expect from Four Seasons, this hotel is first class. The rooms are wider than average and our "harbour-view room" offered an excellent view of Kowloon from the 31st floor. (Given the position, it is actually quite difficult to get a view of HK Island from the Four Seasons - head to the Intercontinental in Kowloon if this is your priority).

The rooms are beautifully decorated with no shortage of marble in the bathroom. You get a large flatscreen TV on the wall of your main room and a small telly above your smallish bath if you are worried you might miss something. The opaque glass between the WC and the main bathroom might not be completely practical, but it looked good (when empty).

I stayed as part of a business trip, but my wife and baby had come with me for this particular trip. From this I can tell you that it is a great business hotel (excellent location as part of the IFC complex) but can be a bit impractical with a small baby. For example, there is no way of walking out of the hotel with a buggy without encountering steps or an escalator (although hopefully they will finish the external footbridge to IFC1 soon).

The location as part of IFC makes it a good business or shopping stop, although you are at the edge of the island and so a healthy walk or a convulted taxi ride from a lot of the restaurant and entertainment districts. But the way Hong Kong is laid out means that it is possible via footbridges and malls to do this on foot (without a buggy!). It is also very convenient for the Airport Express - a 10 minute walk through the IFC mall.

We found the service to be very good, very prompt room service etc. If anything they are over-attentive. As you cross the lobby in the morning you receive a business-like good morning from three reception staff, the concierges, two doormen and two or three other random people guarding the lifts and escalators to IFC. Initially it makes you feel like you own the place, but after a few days you find yourself trying to get past when they are not looking!

Other facilities: new outdoor pool looked very nice, with a bar/eatery attached to it and a view over the harbour. The IFC2 skyscraper looms over the pool, albeit a few hundred yards away, so you are overlooked by 60+ storeys of office workers. So not for the very shy. But you don't go to HK for the sun, anyway. Didn't get to try the restaurants but room service was good quality. My sense is that some of the staff are quite new (we were once asked if we wanted a glass of Rioja "on the rocks") but they are all very, very keen.
