  Koreans fill up half of the SGS these days (Korea Town is next door, too). That's why there's a dedicated Korean station now. If you go to the front desk you'll find half of them working are also Korean for the same reason.

  Go to the Peninsular. Rosewood isn’t the best in Hong Kong, not even close.

• 
  @jrlthetourist12 күн бұрын

  I've never stayed at The Peninsula, but I did visit with a friend who was staying there. It was a nice room, but the hotel is almost 100 years old and was last renovated ten years ago. It would be hard to compete with Rosewood, opened in 2019, on hard product. That said, The Peninsula is an amazing property and has the heritage. From the consumer prospective, it ultimately comes down to preference.

  I can see a case for preferring the JW to the Sheraton Grande, but I don't believe it doesn't come close. They're very comparable properties and much will come down to personal preference.

  @@warrenx82 I stay at SGS and JW all the time and hard disagree. Yes we know that Sheraton is a tier lower than JW on the brand guide, but that really doesn't apply to the SGS. It is a very known outlier in the Marriott community. Sheraton is more central, it's literally connected to the Asok BTS station. The service is great. The rooms are a little dated. And honestly the bar (which you just barely catch a glimpse of at the end of this video) - Barsu - is one of the nicest bars with live music and awesome staff on Sukhumvit. You'd have to go the whole way to Thong Lor to find something comparable. JW is also nice, but it's different. It's more business oriented. It's filled with a lot more westerners. It's also literally across the street from Nana Plaza which may or may not be your bag. But it's not as central, the bar isn't as nice. JW pros: the rooms are nicer (especially the suites) and the breakfast beats the hell out of SGS breakfast. If you care about the breakfast, you want JW or Marquis, not SGS. But "doesn't even come close to JW" is just not true.

  Nice video. Conrad Bali is actually located in Tanjung Benoa (a town immediately north of Nusa Dua). But since Nusa Dua is a symbol of prestige and it happens to be close by, why not call it Conrad Nusa Dua. Tourists won't know. Conrad beachfront resort does not belong in Tanjung Benoa. It should be in prime Nusa Dua (ITDC) or Uluwatu or Seminyak. That said, Conrad is actually an excellent resort, IMO. The only drawback is, well, the location.

• 
  @jrlthetourist27 күн бұрын

  I agree. The location is not ideal. Would be better on one of the nicer stretches of beach down in Nusa Dua proper. That said, I did enjoy my time on the property, especially for the room rate.
