The location is absolutely unbeatable. I had an appointment for a skin treatment (gold microneedling) at an office building in K11 next door, and it was easily within walking distance from The Regent. During check-in, the front desk kindly upgraded me from a Kowloon Suite to a Victoria Harbour Grand Room. While the sea view wasn't as expansive as the Shangri-La, it offered a more intimate feel, almost like a picturesque water town. Oh, and no smart toilet – definite downside. When I checked in, I was specifically told I could enjoy the minibar freely and that no deposit was required. Also, since my companion had a birthday the day before, the hotel even sent up a complimentary cake. However, at checkout, the front desk asked if I needed to pay for minibar consumption, which completely stunned me. First, I was told it was complimentary, and second, there were no prices listed anywhere in the minibar. I honestly suspected it was a scam! Luckily, they didn't charge me in the end, otherwise, I would have been furious.
