Frommer's Review
The 61-story Conrad, built in 1990, is one of a trio of exclusive hotels perched on a hillside above Pacific Place, an upscale shopping center located about halfway between the Central District and Wan Chai. One of the conveniences of staying here is that Pacific Place abounds in very good restaurants, greatly expanding dining options without having to venture far. Hong Kong Park is also just steps away, and the MTR can be reached without venturing outside. The Conrad's facilities appeal to both businesspeople (who make up 70% of the hotel's clientele, the majority of whom are American or European) and well-heeled leisure travelers. Although the architecture is contemporary, the hotel's classic furnishings and Asian touches throughout soften the modern effect, giving it a cozy atmosphere with wood paneling, polished granite, and comfortable furniture. Large-size rooms, which start from the 40th floor, boast windows that extend the width of the room, offering views of either The Peak or the harbor (harbor-view rooms, of course, are better and cost more, though some so-called "city view" rooms offer a partial harbor view through buildings). Bathed in tones of gold and brown, with Chinese vases and Chinese armoires concealing TVs, rooms have spacious bathrooms with separate shower and bathtub facilities and two sinks. On a playful note, the bathrooms even feature a floating duck or other toy for a bit of fun in the bathroom, while a stuffed bear is placed on beds at turndown. In short, this is a great choice for business or pleasure.
