Firstly, the staff. Everyone was very polite, knowledgeable and helpful. They made us feel welcome, cared for, and part of a St. Regis ‘family’. Second, the building itself. It has a 90s Hollywood movie glamour feel (Home Alone!). Their Christmas decorations were warm and festive, the Park bar was classy and the bar staff were both excellent, the lobby lounge was welcoming and the afternoon tea is delicious. The bedroom was spacious and had character. Finally, the food (and in particular the breakfast) was very good.

The bed was Ok, but a little soft. A minor issue!

I quite enjoyed the selection at breakfast; there was a good balance between Chinese and Western cuisine. In addition, my room was very comfortable and the bathroom and room service were all exceptional. All the staff were very accommodating and did everything they could to make my stay pleasant. I would stay here again for sure.

I do feel their commitment to privacy was a bit too strict. For example, when I ordered room service they would call me to ensure that they could deliver it because my Do Not Disturb sign was on. I felt this was a bit overboard as I obviously wanted my meal delivered and was waiting for it; there was really no need to call and ask for permission to ring the doorbell for something I was expecting. Otherwise, I have no complaints. The rest of my stay was pleasant.

Attention to detail, care of guests, friendliness and helpfulness of staff, lovely spa, hot spring and sports facilities, a family feel.
