Hotel owner Swire Group, which also owns hometown Cathay Pacific Airlines, is known for its efforts to maintain high standards, but the staff can occasionally turn up their noses if guests have too many special requests.

Because of a highway that runs alongside the harbor, request a room on a high floor.
