They will not let you use the stairs, that one report seems to be the exception, not the rule.
Feel free to write and report back.

So what are the other points options? The W seems to be almost a 40 minute walk away. Is the Intercontinental better for shabbos?

The W has very high floors only.

Sheraton and the IC are the main options.
But no reason not to email Hyatt. Or perhaps even get Hyatt corp involved as it's a very odd policy.

On the HK Island side there are other options.

True. I do have a lot of time until I go. I assume that if I have a letter letting me use the stairs they'd have to oblige. I'd rather not have to open 2 IHG CCs to get enough points for a free night at IC.

Thanks for the tips about the Sheraton though. I assume there's no Shabbos issues there.

I emailed Hyatt TST and they said NO using the stairs.

I'm leaning towards staying at HR TST Thu and Sat nights and the Sheraton Fri night.

Which is better: to land in HKG Wed at 8:00pm and stay though Sun at 4:30pm, or land Thu afternoon at 1:00pm and still leave Sun at 4:30pm? I want to make sure we have enough time in HKG.

Stay for Sunday - you will see the Filipino mobile homes and JCC buffet.

The question wasn't to stay for Sunday or not (we're leaving Sun at about 4:30pm), rather should we arrive Wed night or Thursday afternoon?

Too late. We booked for Wed pm. What's your reasoning though for spending an extra night in PEK as opposed to having a full day in HKG?

I emailed KZ and they said the meals are $150pp in the restaurant. Is that a typical price?
is the other chabad cheaper? i plan on eating a few meals there and this would run me over $1000.

Dan · « **Reply #972 on:** May 28, 2015, 11:11:39 AM »

I think that's just for shabbos. Regular meals aren't that much.

$150pp USD or HKD? Also doesn't KZ have cheaper/free meals not in the restaurant on shabbos?

For all three meals? What about another food option at KZ?

chucksterace · « **Reply #976 on:** May 28, 2015, 11:21:00 AM »

Everyday regular meals are menu prices, so depends on what you order. KZ only has one type of meal setting on Shabbat but it was good food and decent atmosphere. For Shabbat that $150 would sound like its USD

During the week they have a menu and prices are based off the menu, Only Shabbat would be a set price.

ok thanks, if its 150 pp for both meals on shabbs, then although its a stretch, ill be fine paying it. It sounded like it was per meal so 150x3= 300. 300 x 6 days = $1800!

Dan · « **Reply #979 on:** May 28, 2015, 11:25:32 AM »

I think they ask for $150 p/p per meal for shabbos, so $600 total.
