I am stopping in HK for two days next week and after reading this thread I am really confused (might be time for someone who was there to write a wiki).

I would like to stay at at a Hyatt, which Hyatt should I stay at the Grand Hyatt in Hong Kong, or the one in Kalwoon.

Where are the kosher restaurants closer to Kalwoon or HKI?

Thanks.

There are restaurants in both.

Which restaurants are where?

Any info about the Hyatts.

Which is easier to get from the airport Kalwoon or HKI?

AJK · « **Reply #323 on:** July 25, 2013, 11:18:58 AM »

JCC on HKI and mul hayam in kowloon.

You can get to both HKI and kowloon in the airport train.

According the the people at Cathay, flying Business allows only the person sitting in Business to use the lounge.

I have found that Cathay Pacific is very unaccommodating when it comes to these kind of things. It feels like they are actively being adversarial. If it wasn't for the fact that I prefer OneWorld, I would definitely not recommend them (at least, based on my experiences thus far).

Any other suggestions? Thanks for the response though...

Be Well!

Any Luck?

A late reply to your question, unfortunately, the answer was no, I couldn't get her in (although that won't be a problem in the future as she is now Platinum).

The consolation prize, when we finally went to board the plane, was finding out that she was upgraded to business! (I just wish they bothered telling us that while we could still make use of the lounge)

Thanks for the help anyway!

She was upgraded with gold status? AA gold?

Yup... AA Gold. Her ticket said "PNN" on it... Any idea what that stands for?

We were pretty surprised about the upgrade, but were in no way going to complain about it!

Be Well!

Wow! Nice upgrade for a AA gold. Ya, not sure what PNN stands for. Although better than sitting outside you haven't missed much by not entering the CX Biz lounge.

So I can be batting totally wrong here but are any of these Hotels in a good location with regards to Shuls or Restaurants?

Le Méridien Cyberport
Conrad Hong Kong
Grand Hyatt Hong Kong

TIA

The Conrad and the GH are not really close to any Shuls, although they are close to Shalom Grill (3 min Taxi, half hour walk (not suggested!)) and close to the JCC (10 min taxi).

How about the Le Meridien?

Any SPG or Hyatt near the shuls?

Hyatt Regency; W HKG

Coming from someone that recently stayed at the Conrad in HK I can tell you that it's a beautiful and very centered hotel. It's 10 minutes from the JCC, not far from Chabad, a 15 minute from the tram, in the heart of HK island and a few minute train ride to Kowloon (The train is underneath the hotel).

1 mile from Chabad of HKI, but that could be a nice climb. Anyone know?
Looks like it might be much shorter cutting through HKG Park.

What can I expect when requesting Kosher Breakfast as a Diamond Member at the Hyatt Regency HK?
