Swissôtel Beijing Hong Kong Macau Center

Swissôtel Beijing Hong Kong Macau Center

10/10 Excellent
"Staff were good if a bit clinical in general. But a very nice touch - a birthday cake was delivered to our room because they noticed we had a birthday in our group! (Likely due to guest registration details.) Room itself was superb - good fit-out, good condition, and faultless air-con and shower. Gym was the best I've seen in a hotel anywhere in the world! Good range of equipment, well-maintained. Only negative was the swimming pool - it wasn't in the best shape and could do with a freshen up."
