VHHH/HKG - Hong Kong - Marriott Sky City - March 2024

My Hotel was the Marriott Sky City. Aside from being a points slave and having Marriott status I had chosen this hotel because of the reviews on the now dead plane spotting hotels website The first thing I will say is that there is a new building in front of the hotel that has removed any views and therefore everything written about the hotel is no longer valid. The executive lounge has no view, (but still good food and drink) and even numbered rooms no longer offer any views. The good news however is that all is not lost, Odd numbered rooms offer a view of the approach to 25L and the new 25R so nothing will be missed from a high floor room. The hotel has 15 floors and I was on floor 12 but almost any floor would work. Sadly they were on the 07’s during my visit which makes it more complex but not impossible.  In this runway configuration 07R is used for all departures and the aircraft come into view a few seconds after departure flying away from you. If there is low visibility they may well have disappeared into the clouds at this point. After a while (and 2 missed B77F’s ) I discovered that the lift lobby has a distant view of the new runway allowing aircraft to be seen but certainly not read off. On balance  I would choose the Novotel Citygate hotel.
