Amidst the airport chaos created by typhoon Vincente, The SkyCity Marriott at Hong Kong International Airport provided a calm refuge from the storm. \u00a0Due to the typhoon<\/a>, some of my flights were cancelled and I new I needed a hotel to hunker down in. \u00a0I used the Marriott App on my iPhone to find a room at the SkyCity Marriott.<\/p>\n

Upon arriving at the hotel, the bellman rush over to the cab with umbrellas to help with baggage and to escort me into the hotel. \u00a0The hotel is modern and welcoming. \u00a0The front desk staff checked me in very quickly and informed that that I had been upgraded to an Executive Level room, had access to the Executive Lounge, and free wifi with my Gold Status. \u00a0Marriott is very generous in Asia-Pacific with member benefits.<\/p>\n

Reception<\/p><\/div>\n

I headed up to my room and within minutes a bellman was there with my bag. \u00a0Service at the hotel was exceptional. \u00a0The room was decorated like my home is decorated so I felt right at home. \u00a0There was a king sized bed that was incredibly comfortable. \u00a0I sunk right into the pillows. It had been such a long and frustrating day that I really appreciated the comfort.<\/p>\n

Bedroom<\/p><\/div>\n

Since there was a typhoon battering Hong Kong (and all public transportation had been suspended) I opted for one of the hotel restaurants. \u00a0Luckily the hotel had several restaurants and bars to choose from. \u00a0I went with the International restaurant that offered both a buffet and a la carte menu. \u00a0I ordered off of the a la carte menu and enjoyed my dinner quite a bit. \u00a0I was actually surprised how good the food was for an airport hotel.<\/p>\n

Stuck inside, with nothing to do, I decided to check out the hotel spa. \u00a0It was a very nice spa with great products, relaxing atmosphere and amazing treatments. \u00a0I partook in a massage that was awesome – but expensive for Asia. \u00a0I spent about $90 for a 60 minute massage. \u00a0I figured it was worth it to relive the stress and tension typhoon Vincente had created.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately (because I really loved the hotel) and\u00a0fortunately in this instance (because I was getting a flight out) I only had one night at the SkyCity Marriott. \u00a0I would absolutely return to the hotel anytime I’m in Hong Kong. \u00a0The staff was great, the location is perfect for an airport hotel and the hotel itself is very clean and comfortable. \u00a0I enjoyed my night at the SkyCity Marriott.<\/p>\n
