This was my 3rd time doing quarantine in Hong Kong, and while most of the world had already moved on, in August 2022 Hong Kong still insisted on 3 nights in quarantine for all arrivals.
-Date of stay: August 22-25, 2022
– Room booked: Standard room with City Views
– Room given: One=bedroom suite with ocean / airport view, rooms 1621 and 1623.
