You cannot go wrong, either way. Having just stayed at the Pen in Hong Kong, I can tell you it was fabulous (as was the Regent Beijing). I had requested early check-in, and when they couldn't accomodate us early, they upgraded us to a deluxe Harbor view suite which had to be 1800-2000 sq. feet with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the harbor-even a telescope! We paid for a limo to the airport when we left and thay even had somone at the airport to drag our luggage to the airline check-out counter. I think they were apalled when they found out we were actually flying coach! You will have a great time either way.
