Hotel Review: The Silveri Hong Kong - MGallery (Superior Room with Executive Lounge Access)

I redeemed a flight from Singapore to Bangkok with a 22-hour layover in Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific, thinking it would be a good idea. Granted, I made this redemption booking using my Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles one evening while drinking at the lounge (note: alcohol does not help you make the best decisions), but I decided to keep it since it only cost me 12,500 AS miles before the devaluation in March 2024. Given the short stop in Hong Kong, I wanted to stay somewhere near the airport and was deciding between the Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott Hotel and The Silveri Hong Kong - MGallery. I eventually chose the latter as I haven't been utilising my ALL Platinum status much, and the property looked a lot nicer in photos.

Hotel Lobby
The Silveri Hong Kong - MGallery

The Silveri Hong Kong, located in Tung Chung, is the city's first MGallery property and is approximately 10 minutes away by car. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle bus service that operates daily, departing from Car Park 1 (Bay 11-14) of Terminal 1 at Hong Kong International Airport every hour (with different schedules for weekdays and weekends). Initially, I planned to take this shuttle, but due to tight timing with the late arrival of my check-in luggage, I opted for an Uber from the Regal Airport Hotel Hong Kong instead. The Silveri Hong Kong is directly connected to Citygate Outlets, making it a convenient choice for those who prefer not to venture far. While it might not offer the full Hong Kong experience like The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, it is certainly a better option than staying at a typical airport hotel.

Entrance
Superior Room - The Silveri Hong Kong

As an Accor Live Limitless (ALL) Platinum member, I was upgraded to a Superior Room with Sea View at The Silveri Hong Kong. Additionally, I received complimentary access to the Executive Lounge, allowing me to enjoy evening cocktails and canapes, as well as light refreshments throughout the day. Unlike other hotel loyalty programs like Marriott Bonvoy and World of Hyatt, ALL Platinum members typically receive only a one-category upgrade at check-in, if available. While your mileage may vary at different properties, the ALL program tends to be less generous with room upgrades compared to its competitors.

Opened in June 2022, The Silveri Hong Kong boasts 206 beautifully-appointed rooms and suites, inspired by the "timeless, cross-cultural links between silver and the moon," as described by the interior designers, LWK + PARTNERS. The Superior Rooms at The Silveri Hong Kong offer similar amenities and space as the lead-in Classic Room category, but feature views of the ocean. Unfortunately, it was raining throughout my stay in Hong Kong, so the view was quite disappointing, but I can imagine it being beautiful on a clear day.

Superior Room - The Silveri Hong Kong

Honestly, I wasn't sure if I received a room upgrade when I checked in, as it wasn't mentioned during the process. Additionally, the ALL app doesn't display the upgraded room type, unlike competing hotel apps. The room assigned for my stay was on one of the higher floors and faced the Hong Kong International Airport, with partial ocean views. This left me uncertain about the upgrade. However, after examining the hotel's layout, I'm fairly certain that I stayed in a Superior Room rather than the lead-in Classic Room category.

Bedroom
Superior Room - The Silveri Hong Kong

Offering 26 sqm of space, the Superior Rooms at The Silveri Hong Kong are beautiful and resemble those at the AKI Hong Kong, another MGallery property. Given Hong Kong's notorious scarcity of land and high land prices, having 26 sqm of space is quite a luxury, even though the hotel's location isn't as desirable as, say, Kowloon or Central. The room's design maximizes the sense of space—the bathroom is cleverly positioned to maximize room space while ensuring privacy for those sharing the room.

Bed
Superior Room - The Silveri Hong Kong

The Superior Rooms at The Silveri Hong Kong feature a Queen-size bed with excellent bedding, ensuring a comfortable sleep experience. If you are looking for a King-size bed, you might have to book an Executive or higher category room. Despite its proximity to Hong Kong International Airport, the room's soundproofing and motorized blackout curtains effectively block out noise and light, creating a peaceful atmosphere conducive to rest. As a light sleeper, I found the property, including the Executive Lounge, to be remarkably quiet. The spacious bedside table, large enough for a laptop and other devices, is a practical touch that prevents items from being forgotten.

Bedside Controls
Superior Room - The Silveri Hong Kong

While universal power outlets are limited to the work desk area, each side of the bed is equipped with two USB ports, ideal for overnight charging of mobile devices. Additionally, the Master switch conveniently controls all room lighting, ensuring a complete blackout for restful sleep.

TV and Minibar
Superior Room - The Silveri Hong Kong

In each guest room at The Silveri Hong Kong, you'll find a 55-inch 4K TV offering a wide array of cable and satellite channels, along with the convenience of ordering in-room dining directly from the TV. Below the TV, a long but narrow table doubles as a workdesk, complete with separate light controls and a universal power outlet nearby for added convenience. However, if you do have access to the Executive Lounge, I can assure you that that is going to be a much more condusive place to work from.

Every guest room at The Silveri Hong Kong also comes with a basic Nespresso coffee machine as well as JING tea bags - these are highly-appreciated especially for international travellers who are either jetlagged, or in need of extra caffeine with no justifications needed. I am not sure whether evening turndown is provided at the hotel since I got in pretty late at approximately 6:20 PM and I wanted to head up to the Executive Lounge to check out the evening spread.

Welcome Amenities
Superior Room - The Silveri Hong Kong

My ALL Platinum status brought some delightful welcome amenities, including a bottle of still water, some sweet treats, and a bottle of Strawberry Nectar from Alain Milliat—a sweet touch, though perhaps too sugary for my taste preferences. I think somebars use this an an ingredient for cocktails so I am not sure whether I was supposed to drink it straight from the bottle (or dilute it?).

Bathroom
Superior Room - The Silveri Hong Kong

The bathroom of the Superior Room features a spacious rainshower area, though you won't find any bathtubs here. Given that room sizes in Hong Kong are typically quite small, 26 sqm of space is truly a luxury.

Bath Amenities
Superior Room - The Silveri Hong Kong

Bath amenities at The Silveri Hong Kong are provided by MALIN+GOETZ which is founded in New York and they can be found in bulk-size bottles that are mounted to the wall. I particularly like the rum scented body wash and this is the same one that I utilised at the Capri by Fraser Changi City which I stay on an annual basis since I get two nights free each year with my American Express Platinum Reserve Credit Card.

Toilet
Superior Room - The Silveri Hong Kong

Located next to the shower area and the entrance of the bedroom is a private toilet equipped with an elaborate bidet function and a heated toilet seat. Despite the room's relatively small size, having the toilet separate from the rest of the bathroom means two people can share the space effectively in the morning without having to jostle for space.

Executive Lounge
The Silveri Hong Kong

The Executive Lounge of The Silveri Hong Kong is located on Level 15 and operates daily from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. In-house guests can gain access by booking an Executive Room or Suite. If you have Accor Live Limitless (ALL) Platinum or Diamond status, you will enjoy complimentary access when staying on an eligible rate as part of your elite benefits. Sunset aperitif, essentially evening cocktails, is served from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM each day. Additional guests can be entertained at the lounge for a nominal fee of HKD 258+ per adult and HKD 129+ per child under the age of 12.

The Executive Lounge at The Silveri Hong Kong offers a generous selection of spirits, beers, and wines (including sparkling) during the Sunset Aperitif. While Champagne wasn't available, a decent bottle of prosecco from Fantinel was offered. Despite my evening arrival limiting my lounge time to about an hour, it was a solid experience, especially considering I paid only around S$200 for the room, and access to the Executive Lounge was due to my ALL Platinum status. The lounge is staffed but maintains a relaxed atmosphere, allowing guests to help themselves to the buffet with minimal staff interaction, which I personally prefer.

The Executive Lounge at The Silveri Hong Kong offers a good mix of hot and cold dishes, including pan-fried gyozas, chicken karaages, and spring rolls. While the food isn't gourmet, it suffices for those arriving late and wanting a small bite before heading out or to bed. If you're looking for something more substantial, the hotel's direct connection to Citygate Outlets provides a variety of dining options, including popular brands like Chun Shui Tang, Ippudo, and Tsujihan.

Night View
Superior Room - The Silveri Hong Kong

As the name implies, Citygate Outlets is home to numerous great outlet stores, making it a good spot to do some shopping before your flight out of Hong Kong. If you're interested in buying lululemon, the outlet store in the mall was offering 50% off all products—though do note that most items are either off-season or discontinued. After shopping for clothes and snacks at the supermarket, I returned to the hotel in the evening. Falling asleep in the comfortable bed was easy, especially since the blackout curtains do a fantastic job of keeping the light out.

Fitness by MGallery
The Silveri Hong Kong

The Silveri Hong Kong boasts a beautiful gym, offering plenty of natural light during the day. Fitness by MGallery is located on the same floor as the lobby, and despite its compact size, it features the latest-generation cardio and strength-training equipment. I woke up early for a workout since I was working remotely that day and catching an evening flight to Bangkok. The gym was empty, allowing me to enjoy a private workout session. The swimming pool, also on the same level, looked inviting, but I decided against a swim due to the gloomy weather.

As far as free weights go, you'll find a decent selection of dumbbells, with the heaviest pair weighing 20 kg. While there is no Smith machine or squat rack, you can replicate some of those workouts by stacking dumbbells. It's obviously not on par with a commercial gym, but being able to get a proper workout before continuing your day is good enough when you're on the road.

Breakfast
The Enclave - The Silveri Hong Kong

For in-house guests with access to the Executive Lounge, breakfast is served at The Enclave, as it is not currently offered in the lounge. After finishing my workout around 7:15 AM, I found the restaurant still fairly quiet, but the staff seemed somewhat unprepared. Although breakfast starts at 7:00 AM and ends at 10:30 AM on weekdays (11:00 AM on weekends), no one was at the entrance when I arrived. The staff were chatting among themselves, so I decided to seat myself. When I ordered a double espresso, one of the staff appeared to have trouble processing the request and had to consult with what seemed to be a senior staff member just to enter my order into the POS system. This was puzzling, especially since the coffee was complimentary as it was part of the full buffet breakfast experience. There were no self-service coffee machines available, and honestly, I would have preferred to make my own cup of coffee if that had been an option.

The buffet spread at The Enclave wasn't overly extensive, but it did offer a good mix of local, Asian, and Western dishes. I particularly enjoyed the fresh pastries, fruits, and the international selection. There was also a live station making Egg Bubble Waffles, a popular sweet treat in Hong Kong, although I didn't try it on this trip. Interestingly, there was a laminated card on the dining table that mentioned an à la carte breakfast menu, but it wasn't offered to me during my visit. Perhaps the à la carte options are not complimentary and come with an additional charge?

Obviously, I wouldn't consider staying at The Silveri Hong Kong if I were visiting Hong Kong for leisure as an international tourist. However, if I have a long layover at HKIA or want to take advantage of the excellent airport lounges, I might consider staying at this hotel again in the near future. Located in Tung Chung, it's fairly close to the airport, but not a place I would recommend for those visiting Hong Kong for food and sightseeing. That said, I really enjoyed my stay at The Silveri Hong Kong. I found it to offer good value and a rather solid experience. Its location makes it a plausible option for locals looking for a staycation or for those wanting to stay near the airport for any reason.
