I can't speak to the legalities of this in HK.
(and suite...for future reference the board prefers if we don't use real hotel names in reviews and such but this might be acceptable as it is not linked to any direct current activity...and Froddo didn't say anything) ...
The hotels bros should NOT name are the HG bookings where you go to the WGs/agent's hotel. Notwithstanding that, sure don't name the hotel in your REPORT (of no interest anyway), but this thread is about taking WG's back to ANY hotel in HK where YOU are staying.
It is perfectly legal to take a girl/WG back to your own hotel room. I believe there are only one or two hotels in HK that won't allow it and they do this to maintain high standards of decorum for the other guests (and I wouldn't give them my business). Honestly, the hotel and staff couldn't care less, and yes most will know what you are doing but walk tall bros, it's legal, you are the customer, if you are embarrassed it's your problem. I have taken WGs to dinner many times in the hotels where I stay, and I can tell the staff know the situation but have never encountered an issue, it's none of their business!
Worst case is some hotels may want to charge a little more for dual occupancy, and it would look cheap and potentially embarrassing to try and avoid paying the surcharge.
Most times I see no difference between cost of single or dual occupancy. I have one complaint with the Rio in Macau where they often put "dual" on my booking when I specifically say "single" .... perhaps it's them trying to do me a favour and say having girl in my room no problem but I really don't like that wording on my bill in case my SO sees it.
