As if I’ve not enough blogs/social sites to update, I thought I’d add another one! This time, it’s a bit more interactive so I hope you enjoy ‘watching’ our adventures.
I started the Mr & Mrs Hsu Youtube channel after our ‘honeymoon’ to Hokkaido as there were moments so sweet and fun we had to share with our beautiful family and friends.
Hope you’re all well xx
The ideal suite to book is of course the beautiful Park Hyatt at The Rocks but alas, at $1,000 a night, I don’t think so! We also like the Westin, but they are smaller by comparison (the Hilton is worse) and the Observatory Hotel is just a tad out of the way. Given I need to house two mothers, three bridesmaids, myself and two make up/hair dressers, photographer and videographer I thought an executive suite at the Sheraton the Park should do the trick. Fortunately, the Sheraton is also conveniently located (suites face Hyde Park) and with 70 sqm and separate lounge/bedroom spaces for their ’suite for a room’ price of $450 a night is, I think, close to perfect. It comes with executive lounge access which I think means we get breakfast too, yippee, though I am not sure I should be eating that much on the day as the tummy may bulge haha.. anyhoo, there is a terrace suite as well for an additional $100 a night. The terrace suites are the same as the exec suite but they do come with two terrace balconies which sound very lovely and romantic.
I also suggest calling instead of booking via the web as they typically ask you why you are booking - “err we’re getting married”. Just like increasing your probability of getting an upgrade when you fly, the same concept works when you book a suite at a hotel and while not guaranteed, you may get some special perks like early check-in, late check-out or an upgrade (now that would be awesome!)

We thought we’d make up for a lack of posts in recent weeks with a double punch this week, and of course to wish you all a very Happy Easter!
The ‘pretty beach house’ was sent to me by one of our staff, little Charmaine. And wow, it is not just a “pretty” beach house, it’s uber luxurious with an equally astounding price tag to boot. Thanks Charmaine, but when are we ever going find the time to go there? Well, mmm.. there is always the HONEYMOON!!! ^^
It’s quite timely because we have been faced with the “where are you guys going for your honeymoon” question quite a fair bit in the past few weeks. So where we hear you ask.. To be honest, we’ve not really thought about it (shock horror… ), actually, that’s not technically true as we have thought that maybe we could honeymoon in Hawaii or for some reason, maybe the Greek islands. Then we thought maybe we can check out Korea after our Taipei reception. Now, we are thinking maybe like a hot spring in Nikko… But all talk, no action! Ok, again that’s not technically true either - we’ve looked into some but nothing has really grabbed us to the point where we think WE MUST, but there are quite a few that are looking interesting, whether it be in Australia or Japan. Yes, we obviously need to do more research and venture beyond our comfort zones!! Any suggestions?
