KaoriFan Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 hi everyone, need some advice on some decent hotels to stay in, in Hong Kong. i will be going their in 3 weeks for about 5 weeks (including some time in southern China) and would be helpful to know anyone's choices, views, or knowledge, or personal experiences. I don't mind where the hotel is situated, whether it is HK Island or Kowloon, but i would prefer something, in the moderate to expensive range, maybe the luxury end of the market as i know you can get savings of 30 - 50%. Thanks in Advance, cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Try the Harbour plaza, North Point. Got upgraded to the Penthouse and it was £77 a night.... can't really say no to that. Even for an executive suite it's £105/night standard price. It's 15 mins walk from the main shopping centre or about 2 mins from the MTR http://www.harbour-plaza.com/en/home.aspx?hotel_id=hpnp§ion_id=home&subsection_id=overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 These are some of the five star hotels I'd consider. HK Island Grand Hyatt Conrad International Marriott Mandarin Oriental Four Seasons Kowloon Peninsula Hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loks Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 The hotels that Nic has mentioned are generally the best but they will not come cheap. 5 weeks of not cheap will be a lot of money, I hope this is a business trip and you can claim the cost back As for Southern China, I only really know the Shenzhen/Guangzhou/Zhuhai areas. Here are some recommendations for you: Shenzhen: In town: Shangri-la, Crowne Plaza, Four Points Sheraton Out of Town: Mission Hills Golf Resort Hotel (12 golf courses = 216 holes!), Parkview (Chang-An, Dongguan), Grand Noble (Humen, Dongguan) Guangzhou: Garden Hotel, Guangzhou Oriental Resort, Chimelong Hotel Zhuhai: Venetian, Wynns, Westin Resort Mind you if you are on a short trip to HK and looking for some mickey mouse place to stay near the airport you could always try this place http://park.hongkongdisneyland.com/hkdl/en_US/hotels/overview?name=HotelsOverviewPage Hope you find what you want and if you need any more advise on any other things in HK, just let myself or Nic know.

Depending on how things go, would like to be living in HK, maybe next year, or year after, definitely will have a place in Nanning. i may stop over in Shenzhen for one night too. not sure though. cheers once again, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
