Hong Kong...Anyone stayed at a nice hotel?

[Chilli]

We have 3 nights in Hong Kong soon and wondered if anyone had any recommendations for a nice, well placed hotel.

Cheers.

The Conrad - very nice, 5 star i think, complete with white suited doormen...lovely rooms, spacious everything you could want. Underneath the hotel is a shopping mall if you want to get rid of the wife for a couple of hours....

Stayed at the Langham Place in Mongkok back in 2008.

The Club level rooms and lounge were excellent, and the pool on the roof was rather cool.

Also, with it being attached to a shopping mall and metro made it really easy to get around.

Just to add, the Club Lounge, served alcoholic drinks all day, premium brands of beer, spirits and wine, moving to cocktails and champagne (Verve I think) from 6pm.

It was rather relaxing sitting at the window watching the word go by, drink champagne and eating nibbles.

Btw, eat in Felix, and have a drink at the bar, and go to the rest room (the Wagyu steak was the best I have ever had)

Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel.

Practically lived there every weekend for two years, whilst working in Southern China.

Still the holder of the best steak I've ever eaten, which is a shame since they've since turned the American Steakhouse into a Chinese/Italian fusion restaurant.

If memory serves me right they have 3 hotels all within the Harbour City complex. I have stayed at the one at the Harbour end and it is quite decent. Never ate there though (room service breakfast excluded).

stayed here a few years back at the end of a tour of China; absolutely wonderful end to the holiday

We had a suite at the Peninsula earlier this year. Make sure you get harbourside though and have cocktails in the lounge at the top. Fabulous. Oh and you can use one of their fleet of Phantoms too. Great for about 10 minutes only. We prefer stayng on the Kowloon side than the City side, great night markets, the Mandarin Oriental is nice but I don't think it is as nice as the Peninsula.. Also recommend the Sheraton which is right next door to the Peninsula. We had a couple of nights there too. They also have a nice bar overlooking the Harbour. There was a huge amount of construction going on the City side around the harbour area which made it pretty horrid (right by the Mandarin - about 5 lanes of road building) when we were there a few months ago.

I can recommend the Harbour Grand on Kowloon side

www.harbourgrand.com

Great location, excellent roof top pool, restaurants etc plus a shuttle bus service every 30 minutes (10 minute journey time) to The Peninsular which is a 5 minute walk to the Star Ferry terminal which takes you across to HK island.

just come back from HK, stopped over for 2 nights on the way back from 3 weeks in NZ (school rugby tour)stayed at the gold coast hotel on the gold coast, about 25 mins outside the city, very nice rooms, own beach outside free form pool, fantastic buffet breakfast and dinner buffet to die for

shuttle bus costs £2.50 each way to city of you can grab a cab for about £15

would def go back

have fun, and dont pay too much for the "copy" watches

Correct, they are they Gateway (furthest from the Harbour), Prince (middle), and Hongkong (nearest the Harbour next to the Star Ferry Terminal).

We stayed there in an harbourview room about 6 months ago. The views from the room were pretty good and swimming in the pool whilst looking at the views was great.

Only drawback is it's a bit far out we tried walking back along the harbour side to it but failed. It's a shame there's not a more convenient method of transport to get there - the nearby ferry station closes early in the evening.

I live in Harbour City, and all 3 hotels here are very good. The Peninsular is very good if you want to stay this side. I'd actually recommend staying on the Island though, the Mandarin Oriental, Conrad and Four Seasons are all superb.

Cheers all. The Mandarin looks fav ATM.
