Hong Kong

Hi all

Planning to go to HK with the other half in May. Can anyone who's been recommend a hotel or an area in which to stay and some recommendations on what to see whilst there.

There seems to be a lot of hotels at the same sort of price point. Not looking for top, top hotels or the really pricey one's. Budget is around £1000 each max for travel and hotel and there seems to be plenty of choice for that money, just a question of where.

Thank you to anyone in advance.

Can't comment on hotels in that price range, but you may be able to get a deal at the Intercontinental in Kowloon.

Couple of things to do...

- Check out the bar at the Intercontinental (great view at night of Kowloon Bay)
- Use the ferry to get across to Hong Kong Island
- Try lunch at the Penninsula Hotel (the more casual Veranda restaurant it very reasonable)
- Have a cocktail in the bar at the top of the Ritz Cartlton (highest bar in the world)
- Check out the view from Victoria Peak

Luxe Manor is a favourite of mine, interesting decor and a superb breakfast (can be hard to find out East).

Superb hotel, but £2000 won't go far if you stay here!

To be fair, public transport in HK is so quick and cheap, you don't need to ensure your hotel is right in Central. That said, the Ritz Carlton and the W (next door neighbours) do often give reasonable rates. A little cheaper, and the Hotel LKF in LAN Kwai Fong is decent, and situated in one of the main HK night stops.

If you want ideas for things to do, I have a list the length of a pylon, and would be happy to share.

I hope you have a brilliant time. It really is a terrific city.

Thanks. Ideas would be great. I take it that public transport runs into the night?
