In-Depth Information
This monolithic hotel offers plush digs with an early-'90s vibe. Comfortable (though not
particularly chic) rooms are matched by a good gym, a swimming pool and excellent ser-
vice. Take a quick ride up the bubble lift that links the 39th and 56th floors; you'll catch a
glance of the hotel's signature 60m-high painting, a mountainous Chinese landscape that's
quite impressive.
BOUTIQUE HOTEL
J PLUS
HK$1500-2800; ; Causeway Bay, exit F)
This stylish boutique hotel occupies a prime location in Causeway Bay within walking dis-
tance of bus, tram and MTR stations. The Philippe Starck-inspired rooms are small but
clean, cool and modern. Some taxi drivers may not know it, so tell them you're going to the
Regal hotel which is right across the street.
HOTEL
PARK LANE HONG KONG
HK$1700-7000; ; Causeway Bay, exit E)
With restful views of Victoria Park to the east and busy Causeway Bay to the west, the Park
Lane is a good choice for those who want to be both in and out of the action. The higher
rooms have much nicer views. Park Lane is favoured by tourists who are here to shop, so
the lobby and the entrance area can get noisy and crowded. There's also a large gym.
HOTEL
METROPARK HOTEL
Causeway Bay;r HK$1100-2800; ; Tin Hau, exit B)
This flashy tower overlooking Victoria Park makes the most of its easterly location, with
70% of its 243 rooms boasting sweeping city-harbour views through floor-to-ceiling win-
dows. Rooms are bright but the basic ones don't have bathtubs. Check the website for dis-
counts and packages.
