SMOKING
All indoor areas of eateries are now technically smoke-free. Smokers are seeking out
restaurants with unsheltered outdoor spaces where the ban does not apply. In dis-
tricts such as Soho, where restaurants tend to have open fronts, customers often step
outside to get their fix.
Sleeping
Hong Kong offers a full range of accommodation, from closet-sized rooms to palatial suites.
Rooms are relatively expensive by Asian standards, though generally still cheaper than in the
US and Europe.
Most hotels are on Hong Kong Island between Central and Causeway Bay, and on either
side of Nathan Rd in Kowloon, where you'll also find more budget places. During low sea-
sons prices fall sharply, particularly the midrange and top-end options, when you can get dis-
counts of up to 60% if you book online.
