Hong Kong hotels range from those offering the most affordable and basic accommodations to the finest chains in the world. Your choice will depend primarily on your personal tastes and budget. If it?s your first time traveling to Hong Kong and you do not know where to stay, read on for some tips.
Location does not matter. If you have little to spend and can only afford to stay in hotels that are farther from the main city, don?t be afraid ? you won?t have a hard time. Hong Kong?s transportation system is among the best in Asia, and with a map and a few coins, you can get around very quickly. If you like walking, the Hong Kong is paradise. The streets are very clearly marked and major establishments are scattered all over the area, so you can easily reach them on foot. You can get standard accommodations for about HK 500 dollars ($64 USD) a night. The rates are lower ? sometimes half the original price ? during off-peak months.
Some mid-range hotel rooms offer views of either the bustling harbor, the incredible city lights, or the tall buildings of Hong Kong. Decent hotel rooms with views typically cost about HK 800 dollars (a little more than $100 USD).
Almost all of the world?s finest hotel chains have a branch in Hong Kong, and you can book yourself or your family in a well-appointed suite for about HK 2,600 dollars ($350 USD) a night or more. These suites are designed for people who are used to luxury. Most of the rooms come equipped with full-size business desks, multiple telephone lines, unlimited internet access, a spacious bathroom with Jacuzzi, plasma TV with a DVD surround sound home theatre system, and reinforced hotel safety and security system.
