Features
What to expect: Splendidly attired Sikh doorstaff welcome guests with a warm smile and firm handshake. Suits, shorts, and airline uniforms set the scene in the small lobby, as international business travelers and leisure travelers mingle with flight crews who make the hotel their base. Gigantic metallic plant holders and swirling, modernistic artworks are set off by more traditional objets d’art that reflect the hotel’s long Hong Kong heritage. Many staff members have been with the hotel for decades.
Amenity highlights: The very English Dickens Bar is a long-time favorite among locals and visitors, as is afternoon tea in the Café and Lounge On The 1st. Fine dim sum is served at the hugely popular Yee Tung Heen; advance booking is recommended. The 24-hour room service includes signature dishes from all five restaurants and bars.
Insider tip: Early risers can join the tai-chi practitioners in Victoria Park around the corner as they go through their graceful exercises.

| Wonderful view of harbour, if you get the deluxe harbour view rooms,on site restaurants a little bit expensive but local eateries are nearby, so there is no problem if you want cheaper meals. Staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay there.

| Clean and very well located, I checked in late in the early evening but they said my room was not ready and would I wait 45 minutes and have a drink in the bar. I voiced my annoyance, and surprise they found a room for me. That was the only problem I had.
