The Best Mid-Range Hotels
Eaton Hotel, 380 Nathan Rd., Yau Ma Tei (tel. 800/223-5652 in the U.S., or 852/2782 1818): This efficient hotel goes the extra mile, with free daily guided tours of the nearby Temple Street Night Market, a four-story glass-enclosed atrium lobby overlooking a garden terrace, a rooftop pool, and free Internet service in its cafe.
The Luxe Manor, 39 Kimberley Rd., Tsim Sha Tsui (tel. 852/3763 8888): This boutique hotel is like no other, with a whimsical decor that resembles a stage setting for Alice in Wonderland -- but designed by Salvador Dalí. Unusually shaped furniture, faux fireplaces, and other fun touches make a stay here totally out of the ordinary.
Lan Kwai Fong Hotel @ Kau U Fong, 3 Kau U Fong, Central (tel. 852/3650 0000): I love this boutique hotel for several reasons, including its chic Chinese decor and its colorful location in the Western District near Graham Street Market.
Bishop Lei International House, 4 Robinson Rd., Mid-Levels (tel. 852/2868 0828): There's nothing fancy about this hotel, but I love its location near the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator in a residential neighborhood, its outstanding views from otherwise standard rooms, its coffee shop with an outdoor terrace, and its outdoor pool. A great choice for expat wannabes.
Jia, 1-5 Irving St., Causeway Bay (tel. 852/3196 9000): Designed by Philippe Starck, this boutique hotel is Hong Kong's hippest, with 54 stylish rooms complete with kitchenettes and entertainment centers. Guests also enjoy a host of freebies, including free local calls, free Internet access, free breakfast and cocktail hour, free access to a nearby gym, and -- for long-staying guests -- a free massage.
Lanson Place Boutique Hotel & Residences, 133 Leighton Rd., Causeway Bay (tel. 852/3477 6888): This Jia competitor offers much of the same at slightly lower prices, including upbeat, contemporary rooms with kitchenettes (and a welcoming basket of goodies), large LCD TVs, and DVD players (there's a free DVD library). Breakfast and Wi-Fi are also free.
