Frommer's Review

This is one of Tsim Sha Tsui East's top hotels; in 2007, it also became the first hotel in Hong Kong to install a hybrid hot-water fuel system that drastically cuts carbon dioxide output. It's located right on the waterfront and boasts a lively, high-ceilinged lobby with a cafe perfect for watching the never-ending stream of international guests. I also like the rooftop swimming pool, heated, open year-round, and affording great city views. Rooms are more homey than most, with trim work bordering the ceiling, good bedside lights, plants, lit magnifying mirrors that reveal flaws you never knew you had, and good harbor views through floor-to-ceiling windows in half of the rooms (because of a highway that runs alongside the harbor, be sure to request a room on a high floor). If you can't afford a full harbor view, "side harbor views" are almost as good, due to the hotel's undulating V-shaped facade; unfortunately, the windows of the least expensive rooms open rather unceremoniously onto a windowless wall. Probably the biggest drawback is the 10-minute walk to Tsim Sha Tsui, but it does offer a free shuttle service.

Facilities: 3 restaurants; bar; lounge; outdoor heated pool; exercise room (24 hr.); spa; concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; executive-level rooms; doctor and dentist on call; free shuttle service to several locations in Tsim Sha Tsui every 30-45 min
