The Excelsior Hong Kong

Located on the waterfront near a lively shopping area, Hong Kong Island's largest hotel belongs to the Mandarin Oriental group of hotels but is more plebian than its sister properties in Central, with correspondingly lower prices. It enjoys a solid reputation and high occupancy rate, including many tour groups, which translates into an overcrowded lobby buzzing with activity, occasional difficulty getting front-desk service, and crowded elevators. On the plus side are nearby Victoria Park, Hong Kong's largest city park and good for joggers; the top-floor restaurant ToTT's with its spectacular harbor views; and the hotel's free guided tours to the historic Noon Day Gun across the street, which fires daily at, well, noon. Most rooms are the same small size with the same decor and tend to be crowded. Those that command panoramas of the harbor, with window-side sofas, are the most expensive and largest; slightly cheaper are those with side harbor views or views of the park, while the cheapest face inland toward the city.

Facilities:
5 restaurants, including ToTT's and Roof Terrace; bar; lounge; babysitting; concierge; executive-level rooms; exercise rooms; room service; spa
