Frommer's Review

A small hotel with a lot of architectural surprises, the Royal Garden has always been one of my favorites. It features a cool, sleek lobby and a 15-story inner atrium, a concept adapted from the traditional Chinese inner garden (and employed here long before it became standard of some U.S. chains). Plants hang down from balconies ringing the soaring space, glass-enclosed elevators glide up the wall, a piano sits on an island in the middle of a pool, and the sound of rushing water adds freshness and coolness to the atmosphere. A wonderful 25m-long (82-ft.) rooftop swimming pool is uncovered in summer, covered and heated in winter. Off the lobby is a very interesting martini bar, and its Italian restaurant, Sabatini, is one of Hong Kong's best. All in all, it's the kind of hotel that invites exploration. The rooms, the most expensive of which have partial harbor views between two buildings ("partial harbor view" means either that other buildings are obstructing part of your view or that your windows do not squarely face the water), are smartly decorated with a mix of colonial-style and modern furniture and feature mounted plasma TVs and a chilled, purified water tap in the bathroom. The least expensive rooms face the Regal Kowloon Hotel. Although a slight hike to the action of Tsim Sha Tsui, it's only a few minutes' walk to the hover-ferry pier with service to Central and the KCR railway station.

Facilities: 6 restaurants (Italian, Cantonese, Pekingese, Japanese, Continental, international buffet); bar; lounge; heated rooftop outdoor/indoor pool and Jacuzzi; lighted outdoor tennis court; exercise room; spa; sauna; concierge; limousine service; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.
