Review of Pacific PlacePacific Place was the largest and most ambitious commercial project to hit Central when it opened more than 20 years ago; in fact, it shifted the city center toward the east. With the opening of Hong Kong Station and the ifc mall to the west, however, Pacific Place is no longer the center of attention. In fact, I find it rather dull, no different from the generic malls you encounter all over the world and certainly less compelling than Hong Kong's swankier, newer malls. If you're staying in one of Pacific Place's four hotels, however, you'll definitely want to take a spin through here, with approximately 200 shops selling every well-known brand and two major department stores (Lane Crawford and Seibu). Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
