Hotels are situated on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, in the New Territories and on the outlying islands. You can stay among the big city lights, in the verdant countryside or by the beach - the choice is yours. No matter where you stay, all of Hong Kong's attractions are close at hand. The excellent public transport system means you are only a short journey away from the bustle of the city or the tranquillity of the outlying islands.
Many of Hong Kong's luxury hotels are among the best in the world. All the major international chains are represented, along with a dazzling array of local and regional hotels. What's more, there are a multitude of hostels and guesthouses to satisfy the budget-conscious traveller
Keen competition and the laws of supply and demand have ensured that Hong Kong's hotels maintain the highest standards. They also regularly introduce new facilities and invest in ambitious renovation programmes. This means there is no need for an official star rating system.
An additional 3 per cent government tax and a 10 per cent service charge are charged except where stated otherwise. With a wide selection of locations, facilities, rates and styles, Hong Kong's hotels offer you unprecedented choice.
The hotels listed offer modern design and facilities, as well as full air-conditioning. Most provide 24-hour room service. There are telephones and power points in all bedrooms, and every bathroom has a universal-type power outlet for electric shavers.
Other facilities available in many hotels include: refrigerator; minibar; colour TV; multi-channel bedside radio; same-day laundry, dry cleaning and valet services; IDD or hotel operator-assisted international telephone calls; secretarial services; fax, Internet and cable facilities; local and overseas postage (letters and parcels); safe deposit boxes; travel arrangements (including onward bookings confirmation and ticketing); tours counter; and hotel transportation and car hire.
Reaching your hotel couldn't be easier. Visitors with hotel transportation reservations can meet hotel representatives at hotel pick-up counters in the Meeters and Greeters Hall at Hong Kong International Airport.
The efficient Airbus service provides modern, convenient and inexpensive transport to the most popular districts. Please contact our Hong Kong Tourism Board Visitor Information & Services Centres for details. Airbus tickets are available at the commercial service counter in the meeters and greeters area of the Arrival Hall if you need assistance or have incorrect change. On-board announcements help you locate your choice of hotel or destination.
Taxis to almost anywhere in Hong Kong are readily available. The taxi staging area can accommodate 530 vehicles. Red taxis serve Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, green taxis serve the New Territories and blue taxis serve Lantau Island. Details of all charges are listed on the inside of the backdoor on yellow tariff stickers. Rounding off to the nearest dollar is a customary practice.
The facilities available at guesthouses are comparatively more limited than at hotels. Those available at the YMCA and YWCA hostels are, on the other hand, quite comprehensive.
Visitors arriving at the Hong Kong International Airport can receive assistance at the Hotel Reservation Centres inside the Buffer Hall located after the Customs Area. The desk is open daily from 6:00am to 1:00am. For those arriving without a hotel booking, the Centres can arrange accommodation, at no extra charge, at any hotel that is a member of the Hong Kong Hotels Association (HKHA) on Hong Kong Island, in Kowloon or the New Territories. Transportation can also be arranged to HKHA hotels as well.
