The Best Hotels in Hong Kong

"For an alternative harbour view The clue is in the name: East is located seven MTR stops from Central—or a meander on the tram—on the eastern end of Hong Kong Island. Guests here tend to be business types but the hotel (a sibling of the Upper House) has plenty to offer vacationers too, including an outdoor swimming pool, a tip-top restaurant, a louche rooftop bar, and whip-smart rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows which look out across Victoria Harbour towards the old Kai Tak Airport runway. The surrounding neighborhoods, too, are ripe for exploration, from photographing the colorful 1960s Yik Cheong Monster Building housing estate to hiking up Mount Parker for dizzying views of the city, to working your way along Electric Road chowing down on some of the best street food in the city." - Lee Cobaj
