Ibis Hong Kong Central & Sheung Wan has a great location

The new Ibis has easy access to all the iconic things to see and do on Hong Kong Island and beyond. The vibrant colors of the 550 rooms may be classified as simplistic but the large bay windows, high ceilings, and timbered floor create a comfortable combination. Guests can opt for a standard room with a bay view or a larger studio room. Several rooms are designed to meet the needs of the handicap traveler. Gratisinternet is a wonderful bonus.

Their TASTE restaurant offers all day dining with a breakfast buffet from 4 to 11 a.m. – how reasonable and thoughtful is that? TASTE’s menu features Hong Kong flavors along with Western favorites. The LE BAR is open 24/7 with bar service from 12 noon to 11 p.m. From 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. they offer muffins, sandwiches, and other items on a self-service basis. A microwave is available.

The Ibis is close to shopping and dining. The combination train from the airport and free hotel shuttle means getting to the hotel is a no-brainer. The affordable, historic Tram stop is located right outside the door, the MRT station is a short walk, and so it the Macau Ferry Terminal. The friendly staff is multi-lingual and quick to be of service. The Ibis is part of the Accor family of hotels. For more information log on to Ibishotel.com or Accorhotels.com

Lovin’ the Conrad in Hong Kong

Stay at any Conrad Hotel and you will be singing the line from the musical “Bye Bye Birdie,” “We love you Conrad. Oh, yes we do.” This is true at the Conrad in Hong Kong. The service is excellent and the accommodations posh. The restaurants are divine.

hour the selection of treats is amazing and delightful. The daytime view from the 57th floor Executive Lounge is amazing but at night with the city lights it is magical. The hotel starts at the 40th floor of Pacific Place which is home to a multitude of high-end retail outlets.  

Enroll as a Hilton Honors member and receive extra benefits including a complimentary cocktail in their beautiful lobby lounge.  The view from the lounge makes one think they are in the country side with all the greenery. Take a walk around the outside and check out the statues and plantings. Lovely.
