Ramada Hong Kong Harbour View

My stay at Ramada Hong Kong Harbour View was absolutely fantastic—far better than I expected. I checked in on the 22nd and checked out the 23rd, right before Christmas, yet the room rate remained incredibly affordable, which totally exceeded my expectations.

Grand Hyatt Hong Kong

Spent Christmas Eve at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong and it was absolutely magical. The lobby and second-floor atrium were beautifully decorated with tall Christmas trees, creating a festive atmosphere the moment you walk in. The room was clean, well-maintained, and offered a lovely view of the giant Ferris wheel and glimpses of the sea—especially stunning at night when the city lights shimmered across the water. Service was exceptional from start to finish. I arrived earlier than check-in time, and they happily accommodated me with early check-in without any hassle. Staff even helped carry my luggage up to the room and assisted again at checkout by bringing my bags down to the side entrance. It’s rare to find such thoughtful, personalized service in a luxury hotel, and it truly made the stay unforgettable. If you're looking for a memorable holiday experience in Hong Kong, this is the place.

Cordis, Hong Kong

Staying at Cordis, Hong Kong was an absolutely delightful experience. I booked the open-plan king room, which is located at the end of each floor—so while there’s a slight hum from the elevator behind the wall (a faint sound like a plane passing by), it’s barely noticeable after 10 PM when foot traffic drops. The room itself is spacious and offers stunning views of the sea—perfect for morning coffee with a view. Complimentary toiletries and charging adapters were provided, which made things so convenient. The front desk staff were friendly and spoke fluent Chinese, making check-in smooth and welcoming—no distinction between domestic and international guests, which I truly appreciated. Since I had already paid in advance through the platform, no deposit was required at check-in.

From the service to the room quality and location, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend this hotel for both business and leisure travelers.

Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong

This was my first trip to Hong Kong with my husband, and we chose Island Shangri-La after seeing it was the only hotel offering flexible cancellation. We’d heard so much about their exceptional service, so we were excited to try it out. From the moment we arrived, we could tell this was a special stay. The location is unbeatable—right across from Hong Kong Park, which, though small, is beautifully landscaped with labeled plants, fountains, and a delightful aviary where wild birds roam freely.

Just a short walk away in the opposite direction is the Peak Tram entrance—buying the Red Diamond ticket allowed us direct access, saving us hours of waiting.

The Peninsula has this magical way of turning 'liking' into a habit.

Upper House Hong Kong

I’ve stayed at many boutique hotels, but Upper House Hong Kong truly stood out. The ground-floor lobby and front desk are intentionally understated—so much so that I initially thought I’d taken a wrong turn. But once inside, the space unfolds with striking visual impact and thoughtful design that feels both modern and serene. The rooms embrace a minimalist Japanese aesthetic: clean lines, clever layout, and impeccable maintenance—no signs of wear at all. What really impressed me was the little touches in the bathroom: a lip balm and compact mirror tucked into the toiletry kit, which shows an understanding of guests’ needs that even some luxury brands overlook. Staff are warm and attentive, though a few small improvements could elevate the experience further—offering a drink while waiting to check in would be a nice gesture, and unsealing the slippers during turndown service instead of just placing them on the floor would add a more refined touch. Overall, the stay was deeply relaxing and memorable. It’s one of those places where every detail feels intentional. Definitely worth returning to.
