Handily situated for shopping areas. Built in 1990 and located in a Pacific Place tower with magnificent views. Its big and glitzy ambience, shared with the island shangri-La, may not be to all tastes. Spacious, well-designed rooms, a range of excellent restaurants and numerous facilities, including one of the city's best fitness centres. More outlying than most hotels, but reasonable proximity to an MTR station provides easy access to the rest of Hong Kong Island.
Rooms are good, and some have harbour views.
At the lower end of its price bracket. Relaxed atmosphere but some way away from Central, though well located for Causeway Bay's shops and Wan Chai nightlife. Central's only true budget option. Book well in advance to secure one of the clean, neat rooms in this YWCA-run hotel on the slopes overlooking the botanical gardens and city below. Guests have access to a pool and fitness facilities.
