Hong Kong is one of our favourite cities in the world and its close proximity to Singapore makes it the ideal place for a short getaway or even a long holiday. There is always so much to do there—whether it is indulging in endless dim sum and refreshing milk tea at their cha chaan teng or visiting the many tourist attractions.

For those who are thinking of going on a budget trip to Hong Kong, one cost factor to consider is definitely the accommodation prices. However, if you are not too picky, there are many decent rooms and apartments available on the Airbnb website for under S$200 per night!

Hong Kong’s accommodation is notorious for its exorbitant prices. Most globally recognised hotel brands located in the heart of this cosmopolitan city charge a hefty amount for a one-night stay, and let’s face it – not everyone is willing or able to spend that excessive amount of money on comfortable lodging.

The saving grace is that Hong Kong is pretty big and there is no lack of accommodation choices actually. But if you look further beyond the Central Business District area and search for lesser known (but still clean and comfy) hotels, you might be surprised by the options.

Hong Kong is prized for its city skyline, and we are always on the lookout for hotels with unobstructed views of the Harbour – Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel has just been added to our list because we had a very memorable stay there recently.

Sitting in the heart of Wan Chai district – one of our favourite places to stay at when in Hong Kong - Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel is a part of the Marriott group, with a strategic waterfront location that overlooks the Harbour on the Kowloon side. Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel may not be the most posh hotel in Hong Kong, but it is no less popular among business travellers and tourists.

The convention centre is just beside the property, so if you ever need to look for an accommodation when attending a trade show or event at Hong Kong, Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel has categories of rooms and suites to offer.

Wan Chai is a gem of an area to stay at because lots of local treasures are hidden in the streets and alleys.

Back to the hotel, Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel has a distinct view of the Harbour together with the iconic spaceship-lookalike convention centre if you choose to put up at the rooms with a harbour view.

We say it is worth the top-up, because you rise to the awaken city every morning and instantly feel energised, and go into slumber remembering the gorgeous night view of the skyline.

That really marked the most memorable element of our stay at Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel; we are not even talking about the ultra plush bedding and marble bathroom yet! They left us feeling so spoilt.

We had the club lounge access too, and you know what that means? Endless drinks, of course! The sheer selection available during evening cocktail hours will please any alcoholics, but more than this, the lounge has a very inviting atmosphere that is conducive for catching up on some work while enjoying some snacks and drinks.

Sitting within the hotel is Dynasty Restaurant, an elegant space that dishes out fine dim sum. Some of the more popular dishes include Quail Egg with Minced Shrimp and Pork Steamed Dumpling (HK$65), Barbecued Pork Bun (HK$58), and Black Truffle Sauce Vegetarian Dumpling (HK$58).

We cannot quite put a finger to Wan Chai when we first set foot in that neighbourhood. It is bustling like many other areas in Hong Kong, but for the lack of a better description – Wan Chai is quite distinctly Hong Kong. Forget about how people discount Wan Chai for its red light district (because it is really just one lane that you can easily miss), because there is so much more to look out for.

We love Wan Chai for its little gems and unexpected finds – comfort Hong Kong cuisine in humble settings, locals peddling their wares and arts, executives loosening their ties to unwind over a good lunch… and all these make up Hotel Indigo.

A relatively new baby in the local hotel scene, Hotel Indigo Hong Kong Island is everything Wan Chai is. It reflects snippets of its characteristic neighbourhood, and this is precisely what Hotel Indigo wants to create, so that guests feel blended in to the local culture, and locals resonate with the comforting familiarity.

Lushly furnished with resplendent hues, step into a whimsical world of arts right in the heart of Wan Chai. The rooms in Hotel Indigo quite unlike your typical commercialised properties. Every room has its unique configuration, together with a collection of art pieces and local touches to boast. Catch glimpses of the bustling vicinity from their ceiling-to-floor windows, and sip tea on the furry couches while reading your favourite magazines in the quiet corner of your room.

We enjoyed meals at the in-house restaurant too, where the kitchen dishes out a mix of continental and international cuisines. If you are feeling Eastern, their boiled soups are lovely. And to satisfy your Western palates, they have pretty mean salads, too!

Our favourite part about staying at Hotel Indigo? The location is superb. Just a stone’s throw from the MTR station, getting around is a breeze and we really enjoyed our little strolls back home every night. And it is really refreshing to stay out of the popular and typical districts for a change.

The next time you plan a trip to Hong Kong, book a stay with Hotel Indigo and experience what it is truly like to breathe in the essence of a neighbourhood; a charming one, at it!

The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong is a favourite among businessmen who have meetings at the International Commerce Centre, and young couples who enjoy the finest things in life.

The modern and classy interior design makes the hotel an absolute gem in the skyscraper-dominated city. It is not difficult to see why the Ritz-Carlton is one of the top hotels in the world. The service? Perfection. The staff know each guest by their first name, and they are always polite and courteous, and it feels like they are genuinely happy to see you at the hotel.

The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong has several excellent dining options which will ensure that you will never be hungry throughout the stay.

The Lounge is one of the most popular spots in Hong Kong where guests and locals go for afternoon tea (reservations are required way in advance).

Tin Lung Heen, the 2 Michelin star restaurant, delivers a modern interpretation of Cantonese food, and the Char-grilled Barbecued Iberian Pork is to-die-for. Prices are steep, but it is a restaurant with a terrific view and exceptional service. If you are celebrating a special occasion, I canot think of a better place than Tin Lung Heen at The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong.

Tosca offers Southern Italian cuisine in a stunning restaurant. The food is well-executed and I love that the chefs take pride in the food presentation to provide a terrific dining experience.

I stayed at the club level, so I had access to the Club Lounge’s facilities. It includes a buffet area, a lounge section and a meeting room. I spent quite a bit of time there reading a book, while indulging in snacks.

If you go, you must have a drink at Ozone, one of the highest bars in the world. Even if you are not staying at the hotel, you should also drop by for drinks with your friends.

What I love about The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, other than the wonderful service and luxurious experience, is that it has a fantastic view of the entire city. I was thinking to myself that there is no need to make a trip to The Peak as the hotel has an even better view.

The room was posh and very cosy. It was well-equipped, and the attention to detail demonstrated the hotel’s goal to make sure that every guest has a memorable time. As I was about to check out from the hotel, I felt a tinge of sadness as my stay had been nothing short of amazing and I did not want to leave. The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong is, without a doubt, one of the best hotels in the world. I will definitely be back soon.

I am a firm believer that staying in a good hotel completes the travel experience. Of course, quality comes at a price and many people would baulk at paying so much for a room. But when you get to enjoy the hotel’s amenities and have a good night’s rest, you will understand that the money is well-spent.

For me, one of the places to stay in Hong Kong has to be Intercontinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong. The location of the 5-star hotel makes it a favourite among businessmen and leisure travellers. It is positioned on the fringe of Tsim Sha Tsui and is within walking distance – just a 10 minutes walk to East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station – to the shopping, business and entertainment districts. Furthermore, the hotel offers breathtaking views of Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour.

Each of the 570 luxurious rooms and suites either present the best harbour view, or overlook the vibrant streets of Hong Kong. I had the good fortune of staying in a harbour view room, and it was really nice to wake up to the splendid view of Victoria Harbour every morning.

Start off each day with a mouthwatering breakfast buffet spread at the Cafe On M. The hotel is also home to Hoi King Heen, a 1 Michellin Star restaurant. Guests staying in the hotel – and even if visitors not staying at Intercontinental Grand Stanford – should drop by the Chinese restaurant for their exquisite Cantonese food. Italian restaurants are a dime a dozen in Hong Kong, but if you want genuine fare, The Mistral should be top of your list. It is well-known among locals for having very good Italian food. Tiffany’s New York Bar, located just off the lobby, is a New York style bar which is a perfect place to have a cocktail after dinner.

Business travellers would appreciate the services provided by Club InterContinental. Besides having personalised check-in and check-out, they also offer business and concierge services. Breakfast buffet, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails are additional perks for club members.

Be it work or play, Intercontinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong will ensure that you have a good time. If you are going to Hong Kong, you should definitely consider staying here. Intercontinental Grand Stanford is located at 70 Mody Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Tel: +852 2721 5161. Note: This was an invited media stay.
