Kowloon Hotel
The Kowloon is a modern glass-walled structure right behind The Peninsula, giving it a great location just a few a few minutes' walk from the Star Ferry and MTR. The hotel has a very good pizzeria, and even though it has no recreational facilities of its own, guests can use the pool and health club at the YMCA cater-cornered to the hotel or at its sister Harbour Plaza Metropolis hotel (free shuttle available) at reduced fees. The downside of the hotel: rooms are minuscule and are plagued by traffic noise. Although they have V-shaped bay windows, allowing unobstructed views up and down the street, The Peninsula's tower has robbed harbor views from all but the most expensive rooms.
Facilities:3 restaurants (Italian, Cantonese, international buffet); bar; access to nearby YMCA or sister hotel pool and health club (fee charged); tour desk; limousine service; business center; shopping arcade; salon; room service 6am-2am; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.
