Although not as centrally located as my other picks in Causeway Bay, this new hotel has some compelling advantages that put it near the top of the list (and in any case, the MTR and tram lines are just outside the door and the hotel provides a free shuttle bus to the shopping district in Causeway Bay). For one thing, it's cheerier and more colorful than most hotels, with a contemporary and fun design that extends through the lobby and into the rooms, the most expensive of which have great views over Victoria Park to the harbor (the cheapest rooms face another building). In addition, it has all the facilities most travelers need, including free broadband Internet service and a rooftop pool complete with great views. Unfortunately, bathrooms are small, with showers instead of tubs and limited counter space, but in-room vanities provide extra place to stow stuff. In short, this is a welcome addition to Causeway Bay, despite its unlikely location.
Facilities:
Restaurant (coffee shop); bar; outdoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; tour desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; free shuttle to Wan Chai and Causeway Bay
