At a Glance
Though this is one of Hong Kong’s premier business hotels, there are some glam touches here, including access to the Grand Cru, a 150-foot mega-yacht.

Review
This harborfront hotel, while mainly aimed at corporate clients and those attending events at the adjacent Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, also caters to leisure travelers (and even business people with a few free hours like to spend them by the rooftop pool). Spa sybarites should head straight for Plateau and Chinese food lovers can fill up on the island’s best dim sum at the elegant One Harbour Road restaurant.
The Plateau floor, which houses the spa and minimalist rooms with Japanese-style futon beds and deep granite tubs, has proved to be hugely popular. Each of the prime Plateau deluxe rooms and suites have tiny balconies—a rarity in Hong Kong—and glorious views of the harbor. All of the rooms boast rainfall showerheads, LCD TVs and easy access to the stunning pool, which offer a harbor vista.
Who Should Stay
Anyone attending a conference at the adjacent Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre; those who appreciate thoughtful, efficient service but still want easy access to the vibrant street life of Wan Chai, Admiralty and Causeway Bay. The outdoor pool is a bonus for those seeking an aquatic workout between business meetings.
