Hong Kong Hotel for Long Layover

Hi!

I am struggling to decide which hotel to book in Hong Kong. We have a long layover so are going to travel into the city for the night (10pm for sleep) and wander around in the morning before our 2pm flight (AKL-LHR).

I think that we want to take the Airport Express train (like trains, less stress when tired) and I can't work our easily which hotels are close to the train stations. And there are just so many hotels to choose that I am going round and round.

I'd like to spend less than 2,000HKD (much less if I am really honest but meh, I don't get time off work often).

Or should we just flag it and stay by the airport and see HK next time round?

Any suggestions? I have looked through the prior posts and spent hours on trip advisor but my mild OCD is getting in the way of making a decision (must look at every hotel). Please help me friendly Fodorites.

You need to tell us the date you're staying and preferably a short list of hotels you have looked at.

Hi --

I recommend the Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott Hotel. It's a beautiful property, they provide a five-minute complimentary shuttle from the airport every half-hour and the service is excellent (many perks if you're Marriott Gold). My Tripadvisor Review below.

The following morning you can take a complimentary five-minute shuttle ride to Tung Chung station for either high-end outlet shopping or to take the cable-car up to the Big Buddha and the monastery. It's worth seeing and you won't spend half your HK-time traveling to/from the city.

I like Esme Travels suggetion. The giant buddha and calberide are amazing. If you do that you may want your concierge to set it up through a tour agent that way you dont have to wait in the long line ( should there be one).

But, you will have to be back at airport with bags in hand by noon, so you really need to plan well. It is close to the airport as mentioned though.
