Hong Kong has a truly postmodern skyline, and you might say that it has the hotels to match. Space is at a premium, so rooms are often cramped and expensive. But they're also tricked out with cutting-edge conveniences and luxurious amenities.
Digs with rainfall-style showers, 42-inch plasma TVs, and iPod docks are more the rule than the exception. And it's hard to find a hotel without wireless Internet or a spa these days. Then there's that Hong Kong trademark—unparalleled harbor and skyline views.
Reserve well in advance, and plan to pay dearly. Hong Kong is now overrun as much by the new breed of vacationing upper-middle-class Mainlanders as by the international business set. Room shortages mean that the age of the under-US$100 hotel room is vanishing; top spots run US$500-$600.
