Excelsior

Excelsior Review

Despite its 1970s furnishings and interior, this hotel remains a favorite with travelers, mainly because its prices are moderate compared with other high-end hotels, especially in the center of Causeway Bay. A lively English pub is in the basement of the hotel, which may explain its popularity with the British. Some rooms are spacious, with splendid views of the bay; other rooms are smaller and have street views. But all have a light, contemporary design and include high-tech amenities. The hotel has no pool, but it does have its own spa and fitness center. The location, adjacent to Victoria Park, is ideal for recreation, shopping, and dining. On a historical note, the hotel sits on the first plot of land auctioned by the British government when Hong Kong became a colony in 1841.
