Hong Kong hotels are constantly outdoing each other with their creations of atmospheric ambiances and eye-catching interiors. And 2008 is no exception: new hotels have opened, and some have undergone a real metamorphosis. With their new, trendy personalities, the hotels are attracting even more visitors - and Hong Kong is still the must see metropolis in Asia.

The W-hotel, built on the occasion of the last Olympic Games, is the latest addition to the lively Kowloon district. The hotel has 393 luxury guest rooms, with a striking view of the Hong Kong skyline. The rooms are very well-equipped with the latest technological gadgets; there is even an LCD screen hanging in every bathroom!

In addition, the hotel offers its ‘whatever/whenever service’ - guests can order ‘whatever’ ‘whenever’ they like. W-hotel can provide virtually anything on request - from jogging shoes to a private jet.

Surreal ambiance
In the heart of the Tsim Sha Tsui district, you find the popular, trendy Luxe Manor and Mira hotels. The Luxe Manor boutique hotel has developed a unique design for six new suites: upon entering each new suite, you step into another world.

You can choose from the themes: Nordic, Safari, Liaison, Royal, Chic or Mirage.

Sleeping in sparkling crystal surroundings or right under the desert stars; waking up in a romantic, Venetian atmosphere or in a seductive Hollywood suite: everything is possible.

The Mirage suite takes the cake with its surreal ambiance: undulating walls, optical illusions, hidden treasures: nothing is what it seems in this enchanting space.

The Kowloon and Tsim Sha Tsui districts are extremely popular. Kowloon is the ideal place for shopping, and Tsim Sha Tsui is a trendy night-life quarter.

The Mira Hotel, formerly the Miramar, has been in existence for over 50 years and renews its stylish, luxurious character each year. All of the rooms are designed in red, green and silver. To satisfy each visitor’s every desire, you will find the very latest technologies in this hotel as well. For delicious coffee and a wide assortment of chocolate, go to the adjoining Coco café-patisserie.

The trendy Yamm Restaurant next to the lobby is open 24 hours a day and serves Japanese specialties ‘a la minute’. For a delectable cocktail later in the evening, the hotel’s Room One lounge bar is the place to be.

The Kowloon and Tsim Sha Tsui districts are extremely popular. Kowloon is the ideal place for shopping, and Tsim Sha Tsui is a trendy night-life quarter.
