Hotel LFK by Rhombus

Description:

• If the only thing you want separating you from Hong Kong's biggest nightlife scene is an elevator, this is the place for you (luckily, keyed elevator access keeps inebriated nonguests from wandering the halls). Located at the top of upward-sloping Lan Kwai Fong (often abbreviated to LKF), this hushed and refined oasis is most noted for its enormous rooms (starting at 500 sq. m/5,380 sq. ft.), bigger than most Hong Kong apartments and the kind of place you wouldn't mind being holed up in to nurse a hangover or watch movies on the 62-inch LCD TV. Rooms are also high enough to provide good city views, though only the highest floors have a glimpse of the harbor between buildings. In-room espresso machines and free breakfast help jump-start the day, while complimentary evening cocktails can serve as a launch to another night of pub crawls. Or, if you wish to dine in, a top-floor restaurant and bar provide mesmerizing views. In any case, its Central location and reasonable price make it convenient for business and leisure travelers alike, though business travelers might find it tiresome to wade through the nightly LKF crowds. In any case, don't confuse this hotel with the Hotel Lan Kwai Fong, which isn't in Lan Kwai Fong at all.
