Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong

Description:

• This large, 43-story hotel (and Marriott affiliate) sits beside the Convention and Exhibition Centre on the Wan Chai waterfront, separated from the Grand Hyatt by Hong Kong's largest outdoor hotel swimming pool and a garden with a playground and jogging trail, shared by the two hotels. Just a couple of minutes' walk from the Wan Chai Star Ferry that delivers passengers to Tsim Sha Tsui (but a longer hike to the nearest tram or MTR station), it provides some of the same facilities and advantages as the Hyatt but at a lower price; obviously, it caters largely to those attending functions at the convention center, which can make it quite busy, as well as business travelers. More than 65% of the rooms boast outstanding views of the harbor through floor-to-ceiling windows. The rest of the rooms face the pool and garden, which for Hong Kong isn't bad at all.

  Facilities: 3 restaurants; lounge; dance club; huge outdoor pool; children's splash pool and playground; golf-driving range; 2 lighted outdoor tennis courts; exercise room; Jacuzzi; jogging trail; concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; executive-level rooms; house doctor
