Causeway Bay

Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Causeway Bay

A high-rise retreat in a high-energy ’hood. $$

It’s a few minutes’ walk from Crowne Plaza to the Times Square and Hysan Place mega malls, but gaze in the other direction, and you’ve got uninterrupted views of Happy Valley Racecourse – a real rarity for hotels in Causeway Bay. (Hong Kong Stadium, where the Hong Kong Sevens takes place every year, is also nearby.) The hotel’s 263 rooms and suites provide a quiet haven, equipped with double-glazed windows and a pillow menu for sound sleep. Guests tend to be business travellers but after hours the 28th floor is the place to be: Club @28’s rooftop bar and pool has a fantastic vantage point.

Detail You’ll Love: Breeze, on the fifth floor, has an outdoor fitness centre, with weights, treadmills, a dedicated station for mat work – and some powerful fans.

Pool? Yes, an outdoor pool.
