For us, The Peninsula comes first, but The Mandarin Oriental clocks in at a VERY close second... Both would be winning options.

I totally agree with JL. The Pen just can't be beaten. I also like the Grand Hyatt tremendously.

I agree, the Peninsula is the best. Service is excellent as well. The higher floors offer excellent views. I would say the Four Seasons is the next best hotel and then the Manadarin Oriental is a close third.

At the very least, you must have high tea in the lobby of the Peninsula. It would be a shame to travel all that way and miss one of life's simple pleasures.

We love the Hong Kong InterContinental on Kowloon side. A room or suite facing the harbor is spectaculor. It is as convenient as staying at the Peninsula with better views.

So many superb choices in Hong Kong. I recommend Hotel LKF for a sophisticated break from the big chains.

The Peninsula is the best hotel in Hong Kong, with a great location and also has private helicopter tours from its rooftop, one of the best ways to see all of the Hong Kong islands.
