Hotels in Hong Kong
Hong Kong offers a wide range of luxury hotels with all the major international chains represented, plus a growing boutique sector. Smaller hotels specialising in 'family style' hospitality can be a cheaper alternative. There are also a number of fairly new hotels in the New Territories, providing a range of recreational facilities. Guest house accommodation, with good standards and facilities, is also available.
In spite of the large number of hotel rooms available in Hong Kong, visitors are strongly advised to make an advance booking, especially during the peak season (May until November). There is a Hotel Reservation Centre at Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok on Lantau Island which can offer assistance. A 10% service charge and 5% government tax are added to the bill.
Grading: Though there is no grading structure as such, hotel members of the Hong Kong Tourism Board fall into one of four categories: High Tariff A Hotels, High Tariff B Hotels, Medium Tariff Hotels and Hostels/Guest houses.
Permitted in the countryside, though permission is required within the Country Park protection area. There are also campsites in rural areas.
There are several hostels and YMCA/YWCAs in Hong Kong.
Resort houses on the outlying islands can be hired.
