There's no secret that the luxury hotels in Hong Kong are plentiful and most of them magnificent.

If you're looking for hotels in all price classes, then Kowloon is your best bet. Staying on Hong Kong island is much more pricier and the budget hotels are in minority.

I visited Hong Kong in December 2008 and only spent a week there. I stayed at Empire Hotel during my entire stay there. This article is not complete. I will add more hotels as I find worthy ones.

One of the Hotel Shuttle buses drove us from the airport and directly to Empire Hotel in Tsim Tsa Tsui -– the tourist district in Kowloon.

Just as we walked into the reception, we were amazed by the clean and professional look of this hotel. Marble floors, clean stylish design but at the same time the hotel had a warm atmosphere to it.

Checking in was effortless even though we were arriving late in the evening. Baggage was picked up by the bell boys and taken to our rooms.

Everything was so neat and clean. Our room met most of our expectations -– spacious and a very clean bathroom. Towels were changed every day.

But frankly, it's not the best room I've seen on luxury hotels in Hong Kong or Asia. It was more simple and didn't wow me compared to, for instance Mandarin Hotels. Maybe we were unlucky, who knows...

Our room included all the typical amenities; like TV, air-con, broad band internet, tea and coffee, a security safe and much more. Their bed was very comfortable, and I remember having a good night sleep each night we stayed there.

In the morning, we woke up at around 8.00 am and went downstairs to have breakfast buffet (surcharges apply). Their buffet was absolutely mouth-running. They served Cantonese and Western food/lunch -– hot and cold, fresh fruit, tea and coffee. My boyfriend and cousin enjoyed the breakfast food as well!

But I think the best part of this hotel must be its location. It's located in the heart of Kowloon. Only a couple of minutes from Kowloon park, and just a couple of meters from the hotel, you can find a range of shops, malls and restaurants continuing into Nathan Road. It's quite possible to walk down to the harbor to visit Hong Kong island.

Location, location, location -– excellent!

I recommended Empire Hotel to one of my former colleagues Veronica, who stayed there for four days (in 2010). After Veronica came back with her boyfriend -- she thanked me. She also agreed that Empire Hotel was the best in terms of location. They didn't need to travel at great distances to see the things they wanted.
