Hong Kong is a city of dazzling contrasts: an old chinese wooden sailboat bobbing alongside huge ocean liners against the backdrop of soaring skyscrapers; a historic temple situated right at the entrance to the subway; vendors selling bargains at the night street markets competing with designer boutiques and all the brand name stores you can think of...It is amidst these east-and-west, old-and-modern contrasts that Hong Kong offers visitors something unique - the chance to experience a vibrant Chinese city without sacrificing the comforts of home.

There are a whole range of accommodation for tourists to choose from, from rent-a-room in guesthouses to executive suites in 5 star hotels. The choice is so overwhelming that many visitors to Hong Kong are completely at a loss. There is a special niche that has not been well covered on the internet - the boutique hotels in Hong Kong. Though hip boutique hotels have long been a popular choice in the Western market, it is only a starting trend in Hong Kong.

In these few years, boutique hotels have sprung up in Hong Kong, mostly concentrated in the districts of Central, Wanchai and Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island, and recently in Tsimshatsui in Kowloon. All these hotels put the emphasis on high-tech design , personality and originality, attracting a young crowd with hipness rather than grandeur. Instead of aiming at the mass mid-market of China mainland tourists, these boutique hotels cater to western tourists and business travellers from North America, Europe, Australia, Japan and Southeast Asia. Most of these hotels are priced reasonably, providing an alternative to the sky-high prices of humongous 5 star hotels.

provides you with a comprehensive guide to boutique hotels in Hong Kong , as well as the e-tools to plan and book your trip . Discerning travellers to Hong Kong looking for an exceptional and personalized level of accommodation, services and facilities can now choose from the following selection:

    Luxe Manor
Hotel Details A new boutique hotel, opened in December 2006, with an ecclectic mix of Oriental Post-modern and European decor. The ambiance is surreal yet oddly comforting. The Luxe Manor is the first designer boutique hotel in Kowloon, with 153 rooms and 6 themed suites. The hotel is located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, the premier shopping and entertainment centre of Kowloon with direct access to major restaurants and bars in the Knutsford Terrace.
The Luxe Manor will fill a niche for both business and leisure travellers that wish to be stimulated by their surroundings. It will offer all of the amenities and services required and desired - within a space that engages the imagination. The boutique hotel's unique design is quirky and fun, yet comfortably stylish. Playing with illusion - where reality meets fiction and tradition meets modernity -- the standard room design emulates and interprets the grandness of an antique bedroom filled with family heirlooms. Meanwhile, the television is placed within a framed mirror with the equipment stowed in a faux fireplace.
