The Rennaisance Harbour View Hotel is located close to the central commercial district, within easy walking distance of the Star ferry, which you catch over to Kowloon. it is 44 km from the airport and has car parking facilites. The hotel is 42-story with 860 guestrooms and suites overlooking Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor.

At the restaurants you can eat classic Cantonese and western cuisine and the facilities within the hotel include a podium garden, outdoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, a golf driving range, tennis courts, a jogging trail and a fitness center.

Room facilities include air-conditioning, mini-Bar, cots, radio, tea and coffee making facilities, safe, cable television, hair dryer, voicemail and inhouse movies.

The hotel also offers babysitting services, restaurants, bar, beauty parlour, car rental, shops and a laundry service.

I stayed here on our way back from New Zealand on our honeymoon and had a fabulous time. On arrival we were greated with flowers, cakes, fruit and champagne in our room.

Our room was on the 26th floor and we had stunning views across the harbour to Kowloon. The room was nicely decorated with a spacious clean bathroom and was kept spotless by the staff. Airconditioning was handy and worked well.

The bar was friendly and served a variety of drinks and snacks including freshly squeezed fruit juices. There was often live music to entertain.

We didn't dine in the restaurant but it looked very nice and offered a wide range of food. We did get room service which was excellent.

Breakfast was also superb and offered the biggest range of food you could imagine, including Chinese, Japanese and Western.

The pool was absolutely stunning, although it was too cold to use an outdoor swimming pool when we were there.

The location of the hotel was excellent and we were able to walk easily to the Star Ferry to get over to kowloon to do some shopping - fabulous! However cabs are readily available outside the hotel and are very cheap.

The hotel was absolutely spotless at all times.

Rooms start at around £75.00 per night, however we paid £40 as part of the holiday package.

Highly recommended.
