What I did in 22 hours at Hong Kong Airport, Novotel Citygate

Hong Kong has lost its charm for a long time, but the accessibility and convenience of Hong Kong Airport are still indispensable for a Pearl River Delta player like me. Even though it has degenerated from a travel destination to a transit point, it is still very attractive now with the free room benefit of the AccorHotels Elite Card. I have stayed in two MGallery hotels before, so I changed to Novotel Citygate this time. The hotel is located in Tung Chung, only one subway stop away from Hong Kong Airport. It is home to four international chain stores, as well as Hong Kong's famous tourist attraction Lantau Island and the huge outlet mall Citygate. It is very suitable for rest and stay during transit, with a one-stop service for eating, drinking and having fun, and everything is arranged clearly. It has been in operation for more than ten years. Its decoration style is simple and unpretentious, but it excels in providing classical full-service. Whether it is accommodation, dining, or swimming pool and fitness, everything is well presented. The treatment for platinum members is also generous. The room is upgraded to the executive floor, and they are given drink coupons for two and macarons. The executive lounge has afternoon tea and dinner, which are mainly Western style. It is not rich but enough to fill you up. The seafood buffet dinner is not to be missed, with all-you-can-eat snow crab legs and Movenpick ice cream. It’s buy one get one free, very cost-effective. Remember to arrive early and wear a coat. The next day's breakfast was still arranged in this restaurant, but unfortunately the environment was completely different and the cold buffet was so appetizing that it made people lose their appetite. The guest room is 28 square meters in size, which is large enough to even consider the rationality of the layout, which is rare in hotels of the same level in Hong Kong. There are angled bay windows overlooking the sunset, mountains and sea. The most unique design is the transparent square island in the middle of the guest room, which is used to place a coffee machine and a mini bar. But there are no mobile phone charging ports on both sides of the bed, which greatly reduced the score. Finally, after comprehensively evaluating the three hotels in Hong Kong where AccorHotels Rewards cards can be redeemed, I would choose this one without hesitation. Tips 1. The hotel has a free shuttle bus, located at Platform 11-14 of Parking Lot 1 at Airport Exit B, with one bus every 20 minutes from morning to night. Tips 2: There is a corridor in the hotel lobby, which allows direct access to Citygate and the subway, which is very convenient. Don't go out foolishly to find a way to get exposed to the sun. Tips 3: If you want to accumulate Accor points for various consumption in the hotel, you need to pay with a single VISA bill. As to why this is necessary, I am not sure.
