The Royal Garden Hotel in Hong Kong is a favorite choice.

Before traveling, I didn't do much research on Hong Kong hotels. I usually opt for international chains, but this time, The Royal Garden Hotel's unfamiliar style pleasantly surprised me. What I love most is its old money aesthetic; the hotel is well-maintained despite its age. The value for money is great, and even the standard rooms are spacious, changing my stereotype of cramped Hong Kong hotels. The elevators and the lobby café are eye-catching, offering a magnificent view while having breakfast. The famous butterfly pastries are sold at Fine Foods on the first floor, starting at 11 AM. Arrive a few minutes early to queue, and you can easily buy them with a 15% discount using your room card. I almost forgot about the Mediterranean-style pool on the top floor, accessible by switching elevators on the 15th floor to reach the 17th. It offers a full view of Victoria Harbour, perfect for vacation photos. I was too busy with work and only managed a quick, unsatisfactory shot. Don't miss this experience. The sky rooms/suites on the 17th and 18th floors must be amazing. The hotel is located in Tsim Sha Tsui, with convenient public transport, just a few steps from Victoria Harbour. At night, the Avenue of Stars, with Leslie Cheung's name, always has admirers paying tribute. #HongKongHotels #TheRoyalGardenHotel #ButterflyPastries #VictoriaHarbourView #AvenueofStars #LeslieCheung
