The Kowloon Shangri-La, Hong Kong overlooks Victoria Harbour in Kowloon's lively Tsim Sha Tsui neighbourhood, with numerous transit options close by, including Mass Transit Railway (MTR), buses and ferries.
Taxis
Taxis in Hong Kong are a bargain in comparison with many other international cities.
Flag fall is HKD 16 for the first 2 km, HKD 1.40 for each 200 m thereafter.
The passenger must pay the harbour tunnel toll upon returning to Kowloon from Hong Kong Island.
Star Ferry
An icon of the city for decades, the Star Ferry offers a leisurely 7-minute ride across the Victoria Harbour for just HKD 2.20, and the locals still take it routinely.
There is one just about every five minutes, operating from early in the morning until 11pm and covering three routes: one between Tsim Sha Tsui and Central, one between Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai, and one between Hung Hom and Wan Chai.
The Star Ferry terminal in Kowloon is a 15-minute walk from the hotel along the harbour promenade.
MTR
The MTR (Mass Transit Railway) is an extensive subway system interconnecting Hong Kong Island, as well as the Kowloon Peninsula and Lantau Island.
In addition, the East Rail of MTR, located at the doorstep of the hotel offers frequent direct train service from Kowloon to the New Territories and the Mainland China border.
Trams
The historic double-decker tramway runs on Hong Kong Island between Shau Kei Wan and Kennedy Town, with a branch in Happy Valley.
While 240,000 residents still commute by tram every day, this mode of transport has been in operation since 1904 and is a popular sightseeing attraction.
Private Car
A private car is a safe and comfortable way to get around Hong Kong.
Private car rental cost is HK 650 (USD 84) per hour with a minimum of 3 hours.
Daily valet cost is HK 450 (USD 58).
