Posts: 1749I wonder what HKG Hong Kong hotel prices will be after international travel gets going again. Recently I read an article about HKG planning to offering incentives to lure travelers. Due to the recent political moves by Beijing re HKG, I assume many travelers will be looking elsewhere to spend their time.
About 10 years ago when I was considering a three month visit to HKG the high hotel prices and small claustrophobic rooms were a turn off. I opted for Singapore instead.
Back in 2019 the following article speaks of HKG hotel prices plunging during a time of protests:

I have read a lot of articles discussing the closure of hotels (in general), due to the plunge in business and tourist traffic. I also read that other Hong Kong hotel properties managed by Rhombus International (Hotel Panorama; Hotel LKF; Hotel Pennington) have also closed. My suspicion is that Rhombus is exiting the HK market. The owners of these property (ies) will find a new management company and re-open as a hotel when the market conditions are right. From the reviews these were nice properties, so I don't see them being target for redevelopment.

Posts: 673Panorama on Hart Ave TST
I found out through this forum some months ago that the Hotel Panorama on Hart Ave TST has closed. Can anyone in the HK scene at the moment tell me what is on that location now? Another hotel?
Thanks.

Posts: 134Thanks for the tips Guys. It looks like it will be later in the year when I re-visit, as long as Covoid has receded.

Also, I suggest you make your booking for two people instead of one if it's the same price, especially if you get a good room rate that includes breakfast or club lounge access, because if you book for one person and you have a lady stay overnight you'll the have to pay the hotel's outlandish rates for breakfast for her, or if you take a date up to the lounge for happy hour drinks and a bite to eat, you may have to pay a 'guest' fee.

Posts: 134Are there any Hong Kong based travel agents who can supply 5* hotel rates cheaper than Booking or hotels.com?
It's 17 years since I last visited but I am ready for a return, in those 17 years my focus was on Thailand. .
I stayed at the Grand Stanford Intercontinental before, great harbour views and some very interesting nightlife in the adjacent square. .
