"Hong Kong is one of the most diverse destinations in the world, with something to do for everyone. If you're a culture vulture, a shopper or you just want to relax by a luxury pool, Hong Kong has all these things!
"A must-see whilst visiting is Victoria Peaks, where you can relax drinking a chilled glass of wine whilst looking down over the whole city. A short boat ride away (or Ngong Ping cable car for the more daring) is Langtau island, where you can take the kids to Disneyland or visit the Ngong Ping village with the awe inspiring Giant Buddha statue.
"A final must to do in Hong Kong is the evening harbour cruise followed by dinner at Felix, which is the restaurant on the top floor of the Peninsular Hotel. Dinner here speaks for itself!"
Airport hotels for a Hong Kong holiday
Skip motorway queues and early starts with an airport hotel
Our prices start at £39 per night at Heathrow, perfect for anyone heading out early in the morning who wants to save for the holiday.
With a long flight to Hong Kong ahead of you, you'll want to make sure you miss any motorway hold-ups and are on time for check-in on the day you fly. With an airport hotel you can enjoy a night in luxury just five minutes away from the terminal, avoiding any delays and ensuring you don't miss your flight. We can help you find a room at a wide range of Heathrow airport hotels, as well as many hotels at 25 other UK airports.
An airport hotel is more than just a room for the night.
Have you ever booked a cheap hotel room only to be left stunned at the high price of food, drinks and other necessary extras? Well when you book with us you can save on your evening meals as well as booking your party a taxi transfer service to get you to the airport and back. Our airport hotel upgrades are here to help you have a hassle-free start to your Hong Kong holiday.
Our best price guarantee also applies to our airport hotels. If you can find the same room cheaper elsewhere within 24 hours, we'll let you stay for FREE.
