Many times we had to visited Hong Kong and it’s always a nice place to visit.
This time we had to fly to Hong Kong with Hong Kong airlines, a new all business class airline flying from London to Hong Kong.

 

In the past I have visited the Harbor Grand Kowloon and I knew it was a great Hotel.
But the Harbour Grand Group also got another Luxury Hotel at the other side of the harbour the Harbour Grand Hong Kong.
So why not visited them both this time.

We started with the Harbour Grand Hotel Hong Kong.
A Luxury 5 star hotel situated on an Ideal location in the City with 828 rooms.
The hotel is located just a few steps from the Underground MTR Fortress Hill Station and offers easy access to the rest of Hong Kong.

 

As soon as you walk in you will be welcomed by the friendly staff in de hugh lobby with 3 gigantic Swarovski Chandeliers.
The bellboy will handle your luggage and we where told that we had a Harbour Club de Luxe Harbour View Room.

The Room featured a breathtaking panorama view of Central, Wanchai, Causeway Bay and the Kowloon Peninsula across Victoria Harbour.
The room was very clean had lots of features and also the hotel offers WiFi in the room.
But watch out you pay for each device that you logon, so if you have a iPad, Iphone and a Macbook they will charge you 3 times the fee.
The bathroom had a luxury round bath tub where easily 2 persons would fit.
The bed was comfortable and all amenities where available.

 

The hotel provides stunning views over the Harbour and Kowloon.
We wanted to visit the Harbour Club Lounge but due to renovations the Club Lounge and Swimming pool where under renovation.
Guests of Harbour Club Floors normaly enjoy exclusive access to the Harbour Club Lounge, which commands a spectacular bird’s eye view of the Hong Kong skyline.
During the renovation the guests from the Harbour Club Floors can visit Restaurant and Lounge Le 188 at level 40 for there afternoon tea and evening cocktails.

 

The tasteful Breakfast was available at level 3 at the Harbour Grand Cafe.
The Harbour Grand Hotel offers there guests a breakfast that you would expect from a luxury 5 star hotel.
There was way too much to choose from .
Would you like a continental American Breakfast or a Chinese Breakfast or maybe are you more into the Australian style of Breakfast.
Always great to start your day with a excellent Breakfast.

 

After two days it was time to head for the other Harbour Grand Hotel in Kowloon.
This hotel could be seen from the Harbour Grand Hotel Hong Kong and is situated on the other end of the Harbour.

 

The Harbour Grand hotel Kowloon offers 554 guest rooms and is located on the nicest part of one Kong Kowloon.
An Area that is well known for lots of  place to enjoy your visit to Hong Kong.

 

As soon as you walk in you are overwhelmed by the marble lobby.
But the eye catcher in the lobby is the  marvelous winding staircase that can be found on many wedding photo’s I would say.
It was time to check-in but as we arrived way to early they offered us breakfast first and finished up cleaning our room.
The breakfast was great and there was a lot to choose from.
In the Harbour Grand Hong Kong there was a little bit more choice, but enough is enough.

   

After our breakfast our Harbour Club Harbourview Room 1633 was ready.
A great room with stunning views over the Victoria Harbour and the old Hong Kong Airport what soon will be the new Cruise Terminal
Harbour Club Harbourview rooms offers exclusive Harbour Club privileges.
The room was clean, modern and was fitted with a very comfortable bed.
The spacious marble bathroom looks very modern and trendy but looks not over the top.

   

It was time to check-out the hotels Private Harbour Club on Level 19.
We where welcomed by the friendly reception staff members.
Personalized check-in and check-out service is provided by those two staff members
Here you can have your Breakfast as well and also late afternoon snacks and cocktails and beverages.
The lounges also provides complimentary WiFi Internet access and is a place to talk or rest and have a look at one of the two TV screens.
The lounge was clean and there where enough snacks and drinks available.
A mix from fresh orange juice with a snip of mango juice made my day.

   

The hotel offers a large sports centre and has a very nice swimming pool.
It was busy in the sport centre with people working out our using the spa.

 

On the roof, surrounded by comfortable chaise lounges, the famous glass-walled pool creates a memorable swim.
Overlooking the harbour it gave me a relaxing feeling.

   

The hotel offers also complimentary shuttles to several destinations in the area.
The Shuttle Bus leaves the hotel every 30 minutes and you can hop on at different stops.
Once every 30 minutes also a free shuttle bus leaves for the Airport Express Train station where you can check your luggage in before you arrive at the airport.

The Harbour Grand Hotel Kowloon was a busy hotel.
Lots of tourist use this excellent 5 star hotel in Hong Kong as also several Airline Crews.
This is a major sign that it is well known which means that it must be a perfect hotel to stay in when you visit Hong Kong next time.

For us it was a great hotel to stay and would recommend both hotels if you stay in Hong Kong
