Eight of the best staycation deals at Hong Kong hotels for under HK$1,000, many with meals thrown in
- For under HK$1,000 a night, give yourself a change of scene with a Hong Kong hotel stay. Most deals include meals - lobster, cheese and abalone, anyone?
- From East Kowloon to the south side of Hong Kong Island, take your pick of rooms with views, and in some cases extras such as board games and shopping vouchers
A staycation at one of Hong Kong’s five-star hotels is all well and good if your workplace hasn’t been hit by slower sales, pay cuts and furloughs. For those who have been affected, or who are being more prudent during the pandemic, the good news is there are plenty of charming getaways among the city’s smaller boutique inns and lodgings.
So lower your luxury expectations and consider these overnight stays, all of which are under HK$1,000 (US$130) a night.
