During the trip, I stayed at this 5-star business hotel called The Conrad which is quite near Admiralty MTR and right next to Shangri-La Hotel. There is also a huge shopping centre called Pacific Plaza right below the hotel. The good thing about this hotel is that it is within walking distance of many places of interest like The Peak pram station, Star Ferry Pier, Central District, etc. However, the irony was that whenever I asked the hotel receptionist for directions, they would always tell me to take a taxi, even if it were only a 5-10min walk away!

At HKD1700 a night (that's roughly SGD340 a night and all paid for!), I was able to enjoy a pretty nice view of the city from my Superior View Room on the 36th floor, albeit blocked by a lot of tall buildings; and a sumptuous continental buffet breakfast every morning.
