Ready for takeoff?

When it comes to stopovers, they’re often full of stress, not enough sleep, and scrambling to get to the airport on time. We hope that with these hotels, you’ll be able to slow down, and actually enjoy your Hong Kong stopover. Remember to always factor in that you’ll want to be at the airport three hours before departure, especially if you have baggage to check in. Then, add in another half hour of buffer time for unexpected traffic jams or flat tires. Once you figure out what time you’ll have to head for the airport, you can then schedule sightseeing, sleep, and time to enjoy your stopover.
