Shopping is one of Hong Kong's prime attractions, fuelled by an enormous variety of luxury shops featuring top international brands, bargains on clothing and electronics, and, best of all for the savvy shopper, an absence of sales taxes. Items such as silk, embroidery, jewellery, electronic goods, cameras, jade and carpets are particularly popular.

Major shopping areas on Hong Kong Island include Central (Pacific Place Mall), Causeway Bay and Wan Chai. Across Victoria Harbour in Kowloon, Tsim Sha Tsui has many shopping centres, electronics stores and tailors.

Usually, shopping hours at most large department stores are from 11am to 7pm every day, particularly in Central. however, some shops may remain open for business until 10pm.

The hotel is situated atop Pacific Place Mall, a prestignous shopping and entertainment complex with over 200 retail outlets, restaurants and cinema.
