Hong Kong Park
The hotel is just a stone's throw away from Hong Kong Park, an oasis of green in an urban landscape. The park features an aviary, a greenhouse, the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware, the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre, fountains, lily ponds, playgrounds, a restaurant and even a marriage registry. The aviary resembles a tropical rainforest and features more than 80 species of birds.
Victoria Peak
At 1,038 feet (322 metres), Victoria Peak is Hong Kong Island's tallest hill. Majestic skyscrapers and high-rise residential blocks encircle the harbour, which boasts views of the hills of Kowloon in the distance. Victoria Peak provides a breathtaking view during the day and at night.
A favourable way to get to the peak is by taking the Peak Tram, a historical funicular railway that carves a steep 1,223-foot-high (373-metre-high) swathe up the green mountainside. The tram has been in operation since 1888.
