Hong Kong – Friday 4th November 2016 (Grant Robinson)

Hi all,
after our Macau to Hong Kong ferry crossing, we now found ourselves in the heart of the city. For ease and speed, we took a taxi to the airport and between us this cost (including motorway toll) a total of 340 HKD (£35). It is quite some distance from the city to the airport.

We arrived at another top notch and well reported hotel in the Regal airport Hotel. I had contacted this hotel in advance to confirm rooms with views and so we ended up with rooms Executive Club Rooms 1140 & 1142. Both gave excellent views of both runways and the airport overall.

With Club Lounge rooms, you can get a personalised check-in (and check-out) on floor 11 at the Executive Club Lounge rather than queue at the downstairs reception.

This hotel is connected directly to the terminal by a covered walkway.

We grabbed some food and drink in the Executive Club Lounge and let the spotting commence…..
