Hong Kong hotel Harbour Grand hotel







The Harbour Grand Hotel is  situated in the North Point/Causeway Bay area and is a short walk to the Fortress Hill MTR  station.  This hotel is not far from the Metropark Hotel that we stayed in during 2007.


In the map above, one can see the location of the hotel and it's proximity to the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal just across Kowloon bay.

Internet access is NOT free at this hotel.   The best and closest wifi hotspot is the Hong Kong central library.
