We stayed at the Harbour Grand Kowloon in January. Although the weather was not particularly kind to us, we were very impressed with the welcome we received from all the staff at the Harbour Grand, but particularly special mention to Jean at Reception in the Harbour Club on the 19th Floor who could not have been friendlier.
We stayed in a Harbour Club room with views over the harbour. The room was clean and up to the expected standard, although not remarkable in any respect - expect of course for the view which was fantastic (even with grey skies on most days).
Yes - this hotel is further away from the hustle of the city, but that has some benefits and we found the free shuttle bus to Tsim Sha Tsui to be a perfectly acceptable way to get to and from. The shuttle bus runs every half hour and takes just 10 minutes to deliver you outside the Peninsula Hotel. From here you have very easy access to the Star Ferry or MTR.
Our trip was timed with the Chinese New Year celebrations and we enjoyed watching the fireworks from the roof deck - although the view was slightly restricted due to some annoying satellite dishes! Watching all the boats on the harbour more than made up for that however. Additionally the food was tasty, the staff fantastic and the wine continually flowing - a very enjoyable evening.
Oh and the marble staircase is beautiful - plenty of wedding photo opportunities taking place there as previous reviewers have said!
Would definitely recommend this hotel - harbour view a must! Thank you Harbour Grand Kowloon!
Room Tip: It has got to be a Harbour Club room with harbour view on the 19th or 20th floors
