Advice for Travelers in Hong Kong

Places we stayed and things we did:

Nathan Hotel: At US$100 (700 hk $) for a swank double, this was a really nice mid range option in Hong Kong. It was hip, incredibly comfy, and located conveniently on Nathan Road in Kowloon. We got a free upgrade -- better room and free breakfast -- by filling out a form for a Corporate account. (Which included such questions as whether we'd be staying in Hong Kong under 50 days a year or over. . . )

The Hong Kong Art Museum in Kowloon was fantastic--well-detailed with interesting information and stunning jades and paintings.

Club Feather Boa was our favorite (secret) ex-pat bar. It's an antique store turned into a bar. No sign on the door but really friendly once inside the comfy, Roccoco room. Members only on the weekends, though.Club Feather Boa38 Staunton St. Central, Hong Kongtel:2857 2586

Afternoon cream tea at the Peninsula Hotel is considered touristy, but still really yummy and worth it.
