True to its name, this hotel, opened in 2008, actually does have panoramic views, despite being located a few blocks inland. That's because elevators whisk guests from the sleek lobby on the ground floor to rooms on the seventh to 37th floors. While the least expensive rooms, on lower floors, don't offer much to gaze upon (of these, try to get a room on the highest -- 17th -- floor facing the harbor, where views are actually quite good), those from the 18th floor and above offer great vistas over surrounding buildings of either the harbor or the city (naturally, the most expensive rooms are at the top; some even have windows in the bathroom). The restaurant is on the 38th floor, while on the roof is the so-called Sky Garden, an expanse of green along with a putting green and exercise room. In short, you'll have a lot to like about this hotel, including its location, tucked away on a side street between Tsim Sha Tsui and Tsim Sha Tsui East yet very convenient to both subway lines and trains to the New Territories and beyond.
