This luxury hotel lives up to the Shangri-La brand's stellar reputation, but there are a few small details that prevent it from being a true five-pearl property. Beautiful rooms have elegant furnishings, wood accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows, most with sweeping views of Victoria Harbor or the skyline. But lower category room bathrooms, though clad in marble, feature hotel-brand toiletries, and a few don’t have tubs. There are several fine dining options, as well as a more casual tapas bar and a lobby lounge with bar service, but the highlight here is the Shang Palace, a wonderful Cantonese restaurant boasting two Michelin stars and outstanding service (which reopened in September 2012 after a renovation). The fitness center, small indoor pool, and classy business center make it a great pick for business travelers, but its central location in Tsim Sha Tsui, near major attractions and the MTR, make it an ideal option for tourists, too.

The 554-room Harbour Grand is slightly removed from the main attractions in Kowloon. However, many choose to stay here precisely because it isn't in the center of the hustle and bustle. For those guests who want to explore, the hotel provides a free bus shuttle to major attractions. The property overlooks the harbor, with great views from the fitness center, pool, and more than half of the guest rooms. All rooms have marble bathrooms (some with separate showers and tubs) and flat-screen TVs. Decor is somewhat generic, though, with simple wood furnishings, upholstered chairs, and wall-to-wall carpeting. The property is a solid choice in Kowloon, but those looking for over-the-top luxury and a more central location may consider the Peninsula.

Situated on Hollywood Road near the Soho area in Central, this upper-middle-range hotel is within walking distance of Man Mo Temple and the Soho dining and entertainment district. The 148 guest rooms are small but well-equipped with kitchenettes, and technology like flat-screen TVs, multimedia docking stations, free smartphones with unlimited local calls and 3G data, and free Wi-Fi. Notable downsides are the absence of a restaurant or breakfast service. Rates here are hard to beat, but it may be worth checking out the Hotel Jen Hong Kong, which has an on-site restaurant and rooftop pool.

Only a few hotels in Hong Kong deliver the same level of luxury as the Ritz-Carlton. Large rooms feature decadent touches, such as plush beds with down pillows and comforterrs, entertainment systems, Nespresso coffeemakers, and marble bathrooms. The hotel sits atop Hong Kong’s ICC, one of the city's tallest buildings, and views are breathtaking when the sky is clear. Highlights include a stylish indoor pool, gym, and top-notch spa. However, dining and drinking are the top draw here, and include Ozone (the world's highest bar) and Michelin-starred Tosca. A luxury mall and the Kowloon MTR station are both attached to the hotel, though most sights are too far to reach on foot. For luxury that's a bit more classic, opt for the original Mandarin-Oriental on Hong Kong Island instead.

The Dorsett Mong Kok is a sleek, modern hotel situated between the Mong Kok and Tai Kok Tsui neighborhoods in western Kowloon. Its 285 rooms each provide the free use of a smartphone with free calls and Internet connections, as well as comfy bedding and decent refreshment amenities -- though most rooms are small. While there is a small fitness studio, the hotel lacks pool and spa facilities, though for its very reasonable rates this is easy to forgive. Check out the nearby Silka West Kowloon Hotel for a slightly cozier vibe.

The five-pearl Langham, Hong Kong is located in the heart of Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsu, within easy access of metro stations, shopping, and entertainment. The 498 rooms and suites are elegant and come with iHome docking stations and marble bathrooms with walk-in rainfall showers and separate tubs. Guests of Executive Rooms and suites get access to the Langham Club lounge, with perks such as free buffet breakfast and evening cocktails. While the hotel offers great amenities across the board, including an outdoor heated rooftop pool, a large fitness center, and plenty of conference space, it's the restaurants that really take the spotlight here, particularly T'Ang Court, which has earned three Michelin Stars for its Cantonese cuisine. Travelers may want to compare rates with the InterContinental Hong Kong, which offers butler service for all guests.

Situated in the bustling tourist and shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui, the 372-room Salisbury - YMCA of Hong Kong is an upscale property that's well-located within walking distance to major sights and the harbor. One highlight of this property is its excellent harbor views. Renovated in 2014, the hotel feels fresh with a stylish lobby and simple, subdued rooms. The bright, sun-filled rooms have free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, and electric kettles. They're also stocked with free water and fresh fruit. There are two on-site restaurants, a range of YMCA-related fitness facilities (a lap pool, hot tub, children's pool, rock-climbing wall, and squash courts), a hair salon, and outdoor terrace. A more luxurious option would be the Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers, which has a heated rooftop pool and an Oyster and Wine Bar, but rates can be pricier.

We've seen some of the most luxurious properties in Hong Kong, and the upscale Putman -- with its posh condo vibe in cool Sheung Wan -- is still one of our favorite hotels in the city. Will you get a rooftop pool here? No. But the full-floor suites are massive and have a subtle contemporary style. City views are also some of the most stunning in town, especially since each suite has a wall of windows that run the width of the building. With high-end in-suite extras like Nespresso machines, Frette linens, and both soaking tubs and rainfall showers, a stay here is indulgent, but independent. If you'd prefer an upscale option with more features, the Conrad Hong Kong will fit the bill. However, prepare yourself for far higher rates.
