The Lan Kwai Fong Hotel is a simple, yet upscale, 33-floor property with a prime position in Hong Kong island's Center district. Its location means numerous surrounding shopping and dining options including SoHo and Lan Kwai Fong entertainment areas. Interior design is attractive Oriental-themed styling while dining comes in the form of an impressive two-Michelin-starred restaurant. While some rooms are small, others have harbor views and all provide free use of smart phones. Rates are certainly reasonable for the area, though for something a little more modern -- and cheaper -- take a look at the Holiday Inn Express Hong Kong Soho.

OZO Wesley Hong Kong is a contemporary three-pearl hotel in the bustling Wan Chai district, a short walk from the Pacific Place mall and Wan Chai MTR station. The hotel features sleek design elements and 251 rooms with window seats, mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. The OZO doesn't have many facilities, though it does offer a hot-and-cold breakfast buffet (for a fee), snacks and drinks for purchase, and an internet corner. Travelers who want on-site lunch and dinner options might try the nearby Wharney Guang Dong, which also has a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, though it's far less stylish.

The four-pearl Regal Hongkong Hotel has a prime location in Causeway Bay, near Victoria Park and the main MTR Causeway Bay Station. Popular shopping and dining are within close walking distance, as are attractions along the harbor. The over-the-top baroque European decor feels terribly dated, but even the standard rooms here are larger than most, and all 481 rooms have modern amenities like flat-screen TVs and minibars. A rooftop pool and several on-site dining options offer more enticement, though breakfast isn't included. For less gilded decor but similar amenities (including a rooftop pool), the Metropark Hotel Causeway Bay Hong Kong is a good alternative, and it also includes views of Victoria Harbor.

The 427-room, upscale Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Sha Tin, is almost 30 minutes by car to central Hong Kong, adjacent to a major transportation hub. Nestled between a harbor and the mountains, this Hyatt is the center of an area with limited attractions. The business- and kid-friendly chain property -- which includes five bars and restaurants, an 82-foot outdoor pool, tennis courts, and multi-service spa -- straddles the turf between hotel and resort, but the decorating lacks a creative spark, making the hotel a bit generic. It's an excellent choice for a weekend away from the bustle that is Hong Kong proper or for visiting the nearby Chinese University of Hong Kong. Hyatt fans who want to be in metropolitan Hong Kong might consider the Hyatt Regency Tsim Sha Tsui, but they should expect to pay significantly more.

The 80-room Hotel Bonaparte by Rhombus is a two-and-a-half-pearl property situated between the Wan Chai neighborhood and bustling Causeway Bay. It's within walking distance of restaurants and shops, and close to the Causeway Bay MTR station. Hong Kong has its share of small hotel rooms, but rooms here are tiny. Most necessities are included, though, like flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and minibars, but Wi-Fi isn't free for most guests and hefty deposits are levied upon check-in. Guests who book directly with the hotel get free breakfast, and everyone receives a free smartphone (with deposit), but other features are scarce. Travelers who don't mind paying a little more could check out the nearby Cosmo Hotel Hong Kong, which has larger, more stylish rooms and a trendy bar.

The upscale InterContinental Grand Stanford has plenty to like for tourists and business guests. The highlights are the hotel's food and beverage outlets, which are crowded day and night, and include some nice surprises. The whiskey bar is one of the best-stocked in the city, and the Club Lounge is one of the more impressive that we've seen in town. Rooms are attractive and modern, if stylistically straightforward, and many have excellent views of Victoria Harbour or the Tsim Sha Tsui skyline. Expect free Wi-Fi and marble bathrooms as well as minibars and extensive closets. A small pool isn't the city's chicest, but the fitness center has just enough for a basic workout. For rates like these, it's also worth checking out the more design-conscious Hotel Icon as well.

The 665-room Cordis, Hong Kong is one of the most luxurious hotels in Hong Kong. While other four- and five-pearl hotels are largely concentrated along the water, the Cordis is part of a large shopping complex in central Mong Kok.

Technology includes flat-screen TVs, DVD players, iPod docks, free Wi-Fi, and free use of smartphone devices. Harbor views are limited, but the Cordis is still a popular choice for tourists and business travelers looking for an upscale hotel in a convenient location.

This basic three-pearl hotel is a decent option for travelers who want to be in a more local-feeling corner of neon-lit Causeway Bay. It has some of the lowest rates in the area, though you'll be dealing with some rather small floor plans. The 258 rooms are pleasant enough for travelers who plan to spend their days out exploring, though the hotel can feel a bit dark and drab overall. Its on-brand for Best Western, offering just the necessities, though the rooftop plunge pool is a nice surprise and mountain or city views are often stunning. That's especially true from the Sky Villas, which come with vertigo-inducing private terraces and jetted balcony tubs. If you'd like bigger, brighter rooms in the same part of town, check out the South Pacific Hotel instead.
