Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott Pool
The pool at the Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott is amazing! You can always judge a hotels attention to style by how it’s pool is designed. When Jenn and I go for a relaxing weekend the pool is our main factor. Does it have a bar? Is it indoors in cold weather areas? Do they have some sort of fun gimick? Well this pool just looks classy as hell. I hope that there is a bit of time where Jenn and I can relax in the pool before retiring to bed one night. The remainder of the hotel looks to be all business class. It will be nice to stay in such a refined location for our first few nights. We normally go between the more locally based Courtyard or Springhill Suites for our stays since it is more economical. However for this this stay we used our Marriott rewards points and got this excellent hotel for free! I would like to thank all our friends and family who stayed at a Marriott down here during our wedding, you helped to contribute to our rewards points with each night stay.
The upside to the hotel, free…. the downside, it is far from the heart of Hong Kong, especially the Kowloon district. That means that we will have to find some sort of transportation to and from the hotel each day. It can get costly but I feel that we will find something that won’t break the bank. The hotel will be so close to the airport we could walk to the terminals, which is good for our flight from Hong Kong to Tokyo.
This just in, while looking for more photos of the hotel on the arriott website I have found out there is free shuttle service to the nearest MTR (metro/subway) station & Disneyland! How awesome is that?!? I just saved us some $60 USD on fare to and from the hotel and our outlying areas! I need to write more blogs it seems. 🙂
If you have been to Hong Kong before, please write a comment and suggest your favorite place to visit. I will read them and comment myself on our thoughts and prospective sights we will see.
