The iSelect Premier at iclub AMTD Sheung Wan Hotel, with its full bed, sounds ideal for a solo traveller or a couple who likes a clean, uncomplicated base. I'd choose it for a stay where the room is a comfortable reset between Central adventures.

The Central-Mid-Levels Escalators are one of those wonderfully distinctive Central experiences that make getting around feel like part of the adventure. From Jubilee Street, I'd take the ride slowly and enjoy the city unfolding around you.
