Victoria Harbour is where I go when I need a proper Hong Kong moment. The wide promenade, passing boats, cool sea breeze and glowing skyline are wonderful at night, while photographers will have endless views to chase.

Dorsett Mongkok suits the kind of trip where you spend all day exploring and just want a comfortable room to come back to. The Comfort Queen or Twin setup works nicely for couples, friends or anyone who likes having a choice of bed arrangement.

The iPlus Twin Room makes iclub Mong Kok a practical, modern base for friends travelling together. I'd pick it when I want a tidy city room with a desk, walk-in shower and the possibility of a city or sea view.

The Flower Market is wonderfully atmospheric, with plant and flower shops packed along a narrow pedestrian stretch. It can feel crowded, but that is part of the fun - go ready to browse slowly and keep an eye out for unusual variegated plants.
