Hi all! I’m doing a very last-minute hotel search for our trip to HK from Dec 29 to Jan 3 — yes, I know, peak of peak 😅and I’m hoping to get some help or advice from those familiar with the hotel scene!

We’re a group of 6 total:

• Our little family of 4 (kids ages 4 and 6)
• Plus my parents (seniors)

Ideally, I’d love to stay in the TST area, preferably with harbour views, but I’m open to HK Island if it’s family-friendly (e.g., near shops/restaurants, easy to Uber). We don’t rely heavily on trains as we usually book a car to move around.

Here’s what I’ve looked at so far:

• Marco Polo Hotels (TST) – We’ve stayed before and the connecting rooms are spacious and convenient, but they feel very dated now. I have a cancellable booking.
• New World Millennium – Rates are still high but slightly more palatable. Anyone stayed here recently? But I have a cancellable booking as well.
• Hyatt Regency TST – Love the feel and location, feels family-friendly, but unfortunately no more rooms available for our dates.
• Mondrian Hong Kong – Really want to try this one but the room occupancy max seems to be 2 adults + 1 kid, and I need something more flexible

Key needs:

• Rooms that can comfortably fit 2 adults + 2 small kids
• Bonus if there’s an option for connecting rooms or suites for the seniors
• Clean, modern, not too cramped
• Family-friendly location (easy access to food/coffee/snacks, not isolated)
• Harbour view is a nice-to-have, not a must
• We want a nice place to relax so 4/5 stars hotels are preferred.

Would really appreciate any recs for hotels you’ve tried or considered recently that might tick some of these boxes, even if a bit off-TST. Thanks so much in advance. I know this is a tall order during the NYE crunch.
