Finding Peace at West Hotel?
So, I'm planning a solo trip to Hong Kong next month and booked the West Hotel because of the reviews. Everyone raves about the view, but I'm a terrible sleeper. My question is: how soundproof are th… more
Depends on which room you booked, really. West Hotel is pretty big. Some rooms are definitely quieter than others. If you're a light sleeper, emailing the hotel directly before you arrive and specifying your need for a quiet room might be your best bet. They might be able to give you a room away from the street or elevators. Worth a shot! Also, earplugs are your friend... seriously. I've slept through a typhoon with those things. And yeah, that rooftop bar... amazing. Enjoy Hong Kong!
Good point about the room! I hadn't thought of that. I'm a pretty light sleeper, so emailing them is a great idea. Thanks for the earplug tip too – typhoon-proof sleep sounds pretty appealing right now. And yes, the rooftop bar is one of the reasons I booked it, I'm so excited! Thanks again for the advice.

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask.

Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.
