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.

Seriously? That's awesome you found that! I've been to Lui Seng Chun a few times and never noticed a hidden door. My guess is it's either a ventilation shaft, some kind of old service access, or maybe even just a cleverly disguised structural element. It's probably not a secret passage to a speakeasy or anything, though that would be way cooler. Maybe try looking at old maps of the building online? That might give you some clues.
