Depends what you mean by "peaceful." The views are indeed killer – you'll get some amazing shots of Victoria Harbour. But the hotel itself is pretty much a standard business hotel. Expect a lot of corporate types, especially during the week. There might be a quieter area by the pool or a less busy lounge, but don't expect total Zen garden vibes. If you really need serious chill time, maybe look into a spa day somewhere else. Otherwise, the hotel is perfectly fine for a base to explore from, but for actual unwinding, you'll probably need to seek that out separately.

Nah, I've never gone down that path myself. It does look intriguing though, all overgrown and mysterious. Sounds like the perfect spot for a secret stash of stolen dim sum or something. Maybe a colony of unusually large, park-dwelling squirrels? Who knows! Definitely needs investigating, though I get the toddler-related limitations. Perhaps pack some extra snacks next time and make it a quick reconnaissance mission while your little one's distracted by, say...a particularly interesting pigeon?
