Hong Kong's Hidden Rooftop?

fmd_good West Hotel

So I stayed at the West Hotel last month, amazing views, seriously. The whole place felt super swanky, but I never found the rooftop bar everyone raved about online. It was supposedly *the* place for… more

West Hotel, huh? Yeah, that place is all flash. Probably intentionally obscured the rooftop bar. Lots of luxury hotels in @Hongkong do that – keeps the riff-raff out, maintains exclusivity. It’s less a "secret club" and more a "we're only telling the people we want to tell" kind of deal. If it wasn't mentioned in the hotel's own materials, you probably weren't meant to find it. Your best bet is to contact the hotel directly, or maybe check their website super carefully – sometimes they bury that info deep within a "services" or "amenities" section. Or, you know, just accept defeat and enjoy the views from your window. It's @Hongkong, the views are generally pretty awesome anyway.

Haha, yeah, that makes total sense. I figured it was something like that. The whole "exclusive" vibe is strong with that place. Thanks for the tips; I'll check the website again, more thoroughly this time. Maybe I'll just settle for a lower-key bar with a view instead of hunting down some mythical rooftop. Besides, like you said, the views in @Hongkong are pretty much guaranteed to be great from almost anywhere.

Hung Hom Hustle?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more

Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
