Accomodation Recommendations

Special offer:

Although there are literally hundreds of Hotels in Hong Kong, the organisers of The Dragon Run strongly advise paddlers visiting from overseas to stay in the Causeway Bay/Wan Chai area. These are major tourist areas and are close to many great restaurants, bars and shops.

The event website lists a few options (and there are many others), and in particular we'd like to confirm that we have worked out a discounted rate at the following three popular and well-known 4 star hotels in the Causeway Bay area:

  • The Excelsior HK$1,300 (plus 10%), Superior Room.
  • The Park Lane (HK$1,150 plus 10%), Superior Room
  • The new 5 Star Crowne Plaza by the Football Club, (HK$1,780 per night).

To get the discounted rate, all bookings must be coordinated by Andy Orr (aorr@imgworld.com). These hotels will require a credit card number in order to confirm a booking. Bookings are obviously subject to availability, so we would advise you to send us your room requests without delay.
