Looking for up-to-date information, please, I need to give recommendations to friends who will be in HKG in December.
Causeway Bay is about the best area for short-term visitors, I reckon. I thought that either the Excelsior, Park Lane, or maybe the Regal would be good tips?
Does anybody have any suggestions, please?

My friend often stayed at the Excelsior and I have seen some of the rooms. Nice and clean. Tasteful decor. Good location.

The Regal I feel is a bit inconveniently located, its in a weird part of causeway bay. Both the Park Lane and The Excelsior are good hotels, and in good locations, its a bit of a toss up between both, I would tilt towards The Excelsior though, its got the dickens bar and a seven eleven right across from it, so no excuses for caning the minibar!!!

Thanks, people. I have very fond memories of the Dickens Bar, going back to the seventies.

Still pretty good for watching the football or formula one imho

Regal is looking old, although to thier credit, they have built some new rooms on the higher floors.
These new rooms have glass walled bathrooms. I don't care how close you are to your partner, there are sometimes that I need a little privacy.

I remember a friend staying at the Excelsior and the room was TINY so better get them to check how many square feet the room is first.

Thanks again for all the useful replies. Yes, Hong Kong hotel room sizes are a crucial factor in making decisions about where to stay. A friend stayed at the Kowloon Hotel a few years ago, and the double bed took up virtually all the available space in the bedroom.
I yearn for the days of the old Lee Gardens Hotel, what a great place that was, big rooms and wonderful service.

Yeah that was a great hotel, really dont like that gawdy shooping centre and office block that is in its place.
