Usually for a business trip I don’t care about the hotel ; I book the closest one from the place I have to go and that’s it. Well, I was very lucky that the W Taipei was the nearest one because it rises directly my TOP 3 for all worldwide hotels I ever stayed in ! Simply incredible, from the…
For my business trip in Hong-Kong I simply chose an hotel close to my office at Time Square ; Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Causeway Bay is in the town center of HK and more precisely in the shopping/business district.

Staying at the Peninsula Bangkok after à 12-hour flight from Paris is always delightful.
