Holiday Inn Express HONG KONG SOHO

Scene

Upscale, eco-friendly chain hotel

The Holiday Inn Express HONG KONG SOHO is a 38-floor property that is particularly vibrant and stylish for the chain. Guests may be surprised at the attention to art and design throughout the common areas and the rooms. This hotel was renovated in early 2012, and is best known for its award-winning eco-friendly elements. It operates under the IHG Green Engage System, which monitors the day-to-day environmental impact of the property. The hotel’s lobby is extremely bright and airy with high ceilings, a few couches to relax on, and some bold, striking art. There are free brochures and newspapers and pushcarts can help guests bring luggage to their rooms. The hotel has a sleek, upscale feel and attracts many business travelers with its meeting spaces.
