Fodor's Expert Review Pentahotel Kowloon
19 Luk Hop St., Kowloon, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Tucked away off a narrow street, Pentahotel is deceivingly large, with 32 floors and 695 rooms. At the entrance, there’s a pizza bar on the left, hipster-tastic Hong Kong–inspired murals on the right, and cultural knickknacks showcased throughout. A matrix of escalators carries you up to the first floor “pentalounge” reception, where two game rooms await, as well as the signature eatstreet@pentalounge restaurant, which puts a modern twist on the city’s traditional cha chaan teng diners, with local drinks and street-food dishes like “cart” noodles, milk tea, and egg waffles. The area is a bit out of the way, but it's close to a few tourist attractions, including the Kowloon Walled City Park, Chi Lin Nunnery, and Nan Lian Garden.
