Fodor's Expert Review Pacific Place

Once Hong Kong Island's classiest mall, Pacific Place remains popular with well-to-do residents—perhaps because it's quieter and more exclusive than most competitors. High-end international prêt-à-porter fills most of its four floors. When your bags are weighing you down, sandwiches, sushi, and Starbucks are on hand, as is a multiplex cinema. The JW Marriott, the Island Shangri-La, the Conrad, and the Upper House hotels are connected to this plaza, all with enticing afternoon tea options. Elevated walkways join Pacific Place with four arcades: the Admiralty Centre, United Centre, Queensway Plaza, and fashion-forward Lab Concept.
