Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - Advice on CX transit hotel stay in HK?

Next month I will be in transit overnight in Hong Kong for the first time since the new airport opened. The stop is on a business class Cathay Pacific ticket. Does anyone know whether I should expect the airline to put me up?

If not, does the airport have a hotel, is it in the airport itself, and do you have any advice on whether to stay there and how to contact it? Any advice on where else to stay?

Thanks for any help.

The airport hotel at HKIA is internationally acclaimed, and I believe it is the top airport hotel if it hasn't been de-throned yet. The hotel has various packages suited for travellers as most other hotels.

Er, I just answered this question in the cross-post in the HK forum...

Since CLK opened, CX has been putting passengers who qualify for a night's transit accomodation at the Regal Airport hotel.

In the old Kai Tak days, there were a few options to choose from, but now, that's the only choice I'm afraid.

Where will you be flying in from and to? Most CX flights allow immediate through connection one way or another.. and if you decide to choose a flight that does not allow an immediate connection over a flight that does, CX will not pay for the overnight accomodation anymore.

Should you choose to stay in HK on your own accord, then the Airport hotel is not the best choice. As it is the only hotel in the airport areas, the room rates tend to be rather high even by HK standards. Then if you can spare the time... as I have done so even on an 8 hour transit, I'd rather take the train into Kowloon and stay at one of the hotels in Tsim Sha Tsui, and then return the next morning to the airport.

If you have checked luggage, you may check it all the way through to your final destination (as long as the connection is within 24 hours), and just take your bare essentials in your carry on to change at hotel etc.
