well you are in luck with alternatives to hotels to thr ritz........recently opened thus brand new !! is the SWISSOTEL grand half block (?) from the ritz ..onnly trouble is that not al facilities are opened .

a smaller outique "property is the URBN (sic) hotel 10 mins walk fro SWISSOTEL which is new and cosy. ..has an eco theme .

The PULI diagonally across from the RITZ - behind the Kerry centre will also open within the year ..

that would bring SH hotels pretty much up to date ...safe for the HYATT BUND which is much further away near hong kou.
