Sorry, I should have been more clear in my post. For my late arrival in HKG, I just need a room for 9 hours, then I am off to Dongguan by train, alone :rolleyes:

Most likely, I would take the HKIA train. I can't see myself spending $75 USD for a taxi.

I am just want to know what I am getting and I am ok with the Starwood brands. I feel like I get an extra value out of being a plat guest with free drinks, breakfast, HSIA, and upgrades. So even if I stay at local hotel for $100 a night, the breakfast, HSIA and drinks would equal out to what I am paying to stay at the :-:wood property

You will have more transit time to/from Cyberport, but it's not *THAT* much more than the Sheraton. The shuttle the Le Meridien does goes to/from the train station.

I said TST earlier, but meant to say Kowloon. You can take Airport Express to the Kowloon station and get the free shuttle to the Sheraton (or $15hkd taxi).

It is not free anymore. I think that is about $5 USD.

Please be informed you may take our Hotel Shuttle bus at Hong Kong Station in Central at HK$29 per person per trip. It is running every hour and first come first serve basis.

And by Sheraton standards, it's a win.

I guess I would be paying about $75 for a taxi from HKG to the hotel if I selected the LM. I have both the LM and Sheraton oh hold for now.

I'll figure out the closest airport express station to Le Meridien; it wouldn't be a $75 taxi. At that point, you'd maybe have a $5 USD taxi.

Are you checking or carrying on? If carrying on, possible to make the shuttle. Do you have a HK Frequent Traveler card?

The free drinks at the bar sounds like a great offer. You want to meet me at the LM on the 28th? :D:D

Does the Cyberport location have good views of Hong Kong?

By Taxi

From HK station, you can hire a taxi to the hotel. Taxi stands are located at exit of the station. Travel time between Central and Le Meridien Cyberport is about 15 - 20 minutes and costs around HK$60 to HK$80 per single trip.


Sorry, $10-$12 for a taxi. Did they tell you the last shuttle was at 11:30 from the airport (they have an hourly shuttle to/from the airport, guessing around $15-20 USD) but they also have a shuttle to/from Central.
