General Information
New!

As an international travel destination Hong Kong has a wealth of hotels and accommodation options, however the campus of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is a little distant from the majority of tourist hotels downtown Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.

Since campus accommodations in early December are very restricted, our recommendation to the majority of conference delegates are the two nearby hotels Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn Express located in nearby Tseung Kwan O.

Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Kowloon East

This is a new (2012) 5-star hotel located near the campus. The hotel is about a 45 minute taxi drive from the Hong Kong International airport, (about HK$300 or US$35) or can be reached directly from the MTR subway system to the Tseung Kwan O MTR subway station. A view of a superior room in the Crowne Plaza is shown below. For further details visit the website.

The following special rates have been negotiated for AsCA13 delegates:

Room Rates: Room Type: Superior Room (max. 2 persons)

Special Benefits for Conference Delegates

Holiday Inn Express Hong Kong Kowloon East

Standard Room (210 sq.ft.) from HK$880+10% with free Internet and daily simple set breakfast for up to 2 persons

The Holiday Inn Express is located adjacent to the Crowne Plaza and operated by the same management. Once again it is a new hotel that opened in mid-2012. Though nominally 3* the HIE offers an excellent cheaper accommodation package, especially for two persons sharing twin room. Again it can be conveniently reached from the airport by taxi or using the MTR subway system to Tseung Kwan O station. The room rate including service charge is about US$135 for two persons or about 105Euros per night.

For further details about the Holiday Inn Express please visit the website.
