VHHH/HKG - Hong Kong - Four Points Tung Chung - September 2026

I stayed at the four points in Tung Chung, there is one shuttle bus an hour departing at xx:15 from the airport at xx:45 from the hotel, it departs from Ground Floor of arrivals hall B near Car park 1 bays 11-14 and runs from 06:45 to 23:15. I was allocated room 2111 which gives a great, but slightly distant, view of the airport and nothing will be missed unless the visibility is down. To get the view you need to book an Ocean view room and at check in ask for an airport view and they seem to know what you want. The hotel is 21 floors high and odd numbered rooms xx:01-xx35 with the best rooms being in the mid to low numbered range. Having looked for a couple of alternative hotels to the regal in HKG since the skybridge opened I think the four points is my new favourite and certainly where I will pick in the future. As a last point on HKG all arrivals are on the new offshore runway with the majority of departures being on the runway closest to the Cargo terminal but be careful a few sneak out on the middle runway.

With clear weather SZX moves can be seen along with a occasional OTT for Macau. The more expensive Sheraton next door has a rooftop bar/restaurant/terrace .. the Sunset Grill. Same expansive views as from room with fresh air and beer at £9 a pint! Hotel also has a shuttle to Tung Chung MTR .. used this to connect to HAECO bus round to view the biz. Ever more frustrating with ramps packed and new fencing getting higher but a good few logged. Walked back from hangars to biz terminal for another peek then called an Uber to bring me direct to hotel.

VHHH/HKG - Hong Kong - Regala sky city hotel - October 2025

NOTE this is not the Regal Airport Hotel.

I stayed here for one night arriving at 2300 …. Despite asking on my reservation and at reception they said no rooms have any airport view.  I think the reception just couldn’t be bothered to accommodate …..  The hotel is a circle style with inward and outward facing windows. I saw the top floor marked sky garden so I headed up there as soon as I woke up.  The open area is accessed by a stair case adjacent to room 12111 and is open 0800-2200.  Again , no power sockets , facilities and very little shelter.  This was approx £65 per night …… the rooms are very small ….. they also come with no fridge, but have good aircon.  .  The opportunity to be outside , and also to see Schenzen in the distance , made up for the lack of reception help.  There are some plastic tables / chairs on the roof so I moved these into the part shaded area which worked fine.    The hotel has microwave snacks / meals and a full restaurant service.    The bus to the hotel runs from bays 9-12 in the T 2 bus station area.

VHHH/HKG - Hong Kong - Novotel Citygate - May 2024.

I stayed at the Novotel Citygate in room 1727, you need to ask for an airport view.  It’s a very nice hotel and a buffet breakfast is included in the room rate of £120 per night.  Take a ziplock bag or a Tupperware to breakfast and fill up with pastries for lunch.  In the evening, there is a plethora of dining establishments within a short walk.  Western style eateries include McDonalds, Pizza Express and Outback.  Look online for Citygate Outlet Tung Chung, you can do some shopping too if you want. Views for spotting aren’t the best but I’d say they are adequate as you can see both arrivals and departures even when they change ends which is twice a day.  Arrivals are on 07L/25R.  When on 25R, you need to see them through the construction work or one of the 2 gaps in the buildings where you can actually see them on the runway.  Doesn’t always work if they turn off short.  I used a mix of FR24, SBS with Aerodata and ADS-B Exchange.  You’ll need to be on the ball as the distant runway can be a challenge. 

Note the new runway has opened since this report.
