Doug,
I'm looking for a post PANDA hotel also and the rates at The Harbour Plaza are amazing (like less than half of the Peninsula or Intercontinental). Is it really in an OK location? I'd love a copy of your travelog! My e-mail is in my profile.
I noticed the same chain manages the Kowloon Hotel which is right behind the Pen. Does anyone know anything about it? It has some great rates for harbour view rooms too.
