Getting there: Hong Kong Airlines flies from Auckland to Hong Kong 10 times a week. See hongkongai­rlines.com.

Staying there: Attitude on Granville is one of Hong Kong’s newest boutique hotels. Operated by the Soravit Hotels Group, it’s a 81-room trendy hotel decked out in the theme of Tsim Sha Tsui and old Hong Kong. The rooms are categorise­d into Urban, HKD$750 ($132) a night, Cosy, HKD$1000 ($176), Elite, HKD$1100 ($194), and Studio Suite, HKD$1450 ($250). Urban and Cosy are snug, offering a space up to 22 square metres, but still come with a generously sized bathroom and the option of having a double or twin beds. Elite and Studio Suite are more spacious, and also come with a lounge area. There are two places to dine and drink in the same building that are independen­t of the hotel. Yum Cha on the third floor offers traditiona­l dim sum with a modern twist. Urban Park on the fourth floor has a European menu and craft cocktails, but best of all, has a rooftop area to soak up the Hong Kong nightlife.

Being there: The Tsim Sha Tsui MTR stop is just around the corner and the Harbour City and Ocean Terminals, a 10-minute walk away. In the area is also the well-establishe­d K11 shopping centre.
