It is only apt that this boutique arm of hotel kingpin JW Marriott is able to consistently maintain a high standard of quality and service - while keeping prices relatively low. Hip but wonderfully laid-back, the Courtyard is best suited for the trendy younger (or young at heart) set desiring a breather from dollar-driven Hong Kong Island's flurry of activity. Its prime location on a quiet corner of Kowloon's Connaught Road West renders it easily accessible to popular areas such as Nathan Road and Mongkok - perfect for taking in the sights and sounds of the city a step at a time.

In line with its refreshing low-key ambience, rooms are kept simply but tastefully furnished, with classic black-and-white contrasts jazzed up by technologically sophisticated features (including rainforest shower heads) and generous, breathtaking sea views. Even communal areas such as the gym, the Momo Cafe, and guest lounge are kept small and intimate, a trait we highly recommend to those who seek to spend as much time pampering themselves within the hotel as they do traipsing through tourist spots.

Price Range: HKD950 per night for a Standard Guest Room (with king-sized bed) / HKD2,450 per night for a One Bedroom Suite (with executive lounge access)

Draw Factor: This hotel is both chic and affordable. Who says you can't have both?
