Some people may not find the entrance to the hotel very pleasant but as I said Excelsior hotel is too conveniently located and safety is never a problem.

Behind you is one of the biggest Japanese department store Sogo. Walk towards McDonald...

The building marks McDonald is the World Trade Centre (office + shops + restaurants) Notice Excelsior hotel's entrance way is in the middle of the picture. Walk through there...

This is Excelsior's entrance.

Outside the hotel entrance.

I won't call it a pleasant walk but it's a city hotel.  And it is very safe because there is always millions of shoppers around.

Opposite to the hotel entrance is the side entrance to World Trade Centre where you can dine or shop.

The lobby is quite spacious.  High ceiling helps a lot here.

Lobby again. I took this picture from the coffee shop on 2/F

Very large panorama of the lobby taken in 2008

There are several restaurants in the hotel but there are many more outside. Start with the ones in World Trade Centre. Go further to the Times Square where there are 4 floors of restaurants to choose from.

I go to the Excelsior's coffee shop sometimes after my shopping.

You may sit by the window to enjoy the harbour view or more commonly if you don't go for the buffet, you will be arranged to sit near the stairway which is away from the crowd that goes back and fro for their buffet food.

Lunch buffet at the coffee shop.

Italian restaurant of Excelsior. Set dinner is available which is convenient for budgeted office entertainment events but it's not very big inside.

The rooms in this picture has a harbour view.
