Explore Hong Kong the OZO way

BANGKOK - No matter how long your visit to Hong Kong may be OZO Wesley Hong Kong aims to help you make the most out of your stay. In addition to offering visitors a great nights sleep, the hotel provides savvy travellers easy access to a tailor-made destination guide, sending each guest off energised and ready to explore the city.

On the go adventurers can easily connect with the hottest venues in town through the destination guides, presented by length of stay, from 24-hour, 48-hour or 72-hour, each lead to a new discovery of what to see, do and where to eat, shop and relax. Conveniently accessible through the interactive TVs in the guestrooms or information lecterns at the ‘SPOT’, the comprehensive guides are part of the OZO philosophy, forming an essential element in completing the visitor experience.

Located in the Wan Chai district, this once laid back fishing village has transformed into a bustling metropolis with a myriad of fascinating shops, restaurants, tea houses and night spots drawing an eclectic cosmopolitan crowd. Some ‘must-see’ attractions from the OZO Wesley city guide include The Pawn, a four-story Wan Chai building, a great example of a historical landmark thriving in this revived urban district. Listed as a heritage site, the building located on Johnston Road, is now a trendy restobar where guests can enjoy a beer while appreciating its history. Those wanting to step back in time can visit the Blue House on Stone Nullah Lane, one of the last remaining ‘Tong La’ commercial/resident shop houses built between the 19th century and 1960.

For those on a flying visit, the 24-hour guide highlights the essential ‘can’t-miss’ stops around the city; after taking selfies at The Peak, the city’s highest lookout point overlooking Hong Kong’s skyline, guests can head to the Tea Museum and LockCha Tea House for a mid-morning pick me up.

To round off the day, Lan Kwai Fong, the epicentre of Hong Kong’s nightlife is the perfect area to socialise with locals; try out Socialito, popular amongst the hip crowd, Quinary, for their gin based mixology or Salon 10, for their relaxing atmosphere. The 48 and 72-hours guides will take guests deeper into unearthing the hidden gems of the city, steering visitors to areas such as the Kow Loon district, where the first stop is at the Wong Tai Sin Temple; the largest shrine in Hong Kong, then on to the shopping streets of Mong Kok, where the bravest of travellers can try the local delicacy, fermented tofu, dubbed ‘stinky tofu’ at Chun Mei Mei on Nelson Street. For retail therapy, Causeway Bay is the ideal neighbourhood to shop for local designers and home grown Asian brands, while the night owls can head to APM mall, where shops open until midnight and restaurants run until the early hours in the morning. As the final stop, the guide suggests a visit to Big Bucket Foot Reflexology to help unwind and restore tired feet before heading back to OZO Wesley for slumber inducing hot-chocolate followed by much needed rest in the Snooze Zone.

Complementing the city guide are the ‘Vocal Locals’, where each member of the OZO team, an authority on a subject ranging from painting and cooking to fishing and cycling, can provide insider tips and personal recommendations on the most up-to-date happenings around the city. Whether visiting for the first time or on a returning trip, guests can count on upbeat knowledgeable staff and innovative tools for an authentic and ‘tweet-able’ OZO experience.
