Guests have use of the outdoor pool and health club at The Marco Polo Hong Kong, but they may get lost in the Harbour City maze (ten minutes via covered walkway) trying to find them, although access to Harbour City is a plus for those who prefer to avoid minibar charges or wish to shop at all hours.
