Fodor's "For many guests, a long list of amenities makes up for an isolated-from-action locale: most of the large, comfortable, contemporary rooms have harbor views."

"The 554-room Harbour Grand is slightly removed from the main attractions in Kowloon. However, many choose to stay here precisely because it isn't in the center of the hustle and bustle." Full review
Michelin Guide "This shimmering glass structure is right on the waterfront and offers superb views across Victoria Harbour."
Star Service "Although it is not in the thick of the action, this hotel is close enough to reach Hong Kong Island by Star Ferry (a pier is close by) or taxi within 20 minutes." Full review

From here, the views can be endless except on foggy days, and locals often choose to conduct informal business dealings over lunch.

Avoid rooms facing Canton Road, which can be noisy.
Fodor's "Spacious rooms with sweeping views of Hong Kong Island are near the shopping hub along Canton Road and linked to Harbour City's immense shopping complex."
Rough Guide "The Harbour City complex houses threedifferent hotels under the same Marco Polo umbrella. They’re all fairly fancy, and guests can use any hotel’s facilities."
Star Service "This is the best of the three Marco Polo hotels here, with the largest rooms and the only one with views of the harbor." Full review

Luckily, one floor of standard rooms was renovated, making them the choice units to request.
Star Service "The entrance is through a marble foyer, past a bland lounge, to a lobby scaled to a personable size, with two small but comfortable sitting areas. " Full review

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.

"Located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, the Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel is a good luxury choice for shopaholics given that it's attached to the Harbour City shopping complex, Hong Kong's largest." Full review
The Telegraph6.0
"For almost half a century, it's had a stellar view of Hong Kong island. Tourism has boomed but it's still ideally placed for sightseeing and shopping, with good restaurants." Full review

"Location is everything in Hong
Kong, and with its harbor-side perch along Canton Road in bustling Tsim Sha
Tsui, Marco Polo Hongkong puts you right in the heart of the action." Full review
