The grand floor of the Pacific Place has cinemas and restaurants. There are three 5 star hotels, Conrad International Hong Kong Hotel, JW Marriott Hotel and Island Shangri-La Hong Kong Hotel are located in this complex. http://www.pacificplace.com.hk/shopping/shopdir/directory_index.html

Causeway Bay
The rapidly gentrifying, pedestrian-friendly Causeway Bay district—about a ten-minute drive from Central—is Hong Kong's answer to New York's Nolita or London's East End.
Masses of shoppers converge here for the mix of high-end and indie fashion boutiques, grunge-glam department stores, and street food vendors.
The massive Sogo department store is hard to miss if you arrive at the Causeway Bay subway station; it's worth a browse, although it stocks merchandise widely available in the U.S. 555 Hennessy Rd.
Just a few minutes away, the boutiques of Paterson Street have hard-to-find Japanese clothing labels such as Tsumori Chisato and Vert Dense.
Some 160 shops sell trendy clothes in the four-floor Island Beverly Center mall (1 Great George St.; 852-2890-6823). Nearby mega store Muji has a seemingly endless array of well-designed (and well-priced) sportswear, Japanese stationery, and household items from luggage to bath products: Lee Theatre Plaza, 99 Percival St. Concierge.com
