The Elegant Rhythm of the City's Pulse: The Excelsior Hotel

The Excelsior Hotel in Causeway Bay is a serene footnote in the rhythm of Hong Kong. Towering and steadfast, it stands between the bustling cityscape and the tranquil mountain views, offering both the lively energy of shopping streets and the peaceful vistas of Victoria Peak. From the room, overlooking the bustling streets below, I felt the pulse of the city while simultaneously experiencing a sense of detached calm. The hotel's design retains a touch of nostalgia, with wooden furniture and warm lighting that evoke a sense of comfort. On the night of my stay, I dined at the revolving restaurant atop the hotel, watching the nightfall unfold inch by inch, like a slow-moving celestial feast. The Excelsior may not be the most dazzling presence, but its understated and steady charm creates a gentle urban experience.
