Where to stay in Leighton Hill
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Leighton Hill is an address rather than a hotel quarter, so the choice falls to the two districts it sits between. Causeway Bay lies on one side of the slope, close enough that a walk down to Leighton Road and on into its streets takes only minutes, and it carries the room supply the hill itself does not. Happy Valley is the quieter side.
Its streets run within reach of the Wong Nai Chung Sports Centre, one of the public halls the record files against this ground.
