Dreams Do Come True

With its amazing themed rooms, a stay at this Hong Kong hotel feels like a holiday within a holiday,

There are hotels with rooms designed for children. And then there is Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel, that brings out the kid in every parent.

My eyes widened as I checked into its Safari themed family room with my four-year-old son.

Just look at that Jeep styled, king-size bed “parked” under a 3-D tree (pictured).

Instead of bedside tables and lamps, I found tree logs, old-fashioned suitcases and camping lanterns.

Elsewhere, pebble-styled cushions were strewn on the carpet grass and tessellated “pavement”. A plush antelope joined us, as did a zebra family that was grazing on the field and peering at us – from the wallpaper, that is.

I felt like I was transported back to my vacay in South Africa’s game reserve.

And I didn’t even have to share my cool Jeep bed with my son. He had his own tent bed, with a Cloud B Twilight Ladybug by his side. The constellation night light transformed our room into a starry night sky, completing the safari camp experience.

This is one of six themed family rooms launched last year by this hotel. The others are equally amazing.
