What’s the closest shul walking distance to the airport express train line? Anywhere to eat breakfast?

There are many free shuttles leaving every few minutes from airport express lines to the hotels and vice Versa. Take the airport express to Kowloon take the #3 shuttle to the shangrila and its next door to KZ which has 100 hkd all you can eat breakfast. Fantastic shakshuka

Shachris and breakfast at KZ. Ferry, then Peak Tram railway up to Victoria Peak. Taxi down. Lunch at JCC. If you have Visa for Mainland China, consider 45 minute subway ride from KZ to Shenzhen Luohu Shopping Center for great bargains on brand name items.

Sorry if this has been discussed before here, please link me to relevant parts of the thread if so.

Assuming I want to eat Shabbos meals by one of the two Chabads, should I stay by Chabad of Kowloon or Chabad of HK downtown (avtzon) We do not want to do a lot of walking in HK (its more like hiking)

Also which good hotels are shabbos friendly primarily in the sense that I can stay on a low floor?

Thanks

We liked Chabad of HKI. No idea who's in Kowloon these days, seems like a revolving door.

This is right across the street from Chabad:

Shabbos in Kowloon is nicer, the view and the overall feeling.
Meals can be had on either side.
Hotels on Kowloon side are nicer for shabbos in my opinion

While I didn't attend Chabad on either side
I wouldn't do HKI "AREA" again for shabbos too dry.
it's like being in Wallstreet on a saturday
dead and dry

No but I've been to HKI for Shabbos

I compared hotels and area.

Then it's a silly thing to say.
Chabad of HKI was great on the shabbos we were there. Lots of fascinating local businessmen to shmooze with. Great food and drinks. Inspirational farbrengens. Nearby parks to stroll through.
What else do you need on Shabbos?

Your opinion.....
If you just want a shabbos meal than maybe
If you want a hotel, and area as well then I feel Kowloon is nicer.
Nice meals can be had on both sides
