I just called Vivien Chou ( I hope I write her name right), she told me that: a. Official hotel is under nogotiation and we will know within 2 weeks. b. Tickets will be available after November...she mentioned it could be first week of November...
hmmm another high quality posts by Huang... thanks bro.. that news is very useful for anyone who wants to come and watch hongkong open 2007
Thanks, huangkwokhau. Now some letters are available at HKBA Web. http://www.hkbadmintonassn.org.hk/eng/index.htm It says the venues are Ma On Shan Sports Centre (QR only) and Queen Elizabeth Stadium.
Hopefully...she told me will be first week fo November...or can be 2 weeks before the tournament starts...
Official hotels: Cosmopolitan and charterhouse ( both are in causeway bay area) They are not 5 stars hotel, merely 3 or 4 stars only. Cosmopolitan is not far away from my Aberdeen office, close to Happy Valley...may be some players can watch Horse racing on Wednesday....hm.. The room is not that big...I guess organizer can not get bigger hotel to accomodate the players.... Whoever wants to HKG, may be it is better not to stay at official hotels...
Yep!! Cosmopolitan hotel is just across the street from QE stadium. I saw it being repaired or painted, for sure some works are being done now.... Actually Cosmo hotel , 2 doors down from Cosmopolitan ( same group) is better and like boutique hotel...but the decoration inside is like WOW!! so colourful...hope players do not get dizzy!!
