Shanghai beats Hong Kong hotels on Travel and Leisure top 500 list

Eight Hong Kong hotels made it onto T+L 500 World's Best Hotels 2010. Shanghai got 10 hotels onto the list. We Hong Kongers feel kinda dissed, but we know that the hype around everything related to Shanghai tourism probably has to do with the World Expo in Shanghai this year, so we'll let them have their moment in the spotlight. Only until October 31, that is (expo end date). After that, we want more attention to be paid on the impressive leading hotels in Hong Kong. Such as boutique hotels like The Upper House. In fact, not a single boutique Hong Kong hotel made it onto the list. It's hard to compete with the (predictable) list of big brandname Hong Kong hotels:

1. Island Shangri-La
2. The Peninsula
3. Four Seasons Hotel
4. Kowloon Shangri-La
5. Conrad
6. Mandarin Oriental
7. InterContinental
8. Grand Hyatt
