JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong

A staycation in the heart of Hong Kong island, in close proximity to the city’s premier shopping, entertainment and dining precincts makes the JW Marriott Hotel an excellent choice.

The iconic flagship of the Marriott International is located within the Pacific Place complex, making it an ideal launch pad to explore Hong Kong’s attractions with easy access to the MTR network, and many tourist spots only a short distance away. If you would rather relax and recharge, the hotel has more than 600 elegantly-designed guest rooms and suites, with guests having access to the hotel’s world-class restaurants, such as the Man Ho Chinese Restaurant, or The Lounge’s renowned afternoon tea.

1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plain flour
6 tablespoons cocoa or cacao
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt flakes
1 cup chocolate chips
1 Mars Bar, chopped
