Gateway is sixth on 40, three points behind Marco Polo Hongkong and fifteen behind Prince. The pins say it's about 0.4 km from Ocean Terminal in a straight line — but our driving route is 0.8 miles through the one-way streets, so it misses our half-mile walk rule.
The hotel gives no walking time — so we haven't invented one. All three Marco Polo hotels in Harbour City print the same airport options in their FAQs: a limousine at HK$930 (about US$120) a vehicle, booked ahead, a taxi at HK$350 to HK$420 (about US$45–55), the Airport Express to Kowloon Station and then a taxi, or Citybus A21 or A25.
Dining is Three on Canton, all-day international on Level 3, and Be on Canton, an al fresco terrace. Check-in is 15:00, check-out 12:00. The page doesn't say whether breakfast is included or whether there's a pool.
Pick it for an Ocean Terminal sailing if a short taxi for the last stretch doesn't bother you. For Kai Tak it's 5.5 road miles and 12 minutes by taxi — so look at Holiday Inn Express CBD2 instead.
Book it if
- Ocean Terminal is your berth and you want the airport options in print
- A terrace for a last cocktail appeals
- You already know the Canton Road streets
Look elsewhere if
- Breakfast has to be confirmed first.
- Kai Tak is your terminal.
- A pool should be on the page.
40 of 94, with no walk points
The 40 is 25 for distance, 12 for the MTR and 3 for an evening, with no walk points: the routed 0.8 miles misses our half-mile rule — see how the Night-Before Score works.
Why 0.8 road miles isn't a walk

Gateway after Marco Polo
Next stops: terminals and lines in the cruise guide, the car question, and the splurge hotels, for a bed, not a bargain.
Wake up on Canton Road, a taxi of four minutes from Ocean Terminal or a walk if you know the route.
Your sail date starts the check on Gateway Hotel. It is a question, not a booking, and the form takes no payment.
Gateway, answered
Why does Gateway miss the walk score for Ocean Terminal?
Our rule is the hotel's own word or half a mile by our routing. The pins are about 0.4 km apart in a straight line, but the driving route is 0.8 miles through one-way streets, so it misses by our measure.
What does the airport limousine from Gateway cost?
HK$930 a vehicle, booked in advance, per the hotel's FAQ. It also prints a taxi at about HK$350 to 420.
Can I take a bus from the airport to Gateway?
The FAQ names Citybus A21 and A25 and the Airport Express to Kowloon Station, then a taxi. Langham's page prices A25 at HK$41 (about US$5) and A21 at HK$35 (about US$4); Gateway doesn't print fares.
When do I check in and out at Gateway?
Check-in from 15:00 and check-out at 12:00, per the hotel's FAQ.
What's to eat at Gateway Hotel?
Three on Canton, an all-day international restaurant on Level 3, and Be on Canton, an al fresco terrace serving cocktails and light bites.
