Hotel Indigo is seventeenth on 26, fourth of five tied, ahead of Hyatt Centric on road distance to Kai Tak. At 138 rooms and suites it's the smallest room count we list — with a glass-bottom infinity pool on the top floor and no parking at all.
IHG gives Wan Chai MTR as a 5-minute walk. Kai Tak's own page lists no bus from Hong Kong Island — so that doesn't count toward the ride score.
Check-in is 14:00 and check-out 11:00. There's Indicolite Restaurant, Skybar and a 24-hour fitness room, and Wi-Fi is free.
Both terminals are across the harbour: 6.6 road miles to Kai Tak, 14 minutes by taxi, with a toll. Pick it for the pool and the size.

- A glass-bottom pool is the draw

About HK$115 to Kai TakOur meter arithmetic: about HK$115 to Kai Tak and HK$85 (about US$11) to Ocean Terminal — before bags at HK$6 (about US$0.76) each, tolls and the cross-harbour toll we haven't counted.

Lockers at both terminalsCases are your problem unless Hotel Indigo says otherwise. Lockers: HK$12 to HK$24 (about US$2–3) for four hours at Kai Tak, from HK$20 (about US$3) for two hours at Ocean Terminal. Holland America says Kai Tak has no storage, so double-check.
