Marco Polo Hongkong is third on 43, level with Hyatt Regency and Holiday Inn Golden Mile and ahead of both on the walk to Ocean Terminal. It sits inside Harbour City with Ocean Terminal, about 0.04 road miles from the berth on our routing — so for a ship at Ocean Terminal there is almost no ride to plan.
That score leans on Ocean Terminal. Kai Tak's own 2026-27 schedule carries every mainstream turnaround we found, and apart from StarCruises' Star Voyager this autumn, no page we read publishes Ocean Terminal's line-up.
For a Kai Tak sailing the hotel is 5.1 road miles and 12 minutes away — about HK$95 (about US$12) on the meter.
The hotel's FAQ gives check-in at 15:00, check-out at 12:00 and four ways in from the airport, led by a limousine from HK$930 (about US$120) a vehicle. Its page lists Cucina, Cafe Marco and a lobby lounge, fifteen room types and a Bed & Breakfast package. A plain rate isn't said to include breakfast, and Tsim Sha Tsui MTR is 10 minutes on foot — so it earns no MTR points.
Book it when your documents say Ocean Terminal — and ask the hotel what breakfast costs. For Kai Tak, start with Holiday Inn Express CBD2 instead.
Book it if
- Your ship docks at Ocean Terminal and you'd like to leave the bags in the room until the last minute
- Three restaurants and bars under one roof suit you
- A walk to the berth beats a taxi
Look elsewhere if
- Your ship sails from Kai Tak, 5.1 road miles away.
- A pool and check-in times must be confirmed before you book.
- Breakfast has to be in the rate.
Sail day when the berth is down the corridor
Sail day from the Canton Road complex, read for the case where the ship is at Ocean Terminal.
Cucina for Italian, Cafe Marco's international buffet and a lobby lounge. The page we read doesn't mention a pool or a gym.
Harbour City's page lists the terminal and the hotel in the same complex — so the berth is a short walk. For Kai Tak, plan a taxi of about 12 minutes — roughly HK$95 on the meter by our arithmetic.
Not included by default — the page sells a Bed & Breakfast package, and Continental Club suite guests get breakfast for two.
Ocean Terminal is about 0.04 road miles (0.1 km) off — Kai Tak is 5.1 (8.3 km), about 12 minutes. Your documents decide which of the two applies.
Inside Harbour City, and the airport options in print
By our routing the airport is about 19.9 road miles away, and Kai Tak about 5.1. Every question mark below is a ride you arrange yourself.
A hotel limousine from HK$930 a vehicle, booked in advance; a taxi at about HK$350 to 420 (about US$45–55); the Airport Express to Kowloon Station, about 25 minutes, then a taxi; or Citybus A21 or A25. All per the hotel's FAQ.
Hotel limousine
The page never mentions cruises. A ship at Ocean Terminal is a short walk away inside the same Harbour City complex. A ship at Kai Tak means a taxi of about 12 minutes — roughly HK$95 on our meter arithmetic.
Harbour City's own page lists Ocean Terminal and the three Marco Polo hotels in the same complex, and our two map pins are about 60 m apart. That's point to point, not door to gangway. Kai Tak is on the other side of Kowloon: about 5.1 road miles (8.3 km) and 12 minutes by our routing.
Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station is 10 minutes on foot per the hotel's own page. Harbour City's access page gives 5 minutes from Exit A1 to the complex, not to the hotel. That's past our 0.4-mile line, so no MTR ride is scored. For Kai Tak the terminal lists Citybus 20X, a new circular route from Tsim Sha Tsui that started 28 September 2026: HK$10.30 (about US$1), 06:00 to 23:00, every 20 to 30 minutes. Confirm the stop with Citybus.
Kai Tak is Citybus 20X from Tsim Sha Tsui, or about HK$95 by cab with the bags.

Source: marcopolohotels.comWhat the meter should read
About HK$95 to Kai TakWorking the government tariff through our routing gives about HK$95 to Kai Tak and about HK$30 (about US$4) to Ocean Terminal. Bags (HK$6 (about US$0.76) each), tolls and fees are extra.

Lockers at both terminalsWe couldn't find a bag-forwarding service from Marco Polo Hongkong to either terminal. At the berth end, lockers run HK$12 to HK$24 (about US$2–3) for four hours at Kai Tak and from HK$20 (about US$3) for two hours at Ocean Terminal. Holland America disagrees about Kai Tak.
