Hi,

If you look, you'll find an info card on the hotel web page, with a map and 
names written in english and chinese.

It is always good to have a map, in case the driver doesn't know the place 
based on the address.

Also, if you want to go somewhere from to hotel, my experience is that the 
hotel staff is always very willing and helpful to write down the name of the 
place where you want to go in chinese, and/or even explain to the taxi driver 
where you want to go.

Regards,

Christer
