That list is for 5 star hotels; something that I hope that donor money is never put towards covering the cost of; regardlessofwho itis. But what is most interesting is at the bottom of the article you linked to was this: Also on CNN: Frugal nights: Decent, inexpensive hotels in Hong Kong http://travel.cnn.com/hong-kong/sleep/frugal-indulgence-nice-cheap-hotels-hong-kong-497905 The Tsim Sha Tsui area of Hong Kong around the university is packed jam of decent lodgings, that are a far sight cheaper than the $200 per night being budgeted for at the Regent.
