The Mira Hotel Review Part 3


Okay! So this would be the last part of The Mira hotel review.
I would like to highlight one of their interior design which is very essential for our daily living- the bathroom!

Can you base it on the picture why? It's transparent! The whole shower room is made out of glass.
When you take off your clothes and take a bath it's gonna be a live show! Just kidding =p
I love the concept because it makes the room look spacious especially if the room is quite small. It looks so borderless, right? I've always wanted to try living in a house without walls dividing the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen etc.
We just booked a single king or queen size bed for a family of five because all the other bigger room and more bed are fully booked.
It's pretty cramped but we all love the bathroom.


There's my brother inside the bathroom and I'm standing beside the bed


See the bedside lamp? So cool right? I want one of those!


Don't fret for those who want a lil privacy, there is a pair of automatic venetian blinds to the rescue!
But of course you'll still feel a bit uneasy if you'll notice you can peek on the corner of the shower room so just turn the water temperature up and let the steam cloud another layer of shield for you.


Here's the view inside the bathroom
The bed is quite messy and the bags are all out because we're leaving that day.


The automatic venetian blinds to the rescue! It's going down... Down... Down...


Here's the control panel
The mood buttons are for the lights
Open and Close are meant for the venetian blinds if you want it open or close
Up and Down are the buttons for pulling the blinds up or down


That's my youngest brother, he's going to pee but we were teasing him not to pull the blinds down =p haha!


Here's another thing I love. The disc shape is a Sony Vaio CPU and there's a wireless keyboard.
You see, this hasn't reached our shores yet but please oh please that's such a great computer! Aesthetically pleasing too and it looks so clutter free, right? The monitor is their flat screen TV so it's an enjoyable experience surfing over the net; you just need to press some button from the TV remote control so it would automatically turn the CPU on and let you surf. The Sony Vaio performs very well and it doesn't lag which is great.

The Mira's internet service is complimentary so you don't need to worry paying for it. My father was very worried haha! =p

The Mira Hotel Review Part 2


In every travel, hotel plays an important role to make our experience more memorable, I believe.
Here are more photos I snapped with my camera phone during day time.


It's pretty dark inside so sometimes it feels like night time unless you turn around and see the faint day light seeping through the tinted glass.
The entrance seems canted, right?


Can I take home the reindeer? ^.^ Just kidding...



See? The color changed, last night it was purple.
The photo seems canted, I'm standing near the entrance and if you'll stand where I was standing you'll notice that their floor is also canted.


Luggage counter where you can ask the hotel staff to take care of your luggage while waiting for your check in time.


Why do they get these things? I love 'em!


This purple reindeer who seems to love accessories is located beside the check in counter


Another thing I wish I could take home with me: this giant lamp in the hotel cafe, Coco is the name if my memory serves me right


The entrance to the hotel restaurant, I haven't eaten in here we're eating local Hong Kong food everyday

I have another post on The Mira featuring the bedroom and the bathroom which was a big surprise for me.

The Mira Hotel Review Part 1



Woot woot! Maquillage Lover first started doing make up reviews, then we had a bit of food reviews and now we're doing hotel reviews!

Hopefully we'll be doing more hotel reviews when I get the opportunity to travel again, but for now let's all take in Mira Hotel in Hong Kong ^.^

For Part 1 I'll post how the hotel looks like at night time, it's very very pretty, very Anna Sui hihi!
The Mira looks most beautiful at night.
I'll post how the hotel looks like at day time because it looks quite different during day time but pretty nonetheless.

The Mira is located in Nathan Road corner Kimberly Road in Tsim Sha Tsui
For more information you can check The Mira's website.


First on our 'tour' is the outsides of Mira Hotel!
It's pretty late at night in Hong Kong but the sky is quite bright in my opinion, it's always like that whenever I visit Hong Kong and I can't see the stars =( Aw... But that's okay, here in the Philippines the sky is pretty dark so we could see the stars faintly twinkling despite the thick air pollution.
The Mira is not so tall but it just looks tall on the photo =p


Let's take a closer look at the cute Christmas decorations The Mira has put out, I love the motif
There's a lot more of these reindeer inside the hotel.


This is the view when you go inside the hotel, the post changes color!
The ceilings is black which creates a sophisticated mood.


When the friendly hotel staff opens the door for you, look at the contemporary wavy design at the lobby and let it all sink in
Then, don't forget to look up! You'll see this pretty awesome ceiling.

The staffs are very friendly and they can speak good English so communication wouldn't be such a bother for travelers. But of course if you can speak the local language or basic Mandarin it would help a lot and we could avoid misunderstandings.

Good for us and the staffs my father can speak Cantonese so talking to them is a breeze!
Most of the staffs are smiling and they will greet you even when they see you simply walking down the hallway; this is a great improvement for the Hong Kong tourism industry.


See the wavy walls? Awesome! It looks so pretty angled this way,
Just don't look at it when you're directly in front of the wall...


The Mira's bar, I don't drink so I didn't bother going in but I love their interior design as well.
See the sheer thing that looks like a blanket? It's made out of steel rings.


I am seated in their lounge area where guests can take a time off from walking and shopping.
They change their centerpiece once in a while, now they've placed lit floating candles inside fishbowls of various sizes.

This is it for now, the next post will be The Mira's day time look.
Now, it looks so Anna Sui right? ^.^
Oh I forgot to include, there IS an Anna Sui boutique just across The Mira, it's located inside The Miramar Shopping Center
