Generally, there is no direct train or bus available. You can take Bus Line A21 from the airport to Man Ming Lane, Nathan Road and then transfer to Bus Line 112 to SOUTH PACIFIC HOTEL/South Pacific Hotel, Morrison Hill Road. The whole journey takes about 1.5 hours and costs HKD 46. When getting off the bus, you need to walk southwest about 350m to your hotel.

If taking train, you need to take Bus Line S56 first from the airport to Tung Chung Station, Then take Metro Tung Chung Line to Hong Kong Station and then transfer to Central Station to take Metro Island Line to Causeway Bay. Finally, get out of the Exit A and you can see your hotel.
