Transport options - From airport to hotel

What's the best way to get from the airport to my hotel in Hong Kong? A very frequently asked question.

There are a few ways, and how I decide depends mainly on (a) the location of my hotel and (b) the number of people travelling with me.

Iconic tram ride and bustling Causeway Bay

Despite having been to Hong Kong several times over the last ten years or so, I never got down to trying one of the city's earliest forms of transport - the electric tram - until this year. Affectionately called "ding ding", the tram is more than a century old, and is an economical mode of transport from the west to the east of Hong Kong Island, and back.
