25, Kimberley Road.

This was on the north side of Kimberley Road, next to the old Miramar Hotel.

Recently we've seen a few mentions of this hotel around late 1930's/early 1940's.

Interesting to see the building on the site today is named "Ocean View Court" in English, but may well be using the same Chinese name as the old hotel.

23-25 Nathan Road

Mark's map shows this on Nathan Road between Peking and Middle Roads. 

Here's what we know about it so far. Adam first:

The hotel next to the Kowloon Hotel looks like the Chardhaven Hotel. A place by this name is mentioned on page 3 of the China Mail, Apr 8, 1940, but no location is given.

Current marker location is not accurate - who can tell us where this lot was?  And how was he able to build a hotel on a Garden Lot ?

Actually the Stag Hotel crops up a few times in my book (pages 44, 55, 76 and 91).

The owner from 1878 was Jesse Cook, who took it over from old Soldier John Robinson White, a veteran of the Crimean War and Indian Mutiny, who went bankrupt that year. Cook renovated it and raised a family there through the 1880s, when it became a popular venue for international billiards tournaments.
