Looking for New Victoria Hotel At Queen's Road Central

Hi Everyone,
I am doing a special research on old hotels in Hong Kong, in particular,
the old Victoria Hotel (New Victoria Hotel) which existed in 1888 till the early 1900s
until the building collapsed in 1902(????). In 1898, the New Victoria Hotel had an
address at 9 Queen's Road Central. My question is, with several street renumbering
since that time, where do you think "#9 Queen's Road Central" is located today at QRC?
Thank you for your help. Cheers!
Ricky

New Victoria Hotel
I remember the last Victoria Hotel from the early 1960s and have assumed it was built on the same site as the old Victoria Hotel. It was on the east side of one of the several side lanes and may have been the same one that was occupied by the Parisian Grill until it closed in c.1970. I do not know how these nameless pedestrian alleys/lanes were numbered but it makes sense that they would have had a Queens Road Central address
