I'm a packrat-I save useless ephemera from long-ago trips. In dredging up my memories of my '72 HK trip, I found this card. When I got to the airport, I had no idea where I was going to stay, and the cabdriver took me here. It actually turned out to be a rather pleasant place-certainly not fancy, but more that adequate for me. In looking at Streetview, It looks to still be there, if under the name "Princess". This seems to be one of the very few places in HK that are more or less the same as they were in 1972 when I was there.

Kowloon Club / Kowloon Hotel (2nd location) [????-????]

A 1901 Map (UK National Archive ref: CO 700-Hong Kong and China22) shows Kowloon Hotel on Elgin Road (today's Haiphong Road), roughly where the junction of Hankow Road is today. The lot is shown as IL 410.

This entry in the Government Gazette shows it was previously called the Kowloon Club, but became the Kowloon Hotel in late 1893 / early 1894:

This was one of the places that civilians were interred in early 1942, before they were moved to the Stanley Camp. I've made a guess at its location on Des Voeux Road based on the notes below, but if you know the address please leave a comment below.
