National Hotel, IL 12A [????-????]

Jill writes:

In 1859 the National Hotel appears to consist of three tenements “on I.L. 12 A west of Aberdeen Street”, also given in another item as “I.L. 12 A, Queen’s Road.”

An 1856 map (Plate 3-1c, Mapping Hong Kong) shows Inland Lot 12A is the block of land between Queen's Road and Wellington Street, to the west of the Aberdeen Street steps, shown by the marker above.

Hong Kong - The Peninsula

Original text:

My brother David and I stayed in the Peninsula Hotel during our week in Hong Kong. The hotel is in Kowloon, on the mainland side. Our room was on the side closest to the camera. It might have been on the fifth floor, closer to the front (left) than the back. We could see some of the harbor from our room.
