The rumor was that HK govt nixed the idea of a Pirates e-ticket because it offended some sensibilities that I couldn't quite understand...something to do with Hong Kong history? Would similar logic, if true, also stand in the way of Pirate themed hotel?

I agree that a fantasy-themed hotel would be more fun. But not sure how well it would sit between the Victorian and Deco hotels that are there.

As for the DTD, I think it's a good idea if there are enough hotel guests. Locals are most likely to catch the ferry or train for the long ride home.
