FOR THE executive traveller staying at Hongkong's best hotels, there are plenty of bargains to be had, even though the hotels are not suffering a shortage of business.

To attract the high-spending businessman, the leading hotels are generally prepared to offer special incentives which can work out very much to the benefit of their expense account.

The JW Marriott has launched a new ''Rates of Exchange'' programme, which allows guests to move up one room category, while paying the lower room rate.

The hotel's marketing director, Kent Maury, said if a guest booked and paid for a daily rate of, for example, $1,750 for a mountain-view room, that room would automatically be exchanged for an executive floor mountain view, valued at $2,050.

Extra attractions include round-trip limousine transfers, daily breakfast, late check-out, and up to two suits dry-cleaned during the guest's stay.

''We are off to a great start in 1993 and, as the industry and the economic environment maintain positive growth, we will continue to look after the long-term prospects and interests of our clients,'' he said.
