Central is the heart of the Island with some of the most expensive land in the world.
These two roads are both a no-car zone shopper's paradise, parallel to each other between Queen's Road Central and Des Voeux Road, so jam-packed with stalls and shops that the temptation of "come and get me" is hard to resist.
The steps are the special feature of this road; the first part of the road when turning from Queen's Road Central has been re-laid with concrete steps, but the upper part of the path still has the traditional old-fashioned stone slabs.

 Hong Kong: Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong - Traveler Reviews - Feels Like Staying With An Old Friend - TripAdvisor
The "real" Hong Kong can be seen by walking down Des Voeux Road or Queen's Road in Central, not Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui.
If you are going for business and has to stay in Central, the Ritz will be better (and check out the 4-season when it opens, which meant to have amazing view).
Although this can be quite noisy (from inside the room) and frenetic, and attracts strange stragglers in the lobby late in the evening, I think the one pro of the hotel is it's location.
