Hong Kong is a fascinating East meets West city and is home to several great kosher restaurants and shuls. Mul Hayam restaurant, located next to the Kehilat Zion shul in the Kowloon section of Hong Kong, is excellent. The JCC located on Hong Kong Island has very good dairy and meat restaurants as well as an awesome Sunday night all you can eat buffet, just don’t forget to bring your passport to get in! Chabad of Lantau also offers meals with delivery options.
We spent a Shabbos with Chabad of Hong Kong Island during our round-the-world in 2010-2011. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was awesome. People have rave reviews about Shabbos at Chabad and Kehilat Zion in Kowloon as well.
After Shabbos we moved the W in Kowloon, which is one of my favorite SPG hotels in the world. We got an amazing upgrade and there’s a very cool rooftop infinity pool and hot tub. Plus the bellhop picked up our bags from our room and checked them straight home to Cleveland without us ever having to touch them thanks to the airport express station located in the W’s basement, though it seems like that feature is no longer offered for flights to the US.
There are lots of other great hotels where you can spend your points at as well. The Intercontinental Hong Kong and the Sheraton are popular among people staying in Kowloon near the shuls.
Most hotels even give you a free cell phone to use while in Hong Kong.
Americans do not need a visa to travel to Hong Kong or to take the ferry from Hong Kong to nearby Macau.

Yes.
Air Canada has some ~$2600 biz fares to HKG from various west coast cities selling into summer
