I've spent a lot of odd days in HK over the years. as above for the hotels, stay central, either Central on the island or Tsim Sha Tsui. Both are good for shopping.
Things you must do:
Star Ferry.
Get the bus (not the railway) up to the peak and walk down on the path through the jungle (as my kids call it) If you go the right way you can end up at the mid levels for a well earned cold beer, or end up in the zoo. I say take the bus because it winds its way up Happy Valley and the views are great. Top deck, front seat, its like a roller coaster ride.
The Big buddha and monastery are excellent.
Go to the Ladies Market (Mong Kok, east from the metro) and/or the Night Market. If you want to shop, better off in the USA, high end goods are not cheaper in HK any more, there's too much chinese money flowing through it for that. Bond St in London is cheaper for luxury goods than HK.
