San Francisco To Hyderabad via Hong Kong with 15 hours layover, Do I need to to submit a Pre-arrival Registration for hotel stay in HKG transit area?
I am a H1b visa holder working in USA traveling to India via Hong Kong where there is a 15h layover. I have seen that there is a Pre-arrival Registration Indians must go through if they are going to leave the transit area of HKG. However, I am planning to stay at a hotel called "Regal Airport Hotel" that is within the transit area of HKG.
Will I still need to go through the Pre-arrival Registration? What are my other options? I do not plan to leave the transit area in any case though.
Thanks for the help!

According to my experience and the research I've done during this trip, one does not necessarily need to leave the HKG Airport Transit Area to get some sleep. The lounges in the airport (Centurion, Plaza Premium Lounge) have some nice couches to sleep on. If a bed is really needed, there are two tiny Refreshh by Aerotel lounges within the airport that are somewhat expensive but decent to book small private cabins to get some sleep.
