The Best Hotels in Hong Kong
While Hong Kong's hotel scene is characterised by luxurious 5-star waterfront hotels with exorbitant price tags to match, its still possible to find some affordable gems. We reveal our selection of the best hotels in Hong Kong.
Luxury Overlooking the Victoria Harbour waterfront and the vibrant financial district, the Four Seasons Hong Kong is a modern oasis of 5-star luxury and opulence. The Four Seasons credentials are impeccable, boasting the ultimate harbour-front location within the upscale IFC luxury shopping mall, two of the best fine dining restaurants in town (Caprice & Lung King Heen), a stunning harbour-front infinity pool, and the most luxurious spa in Hong Kong. The Landmark Oriental is another stylish luxury hotel option, and is a firm favourite of the luxury fashion set (making it virtually impossible to book during Fashion Week). The Landmark Oriental features a contemporary look of sleek minimalism and stylish modern furniture, and boasts the largest hotel rooms in Hong Kong. With a prime location in the heart of Hong Kong’s central shopping and business district, the Landmark is a luxury shoppers paradise with a multitude of upscale shopping centers such as Harvey Nichols right on its doorstep.
Design As the epitome of sheer rock star glamour, the new W Hong Kong in West Kowloon is one of the city’s newest and best addresses. You’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve accidentally walked into one of Hong Kong's trendiest nightlife spaces when you first arrive in the lobby, with pulsing DJ sounds and a fashionable media crowd lounging around the sultry designer public spaces. Another fantastic new design hotel in Hong Kong is The Upper House, the impressive new offering by up-and-coming Asian design talent, Andre Fu. As his first luxury hotel project with the Swire Hotels group, the designer has created a small luxury hotel reminiscent of a luxurious private residence with a distinctly warm and inviting home-away-from-home feel. The Upper House also boasts an impressive collection of art works from some of Asia’s finest artists, including a soaring ten-story sculpture and water feature by artist Hiroshiwata Sawada which gracefully climbs the wall of the hotel’s atrium.
Affordable With Phillip Starck at the design helm, you can be assured that the budget chic JIA Boutique Hotel is cutting-edge cool, with his signature all-white minimalist style, modern antique furniture and intricate furnishings. The JIA boutique hotel was one of the first modern boutique hotels to open in Hong Kong, offering a more intimate and affordable change from the multitude of over-the-top luxurious 5 star hotels that tend to dominate Hong Kong’s hotel scene. The JIA offers comfort and luxury at a very affordable price tag, and has a fantastic location in the heart of Hong Kong’s shopping mecca, Causeway Bay. For those looking for something more intimate than the typical over-the-top opulence of Hong Kong’s grand five-star hotels, yet don’t want to sacrifice on stylish design and luxurious comforts, then the Lanson Place boutique hotel is a great hotel choice. Located next to the vibrant shopping mecca of Causeway Bay, Lanson Place is cool and modern yet comfortable and luxurious, with a timeless sense of style.
