Conrad Hong Kong

$$$$ | 88 Queensway, Hong Kong, Hong Kong

A gleaming-white, oval-shaped tower rising from the Pacific Place complex offers dramatic views of the harbor and the Peak, along with super convenience for shopping and transport to other parts of Hong Kong. Guests appreciate little touches such as free-on-request Shanghai Tang bathroom amenities and a choice of five pillow types, and business travelers can enjoy five executive floors and a dedicated lounge with harbor views and all-day food and drink. The Sunday champagne brunch is one of the city's finest (best to book early).

Pros

  • Elevator whisks guests down to Pacific Place shopping mall

Cons

  • Has a bit of a chain hotel feel

Few comforts are neglected, with amenities ranging from sumptuous Chinese-accented furnishings to all sorts of high-tech gadgetry, but the main features are the knockout views of the harbor and Victoria Peak through walls of glass.

Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong

$$$$ | 5 Connaught Rd., Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fodor's Choice

Over the past 50 years, Hong Kong's most famous hotel has lost none of its opulence, colonial charm, or shine: it still features impeccable service as well as spacious rooms with daybeds tucked beneath huge windows; TV screens set next to bathroom sinks; and closet cubbyhole "valet boxes," where your daily paper, newly shined shoes, and room-service meal magically appear. The Clipper Lounge and The Chinnery (serving Hong Kong's best fish-and-chips in Hong Kong) ooze colonial flavor, while Michelin-starred Man Wah offers local Cantonese delicacies. Other notable facilities include The Mandarin Spa, which draws inspiration from traditional Chinese Medicine, and the old-school Mandarin Barber.

Pros

  • Spacious, open, beautifully designed rooms with harbor views
  • Old-world ambience at its finest
  • Exquisite spa, salon, and barber

Cons

  • In-room Wi-Fi isn't free
  • Small indoor pool
  • Clipper Lounge decor feels dated

The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong

$$$$ | 1 Austin Rd. W, Kowloon, Hong Kong Fodor's Choice
The Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge

At the world's highest hotel, occupying the 102nd through the 118th floors of West Kowloon's ICC skyscraper, every large, luxurious guest room enjoys a stupendous vantage point. While the many restaurants and bars enjoy the same stratospheric outlooks, high tea served at window-side seats in the Lounge & Bar is an especially memorable, vertigo-inducing experience; at Ozone, the highest bar in the world, the terrace is downright dizzying. A beautiful view-filled pool takes swimming to new heights.

Pros

  • Earth-shattering views
  • Top-class service and amenities
  • Sanctuary of a spa

Cons

  • Pricey rates and food
  • Surrounding Kowloon area lacks nightlife
  • Famous Ozone bar feels overpriced and touristy

The Upper House

$$$$ | 88 Queensway, Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fodor's Choice

Even standard rooms in this haven of stylish luxury are suites—tranquil havens of design and indulgence that feature huge window-side bathtubs, walk-in rain showers, and free minibars (or Maxi-Bars as they call them). Tucked away on the higher floors of the J.W. Marriott Hotel, the Upper House begins to charm as soon as the elevator opens onto the 49th-floor Sky lounge. Some guests may lament the lack of a pool and a spa, but with rooms like these, who needs them? The only drawback is not wanting to leave your room.

Pros

  • Minimalist design with works by contemporary Asian artists
  • World-class mountain, city, and harbor views
  • Incredibly personalized service

Cons

  • No spa or pool
  • Can be difficult to get a taxi
  • No reception so check-in can be confusing

W Hong Kong

$$$$ | 1 Austin Rd. W, Kowloon, Hong Kong Fodor's Choice

A hip, young vibe prevails, though guest rooms are veritable urban oases—soundproof and spacious; alternately colorful or sleek on even and odd floors; and equipped with mood lighting, surround audiovisual systems, big mirrors, and even bigger harbor views. The adjacent Elements mall is a shopaholic's dream, the 76th-floor outdoor heated pool area feels like a gathering spot for the young and the restless, and ultimate relaxation awaits at Bliss spa. Despite the West Kowloon address, it's very easy to get island-side by train or car (Western Tunnel is down the street).

Pros

  • Spacious and colorful rooms
  • Panoramic views
  • Exciting bars and restaurants

Cons

  • Noisy atmosphere outside rooms
  • Construction nearby
  • Long walk from the MTR through the mall
