39 Best Hotels in Hong Kong, China

Owned by a family of art lovers and collectors, this elegant hotel brings understated chic to a street dominated by bathroom fittings stores. The rooms are mostly compact but fitted with cushy comforts like plush beds and marble bathrooms, while a couple of suites have sprawling balconies offering views of the busy streets below. Dining is a highlight—Zoku serves up contemporary Japanese cuisine and Lucciola offers an elevated take on Italian classics, while alfresco bar The Terrace is the perfect place to nurse a cocktail. The artfully designed lobby is dotted with books and paintings from the owners' private collection, and doubles as a hangout space for guests.

Perks at this standard-issue airport hotel are views of the new third runway at HKG and/or the South China Sea, plus a footbridge that conveniently connects to AsiaWorld-Expo and free shuttle service to the airport. Man Ho Chinese Restaurant is excellent, offering traditional dishes with tasty, innovative twists in a casual yet elegant setting. While most guests will be here on business, they can take time out for sightseeing tours of such local attractions as the Big Buddha in nearby Lantau and the Ngong Ping cable car. Additionally, there's a giant mall, 11 SKIES, along with the region's first KidZania.

The interiors throughout this hotel are designed to make a statement, from the vertical garden hanging above the lobby café to the stylish, panoramic, top-floor lounge—and, in between, are gorgeous, view-filled guest rooms outfitted with cozy woods, natural fabrics, and high-tech amenities. The outdoor rooftop pool and gym hang over the harbor, the spa is staffed with Thai masseuses, and the buffet at the Market restaurant is one of the most popular in town (guests can skip to the front of the line).

Its location at the tip of the Kowloon peninsula ensures panoramic, front-row harbor views from most of the restaurants and contemporary guest rooms. The restaurant lineup includes Hoi King Heen, a Chinese restaurant with sophisticated interiors; The Mistral, an Italian restaurant that overlooks the harbor; and Cafe on M, where guests can find modern breakfast dishes. For a tipple, head to award-winning Tiffany New York Bar, where they channel the energy of the Big Apple to the intimate space.

For access to Lantau Island's top sites, it's hard to beat the location of this hotel atop the Citygate Outlets, close to the airport, Ngong Ping 360 cable car, and Tung Chung bus station. If you're an aviation buff, some rooms come with a runway view. For those hoping to get refreshed after a flight, the hotel has a 24-hour gym, Jacuzzi, and seasonal pool; suites even come with a private plunge pool or Jacuzzi. 

The living concept at this slender glass tower hotel in Sheung Wan combines boutique comfort with apartment convenience—each "suite" (either one or two-bed) comes with separate areas for lounging, dining, and preparing food, as well as spacious marble-clad bathrooms. The hotel has a modest fitness center and roof garden but no restaurants or bars. With that said, it's an easy walk to any number of terrific restaurants, and just a few steps from Sheung Wan MTR station and the tram stop.

A minimalist Japandi design hotel with light, bright rooms that come with lovely city or Victoria Harbour views, this hotel even has a few tatami rooms, a first for Hong Kong. Creature comforts include Malin+Goetz designer bath products and an in-room Nespresso machine. The on-site whisky bar and tranquil Zen garden provide spaces to relax, whether you want to do it with a drink or a rake in hand.

If you need an escape from the city, Auberge Discovery Bay offers up sea views, spacious rooms, and a decadent spa. For outdoorsy types, there's easy access to hiking paths, as well as to Lantau Island’s main tourist draws: the Big Buddha, Disneyland, and Tai O fishing village. Many of the rooms come with panoramic views and sunken bathtubs, and all guests have access to a sprawling swimming pool and 27-hole golf course. Don’t be surprised if you watch a wedding unfold during your stay: the waterfront setting has a following thanks in part to its striking glass chapel and horse-drawn carriage rides.

At this sleek glass-and-steel box that transformed a once seedy block, whimsical sculptures of Mao's Red Guards greet you at the entrance, and luxurious guest rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, mirrored walls, mood lighting, and glass-walled marble bathrooms. The Cantonese restaurant Ming Court is Michelin starred, and the open atrium lounge, Backyard, is a great place for drinks. While the hotel is about playful luxury, the surrounding area provides a look into local life in an unwesternized neighborhood.

Smart and comfortable (if business-like) rooms here have harbor views from higher floors, and the quiet Sai Ying Pun location means its a short walk to trendy neighborhood bars, cafés, and restaurants. Central is a short taxi- or subway-ride away, and the hotel is conveniently close to Western Tunnel for those with business in Kowloon. 

Overlooking Happy Valley and the surrounding hillsides through floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows, the superior rooms are sleek, but suites afford especially panoramic views through three walls of windows. Blissfully removed from the crowds on a quiet street, this business-oriented hotel is just around the corner from Causeway Bay's low-key bar street and close to many attractions. The rooftop bar, Club @28, comes alive at night and is a destination in itself.

The younger, funkier sibling to Hong Kong's posh Upper House, this spot has photo-worthy, minimalist-chic guest rooms, some with modernist swing seats and bathtubs facing the harbor, that are hot favorites with influencers. Sugar, the open-air lounge on the 32nd floor, serves up local-theme drinks and bar snacks with spectacular views, while Feast offers an international buffet throughout the day. Central and Wan Chai are just short subway rides away. A paperless checkout system means that when it's time to go, you simply pick up and leave.

Rooms above a theater and shopping complex come in a variety of welcoming styles, from an East-meets-West decor in some to airy, bright, functional contemporary design in others—all are set up for maximum comfort and relaxation. So is the rooftop outdoor heated pool, designed like a Roman bath, and glass-walled gym overlooking Kowloon on all sides. Kowloon's most famous night market on Temple Street is just a stone's throw away, and the lively nighttime street scene in Mong Kok to the north and the more touristy attractions of Tsim Sha Tsui to the south are about a 15-minute walk in either direction.

A quiet locale just east of Victoria Park is enhanced by soothingly decorated guest rooms, where the amenities include glass-walled showers. Some rooms come with free access to the tranquil Life Spa, and business travelers can take advantage of a lounge that provides panoramic views, along with free coffee, tea, and refreshments. Electric Road, around the corner, is lined with decent restaurants that augment the rather bland in-house dining room, and Victoria Park compensates for the lack of pool or gym with plenty of outdoor sports facilities.

Some rooms are spacious with splendid views of the bay, and other rooms are smaller with close-up street views, but all have a light, contemporary design and are moderately priced compared with other high-end hotels (especially in the center of Causeway Bay). The hotel has no pool but it does have its own spa and fitness center, and a lively English pub on the lower level draws a fair number of loyal expatriates. The location, adjacent to Victoria Park, is ideal for recreation, shopping, and dining, and the restaurant-heavy World Trade Centre is right next door.

This hotel offers a long list of amenities: most of the large, comfortable, contemporary rooms have harbor views, and the year-round outdoor pool, spa, gym, and array of lounges and restaurants are spectacular. If you prefer to cook, the hotel's serviced suites have fully equipped kitchens. Taxis and ferries take you to the heart of town in just a few minutes, and it's a three-minute walk from the Whampoa MTR station. 

This waterfront property, run by a company affiliated with the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong, has small but relatively inexpensive rooms near the Wan Chai Star Ferry pier. Rooms are pleasantly decorated and offer enviable harbor views. The hotel is well placed if you want to attend cultural events in the evening: both the Arts Centre and the Academy for Performing Arts are next door. It's also opposite the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The pedestrian overpass will get you across Wan Chai or to the Star Ferry quickly without stepping down into the traffic, that is, until you get to Hennessy Road.

Most views from the basic, medium-size rooms involve an up-close look at your neighbors, but being in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui is the main attraction, along with such perks as a refreshing outdoor pool area with sauna and steam rooms. You should be forewarned that next door is the Chung King Mansions, a huge residential complex that is historically notorious for black-market dealings and crime; some recent redevelopment and tasty restaurants have lessened the creep factor, but it's best to remain vigilant when you're in the area. 

Harbor-facing rooms without the eye-watering price tags and big crowds are exactly what this sleek, contemporary hotel off the tourist track offers. Granted, many rooms have partially blocked views, but you can always head up to the beautiful Cruise restaurant and bar on the 23rd story for unobstructed panoramas. Buffet restaurant The Farmhouse serves up a socially conscious spread that focuses on high-welfare meats and sustainable seafood. The hotel is connected to the Harbour North shopping mall.  

At this location boxed in by high-rises, only the upper-floor rooms have memorable views, but all are cozy retreats done in olive and brown tones with burgundy armchairs and classic photos of Hong Kong on the walls. The outdoor heated pool and deck is a corner of panoramic paradise, the Chin Chin Bar has a fine collection of whiskey to go with live jazz every night, and among the hotel's dining options are Hugo's, a local institution; the Cafe, serving an all-day buffet; and The Chinese Restaurant, popular for dim sum.

This slick apart-hotel ditches traditional hotel trappings like a grand lobby, restaurants, and bars, instead channeling its focus into spacious, minimalist rooms that boast floor-to-ceiling windows, kitchenettes, luxurious bedding, and skyline views. It's a stylish base from which to explore Sheung Wan’s vibrant cultural and dining scene.

Located in a business and technology hub, this mid-century styled, pet-friendly lifestyle hotel on the island's quieter southern shore might be an option if you fancy staying far from the crowds and you don't mind taking taxis to get around. Following a 2022 renovation, the spacious guest rooms have a minimalist white aesthetic, with generously sized windows for sea gazing. Corner suites enjoy especially sensational sea views.

In the absence of views, rooms are a show in themselves, with audacious design, artsy decor, and plenty of luxury and comfort. The lush Dada Bar + Lounge upstairs is great for a nightcap, accompanied by live music from Monday to Saturday, and Scandinavian fine-dining spot FINDS is on the first floor. The location is ideal for night owls, thanks to a string of low-key bars and restaurants just outside on Knutsford Terrace.

Spacious rooms with sweeping views of Hong Kong Island are near the shopping hub along Canton Road and linked to Harbour City's immense shopping complex. The place is especially popular when the hotel hosts its acclaimed German Bierfest celebrations: an upper entrance leads to an open-air terrace (with unsullied harbor views) that serves as a venue for a 23-day-long Oktoberfest, so depending on your fondness for beer and those who swill it, you may want to plan a stay accordingly. The hotel shares its pool and fitness facilities with two other nearby Marco Polo properties.

Choose from a range of serviced-apartment-inspired studios and suites (many with kitchenettes) at this tower residence, all of which are light, airy, and contemporary. Facilities include a small gym, a sundeck, and a laundry. The many attractions of Central and Sheung Wan are just outside the door.

The views of the skyline and adjacent Victoria Park are beautiful, whether enjoyed from the simple but effectively designed modern rooms with all the basics or the pleasant rooftop pool. Adventurous diners will be pleased to discover the street food of Electric Road just around the corner, and the shops and sophisticated nightlife of Causeway Bay are just a subway stop away. Guests who wish to stay close to home can catch a game at Vic's Pub, or dine on French-Japanese fusion cuisine at Café du Parc.

Streamlined-sleek guest rooms have touches of modern buzz everywhere (glass-pod showers, laptop safes, free smartphones), but the excellent service and guest-friendly facilities make this much more than a design showplace. The MiraSpa is a delightful retreat, with one of the most strikingly beautiful indoor infinity pools around, and although dining and bars are plentiful in the area, Mira's choices are excellent, too. Vibes is an open-air music lounge where scattered cabanas, uber-comfy chairs, and evening cocktails make you feel worlds away from Tsim Sha Tsui.

Opened in late 2023, this art-forward hotel offers rooms accented with stylish, colorful furniture. Onsite food and beverage options include Dario Cecchini's steakhouse, as well as an excellent cocktail bar, Avoca, serving Hong Kong--inspired cocktails.

Decent harbor views from some rooms compensate for sparse furnishings and the lack of any personality, while the business center is handy for those with work to do. Abundant nightlife is only minutes away, and guests can escape to the rooftop gym and outdoor pool.

Situated right at the island's main transport hub, Novotel Citygate is perfectly placed for exploring Lantau's sights. Buses to Tai O, a remote fishing village on the other side of the island, leave just five minutes from here on foot; the Ngong Ping 360 cable car is also close by. Experienced trekkers can even try walking the Lantau hills from here, although most of the trails are considered moderate to difficult. The concierge can organize white dolphin sightseeing trips, which depart from the nearby pier. Guest rooms are spacious and bright, with large windows and open bathrooms, offering spectacular views of either the sea or the Lantau hills and cable cars. Should the weather not hold up, you may find other pleasures in the adjoining Citygate outlet mall and cinemas, not to mention the 30-minute MTR ride from Tung Chung to Central.
