Fodor's Expert Review Lanson Place Hotel

A world away from the typically flashy, ever so slightly corporate looking hotel entrances that welcome guests to many hotels in this city, the sturdy rendered brick of the Lanson Place Hotel in Causeway Bay creates an impression in the form of its parred back, stately solidity. Inside, guests will be impressed with the luxury boutique hotel’s attention to detail, chic décor and gorgeous understated rooms with convenient kitchenettes.

YOU SHOULD KNOW While technically in Causeway Bay, the hotel is removed from the bright lights of the city’s premier shopping district and has an appealingly quiet location.

room

Decked in neutral creams, greys, and beiges, the considered rooms are a lesson in creating the ideal hotel environment. Calm and cozy, chic but not over the top, the rooms are impeccable. Compact kitchenettes in even the standard rooms provide the chance to cook for yourself—handy in a hotel with no dedicated restaurant.

lobby

Even if the rooms weren’t so appealing, the watercolor frescoes, well-stocked bookcases, heavy drapes and low-slung armchairs of the lobby would have you fixing to stay awhile anyway.

dining

The hotel has no full restaurant—offset in part by the kitchenettes in the rooms—but it does serve a buffet breakfast to guests.

drinking

Guests can enjoy a drink in the lounge or indoor courtyard.
