77 Best Hotels in Hong Kong, China

A tranquil haven of designer luxury, even the lowest tier rooms at Upper House clock in at a palatial 70 square meters (about 750 square feet) and come with huge window-side bathtubs, walk-in rain showers, and free minibars (or Maxi-Bars as they call them). Perched on the uppermost floors of the JW 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? 

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).

Up in the exclusive Mid-Levels above Central, this long-standing tower hotel offers unbeatable value, especially if you book its compact harbor-facing suites which offer impressive views and a more sensible amount of space than the standard rooms. Guests also get a modest business center, a fitness room with a view, an outdoor pool in summer, and a restaurant with open-air terrace.

One of Hong Kong's finest ultraluxe hotels, the Four Seasons wows with knockout harbor views from its sumptuous guest rooms, world-class restaurants, a gorgeous infinity pool, and legendary service. Few comforts are neglected, with amenities ranging from lavish Chinese-accented furnishings to a blissful sanctuary of a spa. Restaurants include Lung King Heen, the first Cantonese restaurant to get three Michelin stars, and Caprice, one of the premier French restaurants in the city.

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.

One of the city's most charming and personable budget hotels exudes loads of character in tidy, comfortable rooms that are well organized and clean. A super-comfy common room opens onto a spacious open-air deck with chairs and tables, a great place to meet fellow travelers. You'll find all kinds of postings for happening activities (at discount prices) around town, and the area is loaded with places to eat.

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.

Formerly focused on longer stays, this boutique luxury hotel re-launched in 2024 with a complete makeover featuring elegant interiors by the award-winning French designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. The rooms feel like exclusive apartments, and many come with their own living areas and kitchenettes. Travelers are pampered with a 24-hour gym and self-service laundry, not to mention complimentary treats in the lobby throughout the day. The new Salon Lanson restaurant, which has the vibes of an exclusive club, adds on-site dining to the list of conveniences. 

First opened in 1963, the flagship of the Mandarin Oriental hotel group has lost little of its opulence, colonial charm, or shine: it still features impeccable service and sumptuous rooms levelled up with goose-down bedding, silk kimonos, and acres of marble in the bathrooms. Closet cubbyhole \"valet boxes\" are where your daily paper, newly shined shoes, and room-service meal magically appear. Michelin-starred Man Wah offers local Cantonese delicacies, The Aubrey is a 25th-floor Japanese izakaya that ranks as one of the city's best spots for cocktails and late-night eats, while The Chinnery and Captain's Bar ooze clubby colonial vibes. Other notable facilities include The Mandarin Spa, which draws inspiration from traditional Chinese Medicine, and the old-school Mandarin Barber.

Next to Hong Kong Park and the lower terminus of the Peak Tram, this 25-story office tower was converted into a lavishly minimalist luxury hotel in 2018, and boasts elegantly appointed harbor-view rooms, a swimming pool, spa and five restaurants, including one on the rooftop.

Even in a city with so many world-class hotels, The Peninsula—opened in 1928 and the luxury brand's flagship—stands apart from the rest, an oasis of old-world glamour, with Kowloon and harbor views that'll make you feel like you own Hong Kong and high-ceiling, apartment-like rooms furnished with chic, residential-style elegance and updated with guest-oriented technology. Amenities here include multiple bedside adapters, LED touch-screen wall panels (available in 11 languages), interactive digital tablets, and wireless phones with complimentary VOIP long-distance. Eating and drinking options range from Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant Spring Moon to award-winning French at Gaddi’s, fine dining in the Philippe Starck–designed Felix to Swiss classics in the chalet-style Chesa. Of course, there's the reimagined afternoon-tea service in the lobby and swank cocktails at aptly named The Bar. There's also a pool and fitness center, and, as with all Peninsulas, a top-of-the-line spa incorporating Asian healing traditions. It all comes together with impeccable service, and—for those not minding the bank—can be accented with experiences like private helicopter tours and dim sum \"journeys.\"

At the world's third 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.

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.

Though guest rooms in this modern town on the north side of Kowloon Park have few frills and vary in size considerably (ask for a larger one), they do have one bonus: views over an extensive swath of greenery or the harbor. All of Tsim Sha Tsui's action is nearby, as are Jordan and Mong Kok sights such as Temple Street market, which can be visited on foot.

A gleaming-white, oval-shape tower rising from the Pacific Place complex, this luxury chain-hotel offers dramatic views of the harbor and the Peak, along with super convenience for mall shopping, high-end restaurants, and transport to other parts of Hong Kong. Though feeling a little dated these days, standards of service and cleanliness remain sky high.

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.

This youthful design hotel should appeal to guests who appreciate clean lines and bright, cheery interiors. The rooms are on the small side, but common areas like a shared kitchenette on the fifth floor offer more space to potter around. A free daily shuttle bus service takes guests into Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and Central. 

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.

This is Disneyland, so the focus is on kids—from chef Mickey restaurants to the piano-shape pool to well-stocked playrooms—but adults might enjoy the theme of silver-screen glamour that extends to art deco styling in the cocktail lounge and the small but comfortable guest rooms. Rooms also come in a few different styles, including the predictable Mickey and friends, and a newer one with Marvel characters.

This comfortable, if older, hotel occupies a prime spot between Wan Chai and Causeway Bay opposite the popular Happy Valley Racecourse, yet its rates are surprisingly reasonable—perhaps because many rooms look onto Sai Wan War Cemetery, where more than 1,500 soldiers who died during World War II are buried. If you're superstitious, ask for a room that faces the racecourse instead. The accommodations are fairly spacious and comfortable, though they're dated and the busy wallpaper can be a turnoff. But if value and location take top priority, this is hard to beat.

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.
