Best Luxury Hotels in Wan Chai

The next Marriot hotel on our list is found in Wan Chai and caused a stir with its grand unveiling in 2019. With lashings of marble, muted tones, vintage deco lamps and high ceilinged lobbies, there’s a distinct sanctuary vibe about the 129-roomed St Regis. By night, you can swim under the stars, dine to the sound of jazz musicians, feast on French cuisine from chef Olivier Elzer, or try chef Hung Chi-Kwong’s Cantonese plates. An outdoor terrace with a calming water feature offers further feelings of tranquillity, contrasting the bustle on its doorstep. And be sure to try its own take on a Bloody Mary, the Canto Mary, crafted with tangerine peel and whisky (or one of the bar’s 800 wines and 100 champagnes).

Stylish, confident, and welcoming, The Hari Hong Kong melds the commercial polish of nearby Causeway Bay with the creative energy and design-forward spirit of neighbouring Wan Chai. Rising 30 storeys above Lockhart Road, the hotel comprises 210 rooms and suites, including three expansive rooftop Signature Suites. Interiors are the work of celebrated British designer Tara Bernerd, whose signature aesthetic blends warm, layered textures with an elegant, modern residential feel. The hotel opened in December 2020 as the sibling property to The Hari London, bringing the brand’s ethos of tailored hospitality and refined design to the heart of Hong Kong Island. It represents the vision of Dr. Aron Harilela, Chairman and CEO of Harilela Hotels, who has distilled over four decades of experience into this independent luxury brand. With its rich design language, lively dining venues, and curated art programme, The Hari Hong Kong is more than just a stylish address, it’s a cultural and social hub, and a distinctive addition to the city’s luxury hotel scene.
