Best Luxury Hotels In West Kowloon
This dynamic district of Hong Kong, cradled by the iconic Victoria Harbour, is renowned for its luxury developments, and world-class West Kowloon Cultural District. Here, art enthusiasts and visitors are drawn to the impressive M+ Museum and the Xiqu Centre, celebrating visual arts and traditional Cantonese opera, respectively. The area’s waterfront promenades offer breathtaking views and a serene escape from the urban bustle, making it a favoured destination for both locals and tourists. Here are our favourite 5-star and luxury hotels in the district.
Hong Kong, Yau Tsim Mong District
The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong
(5 stars)Classic luxury is always on tap at the Ritz. This one is located in Kowloon, on floors 102 to 118 of the International Commerce Centre. There are Michelin-starred restaurants, two bars and a dedicated caviar bar. Don’t miss the spa and indoor infinity pool – a swim here is an ethereal experience, with a mirrored ceiling and an LED display wall. The Ritz is a great option for parents, with ample facilities – the staff will even create indoor night safari adventures to keep little ones entertained after dark. And for those wishing to party, head to the Ozone rooftop lounge, with Asian tapas, cocktails and a DJ.
Hong Kong, Yau Tsim Mong District
W Hong Kong
(5 stars)Owned by the Marriot group, this funky upscale hotel chain is beloved by the trendy jet set. Found above the huge Elements Mall, it’s home to many a glitzy rooftop pool party. But it’s perhaps best known for its epic boozy Sunday brunch buffet, so large, diners are furnished with a map on arrival. Here the champagne flows, while endless fine food stations ensure you’re truly spoilt for choice. There are 393 rooms – some with glimpses of the harbour – decorated in notably calmer tones than the public areas, two restaurants, a cocktail bar and the Bliss Spa.
