Best Luxury Hotels in Hong Kong

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.

Our third Pacific Place Mall Hotel was the first Asian Marriot property, established in 1989. It houses 602 rooms, each with luxurious seven-layer mattresses, pillow menus and capsule coffee machines. Swim year-round in the outdoor heated pool, enjoy a massage at the spa and dine at the award-winning Man Ho Restaurant. Feast on a top-class breakfast buffet or eat at the beach styled Fish Bar with a menu including the fresh catch of the day and seafood. With direct access to the MTR, it’s an ideal base for exploring this fascinating area.

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.

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.

Boasting beautiful interiors and cutting-edge style from top Asian designer Andre Fu, the mountain and harbour views here are to die for. Found on Pacific Place above a glitzy mall, there are 117 rooms and suites, decorated in a warming, soothing style with bamboo, limestone and woollen textiles. There’s an eco-friendly vibe with hybrid hire cars for hire, paperless checkouts and organic food. The in-house restaurant, Café Gray Deluxe is renowned, as is its chic adjacent bar, popular with well-heeled business people.

Stay just a little way from Hong Kong Island, in the hubbub of colourful Kowloon.

Hotel Icon also has 262 rooms, oodles of Chinese artwork, an outdoor pool, three restaurants and an elite glitzy club lounge with free drinks and snacks (for those choosing to upgrade).
