Hotels

Grand Hyatt Hotel
君悅酒店
The sizeable Grand Hyatt Hotel is defined by unrestrained luxury in both its public and private areas. Subtle – it is not. The spacious rooms are equally well-equipped to catch up on work or to relax, with marble clad bathrooms and a variety of wonderful views. Its Champagne Bar is one of the chicest places to drink in town. The stunning Plateau, a 7500-sq-metre spa complex with every treatment imaginable, is an oasis on the 11th floor.

Island Shangri-La Hotel
港岛香格里拉大酒店
The colossal exterior of this hotel does not prepare you for the sophistication that awaits inside. The guestrooms are among the loveliest in Hong Kong and the public spaces are filled with chandeliers and marble. The lift, linking the 39th and 56th floors, provides views of the hotel’s signature 60m-high painting, a mountainous Chinese landscape said to be the largest in the world. Facilities include an outdoor spa, a 24-hour business centre and a good selection of food options.

Peninsula Hong Kong
香港半島酒店
The Peninsula Hong Kong occupies a fabulous grey-stone edifice that has enjoyed a hallowed reputation since it first opened its doors in 1928. Its classical architecture, rather like that of a grand old mansion, is a refreshing departure from the skyscraping modernity around it. Even the modern extension topped by two helipads blends well.

Four Seasons
四季酒店
A recent luxury arrival in Hong Kong, the Four Seasons arguably moves into top place for its amazing views of the island, its location nearby the Star Ferry and Hong Kong Station, and its palatial rooms. Add to the mix a glorious pool and spa complex that indulges guests with massages and facial treatments and 24-hour business services. The downstairs lobby lounge that looks out onto the harbour is a wonderful place to enjoy afternoon tea.

Mandarin Oriental
香港文華東方酒店
The esteemed Mandarin set Hong Kong’s high standard of accommodation and continues to do so. The styling, service, food and atmosphere are superb throughout, and a recent refurbishment has managed to retain the hotel’s sense of gracious old world charm. It’s also home to Captain’s Bar, one of Hong Kong’s great bars, and great restaurants such as Pierre. The new rooms in the Landmark Building offer more modern luxury and are beautifully designed even down to the door knobs.
