About Hong Kong

Buzzing with energy and layered in contrasts, Hong Kong is a city where glassy skyscrapers rise beside ancient temples, and street markets hum in the shadow of luxury shopping malls. It’s a place that moves fast but also encourages you to slow down — whether you’re sipping milk tea in a cha chaan teng, taking in the view from Victoria Peak, or catching the Star Ferry across the harbour at sunset. From the neon dazzle of Kowloon to the green corners of Hong Kong Island, every neighbourhood has its own rhythm and rewards. Food lovers, culture seekers, and urban explorers will all find something to love here. And when it’s time to check in, the city’s hotel scene is just as varied — think design-forward boutique hotels, iconic waterfront stays, sleek luxury towers, and brilliant-value boltholes in unexpected spots. Our pick of the best places to stay in Hong Kong offers something for every kind of traveller, whether you're here to splurge or stretch your budget as far as possible!

Some of our Hong Kong Collections:

Still rooted in tradition, old Hong Kong lives on beside new Hong Kong. Ultra-modern developments are aligned with care according to the advice of feng-shui masters. Just steps away from traffic jams oases of peace can be found in neighbourhood temples. Historic trams rumble above one of the world's most advanced subway systems. Chinese culture mixes with the West. Have dim sum followed by afternoon tea to a soundtrack by this week's Cantopop sensation.

Don't forget that this throbbing metropolis is a hugely popular destination, both for work and pleasure. To guarantee a room in one of the best places to stay in Hong Kong, do your research and book well ahead.
