There’s more to Hong Kong’s hotel scene than just harbourside luxury. In this Asian powerhouse, travellers can also experience seaside living, find retro bargains or bed down in a traditional village.
Please be respectful of copyright. Unauthorized use is prohibited.Self-styled as ‘Asia’s world city’, Hong Kong has seen its fair share of upheaval over the decades, but much of its current prosperity is built on its historic standing as a trading outpost. You sense that when you fly over the freighters that crisscross its waters, and see the skyscrapers that pierce its chockablock centre.
Occupying a skinny skyscraper on Central’s Arbuthnot Road, this welcoming property is minutes from Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong’s entertainment district. It’s also beside the more subdued delights of Tai Kwun, a century-old policing complex converted into a drinking, dining and cultural precinct. Though amiable service means the hotel remains relaxed, the Ovolo readily supports guests who want to get into the party spirit.
In the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark in the North East New Territories, this unique restored village includes 11 simple houses available for stays to guests who book an on-site activity. The settlement was established centuries ago by Hakka clans, an ethnic group originally from Northern China, and the project aims to celebrate them with workshops, such as weaving classes or rice harvesting.
Illuminating an innocuous Wan Chai tower block on Hong Kong Island, the old-school neon ‘The Fleming’ sign running vertically down several floors of the building is the first sign that this is a hotel with retro sensibilities. Head inside you’ll see that promise delivered handsomely with interiors inspired by Hong Kong’s fabled Star Ferry.
