While the neon-lit streetscapes are so synonymous with the destination, beyond the bright lights, travellers can discover a whole other world of old urban neighbourhoods, precious temples, and historical markets. From vibrant nightlife, a thriving art scene and a vast outdoors offering, Hong Kong has something for every type of traveller.
We take a closer look at four epic new hotel openings which make for the perfect base for exploring the region.
Regent Hong Kong
Aptly situated on the edge of the majestic Victoria Harbour, the legendary Regent Hong Kong recently underwent a striking transformation by Hong Kong-born, Milan-based designer Chi Wing Lo and reopened in June 2023. Blending storied heritage and serene aesthetics, the reimagined hotel beautifully juxtaposes the most spectacular views of Victoria Harbour with serene interiors layered with textures materials and quietly decadent touches. The hotel’s dining offering is a real highlight. With the refurbishment, guests have been able to rediscover the decadently indulgent restaurants that Regent Hong Kong was renowned for, with each restaurant bringing back not only all-time favourites and refreshed classics, but also new immersive culinary journeys that go beyond the excellence of the cuisine itself with sensory encounters inspired by Hong Kong’s rich culture and art.
Room rates start from £398 per night based on two adults sharing a King Classic Room.
The Olympian Hong Kong
The Olympian Hong Kong, which reopened its doors in September, is a luxury boutique hotel situated only minutes away from central Hong Kong. The hotel, home to 32 residential-sized rooms and suites, is perched on a quiet, tree-lined promenade at the entrance to Victoria Harbour. As a boutique hotel, guests are offered a personalised and intuitive style of service, creating a more intimate and comfortable stay.

Mondrian Hong Kong
Situated in the vibrant Tsim Sha Tsui, this new Hong Kong opening in December 2023 marks the launch of the first Mondrian Hong Kong in Greater China.
