Best Hotels in Hong Kong (2026)

Where you stay in Hong Kong shapes your trip. Tsim Sha Tsui, on the Kowloon side, has harbour views, museums and the Star Ferry, and it is home to The Peninsula, which opened in 1928, and Rosewood Hong Kong, ranked first in The World's 50 Best Hotels in 2025. The Salisbury, run by the YMCA, offers a central location on the same road at a lower price. Hotel ICON in Tsim Sha Tsui East is a design-led teaching hotel run by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

On Hong Kong Island, Central and Admiralty are the most convenient bases for first-time visitors, close to the Peak Tram, ferries and many of the best restaurants and bars. Mandarin Oriental has been a landmark on Connaught Road since 1963, and The Upper House offers a quieter, residential style of luxury above Pacific Place. Wan Chai and Tin Hau are good for boutique options, such as The Fleming, inspired by the Star Ferry, and the minimalist Tuve. Rooms in Hong Kong are generally small and prices high, so book early for holidays and major events, and compare room sizes carefully.
