Hong Kong Hotels: Where to stay for a great trip

This guide brings together all my top Hong Kong hotel recommendations. All of them are personally vetted, and in locations I’d happily stay in myself. Whether you’re looking for luxury, boutique charm, or a solid mid-range pick, I’ve done the legwork so you don’t have to scroll through endless reviews.
Every hotel you’ll find here is one I’ve either stayed in, toured, or obsessively researched as if I were booking it for my own trip. I’ve created this guide drawing on over 45 years of experience exploring Hong Kong.
By the end of this page, you’ll know:
- Which areas in Hong Kong make the best home base
- How to choose a place that’s safe, convenient, and worth the money
- My personal picks for boutique, mid-range, and luxury stays
