Spa, gym and pool

Treatment rooms in a sleek contemporary style host a spa menu covering beauty, health and massage. A double height gym and a pool with a view give those who like to train a place to work out, and the same floor offers a bar for winding down afterwards. Self service laundry is available for every in house guest, which keeps longer trips simple. Together these features make the hotel a relaxed base for people who want rest between busy days of work or sightseeing.

Academy and learning

Part of the building works as a learning space where visitors can join hands on classes. The academy runs cooking lessons, wine tasting sessions and cocktail or mocktail workshops in a lively and welcoming setting. Guests build key skills while they use their imagination. The approach reflects a wider belief in entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and innovation, which shapes the events held across the property. Each workshop keeps the programme varied and gives guests a reason to come back.

Kowloon neighbourhood

The area sits in the heart of Kowloon, on the northern side of the harbour. Evening walks along the waterfront bring views over the water and the skyline, and the district offers a wide choice of shops. Several cultural centres and museums are close by, including ones that tell the story of the city's colonial past. Restaurants and bars stretch through the neighbourhood, so there is always a fresh place to eat after a day of exploring.

Our full take

An upscale harbour view hotel in Hong Kong with dining options.
