Hong Kong Ocean Park Marriott Hotel

A theme-park resort that’s both playful and stylish. $$

The fun of Ocean Park, Hong Kong’s homegrown theme park and aquarium, spills over to this adjacent Marriott. Our kids squealed at the sight of the enormous pool at its heart; the ‘Central Lagoon’ has four distinct areas, including a pirate ship with slides and animal figures that spray water. It’s visible from many of the 469 rooms, all shades of blues and greens, with light woods and subtle sea-inspired motifs. An extendable wire for drying swimsuits in the shower and kiddie slippers with the Ocean Park mascots are among the thoughtful touches, as is an indoor Kids Corner for any rain days. There are grown-up-friendly offerings, too: a full-service spa and Prohibition for steak and craft cocktails or Canton Bistro for elevated Shunde cooking.

Detail You’ll Love: The dazzling 50-foot-tall fish tank within the hotel and the dedicated outdoor escalator that transports you right to the Ocean Park entrance

Pool? Yes, an outdoor pool.
