Tired of the same old view from your Hong Kong flat? It’s time to find a new one – temporarily, that is. There’s a number of sleek hotels in Hong Kong boasting unbelievable views of the city’s different facets, from the city’s utterly photogenic skyline to the New Territories’ lush, forested mountains.
Whatever your budget or choice of scenery, there’s bound to be a hotel which offers a different perspective on the city. And the best part? You can redeem or earn Asia Miles when you book any of these Hong Kong hotels with Cathay.
Svelte, intimate and boasting stunning views – a staycation at The Upper House is one you’ll never forget. Scroll through Instagram and you’re sure to see at least one unbelievable bathroom picture featuring its sprawling bathtub and views opening out onto the Hong Kong skyline. While you’re likely to spend a lot of time peering out your room’s floor-to-ceiling windows, make sure you take a moment to appreciate the modern Asian minimalism of designer Andre Fu’s interiors. And head up to Salisterra on floor 49, where you can commandeer a window seat and watch the Star Ferry cross Victoria Harbour while you enjoy your meal.

While its sister hotel the Rosewood Hong Kong may get a lot of attention, the sophisticated residences of K11 Artus are the ideal tranquil getaway for discerning guests. Given its prime location on the waterfront of Tsim Sha Tsui, you’ll want to make sure to book a ‘Harbour’ room: it’ll cost slightly more but you won’t regret paying for that harbour view. It’s a front-row seat to postcard perfect views of the Hong Kong skyline. Enjoy a bottle of something special on your room’s terrace, which stretches all the way across the length of the room.

For those on a budget, this hotel is the one to beat. Tucked away on the edge of the Mid-Levels on Robinson Road, this humble hotel’s pared-back offerings have a major perk: one of the best views of Hong Kong’s most iconic buildings. As it’s located a little higher up the mountain, you get a slightly different vantage point of the city’s Central district in the distance. There’s nothing quite like switching off all the lights to watch the Bank of China flicker in all its glory late at night, when the city twinkles to life.

Named after the emerald wetlands it stands watch over, Hotel Cozi Wetland is the ultimate getaway for those looking to reconnect with nature. Centred around the tranquillity of Hong Kong Wetland Park – an eco-reserve teeming with rare birds and wildlife – a number of the hotel’s rooms gaze over the sanctuary’s pools and paths. Given the Wetland Park itself is just an easy five-minute walk from the hotel, it’s an ideal choice for the outdoorsy staycationer. Hike and cycle around the park, or take a quick journey out to Mai Po Nature Reserve or Nam Sang Wai’s wetlands if you’re craving more wildlife.

The St. Regis chain has made a name for modern-day opulence, so it’s little surprise that the view from its Hong Kong outpost is just as grand. The hotel touts itself as a “curated mansion”, and its central location offers views over either the city or the harbour from its sumptuous rooms and suites. Look up when you splash around in the hotel’s outdoor pool to see the skyscrapers brushing up against the sky – which will hopefully be a bright blue for your stay.

Nestled near Hong Kong Park and the Botanical Gardens, these serviced apartments are surrounded by greenery - all in the heart of Hong Kong Island. Located just a few minutes’ walk from either green space, its views encapsulate the city’s multifaceted character: with tranquil green oases merging with pristine skyscrapers. The nice thing about this residence (aside from the views and spacious rooms) is that it’s just close enough to the city to be convenient – but far enough away that you’re not subject to its glorious chaos.
