14 Best Hotels in Hong Kong for Stunning Views

Hong Kong boasts the highest concentration of skyscrapers in the world, with thousands of buildings towering over 10 stories. The city's impressive skyline can overwhelm visitors, but sometimes all you need is a seat by the hotel window to absorb the breathtaking view.

Whether you're in a luxurious five-star resort or a budget-friendly hostel, from presidential suites to cozy rented apartments, you’re bound to have a view worth sharing with friends the moment you arrive.

Here are 14 of the best hotels to consider when booking your stay:

1. Hotel Icon

This exceptional five-star hotel is owned by Hong Kong Polytechnic University and serves as both a research hub and a training facility for its School of Hotel and Tourism Management.

Guests are drawn to this hotel for its stylish Tesla limousines, exclusive club floor, and award-winning dining experiences. But the real highlight is the breathtaking views from the rooms, restaurants, and especially the pool deck and gym.

2. InterContinental Hong Kong

Situated along the Kowloon side of Victoria Harbour, the InterContinental Hong Kong offers some of the most stunning views of the city. From here, you’ll have an unparalleled view of the Hong Kong Island skyline and the nightly laser light show.

3. Hyatt Regency Sha Tin

The Hyatt Regency in Sha Tin is the first internationally recognized hotel in Hong Kong’s New Territories.

Located next to The Chinese University of Hong Kong, the hotel is surrounded by students and families, but it’s the stunning views of Tolo Harbor, the Kau To Shan mountains, and Sha Tin Racecourse that truly stand out.

4. Lanson Place Hotel

Nestled in Causeway Bay, a vibrant shopping district bustling with locals and tourists, the charming Lanson Place Hotel offers views of Victoria Park on one side, and trendy high-rises and hills on the other.

Look closely and you’ll spot Hong Kong Stadium, the venue for the city’s iconic Rugby Sevens tournament.

5. Mandarin Oriental

Since opening its doors in 1963, the Mandarin Oriental has remained one of the most iconic five-star hotels in Hong Kong.

If you're planning to relax in a bath filled with rose petals, there's no better backdrop than the gleaming skyscrapers of Central's commercial district and the picturesque harbor beyond.

6. Airbnb

While not all Airbnb properties offer five-star luxury, many still provide incredible views at a more affordable price.

Airbnb offers countless options in the city, but few rival the views of the Happy Valley racecourse. In some homes, you can watch the horses race by from the comfort of your own apartment.

7. The Park Lane Hong Kong

The Park Lane Hong Kong boasts expansive views of Victoria Harbour, with the most spectacular panorama available from its rooftop bar, The Deck.

Perfectly situated to explore Causeway Bay, the hotel also enjoys a tranquil spot across from Victoria Park, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

8. The Peninsula Hong Kong

The Peninsula Hong Kong is the oldest hotel in the city, having opened its doors in 1928.

It quickly earned the title of the “Grande Dame of the Far East,” a symbol of the city that blends Eastern and Western hospitality. Over 80 years later, the views of Hong Kong Island and the harbor are still as breathtaking as ever.

9. YMCA The Salisbury

The view at YMCA The Salisbury, while not as prestigious as The Peninsula, offers a similar perspective at a much more affordable price right next door.

This 372-room hotel features several suites, with the standout being the 530-square-foot Harbour View suite. It accommodates four guests and offers million-dollar views without the high-end price tag.

10. EAST Hong Kong, Quarry Bay

In the past decade, Quarry Bay has transformed more than any other district in Hong Kong, evolving from a residential neighborhood to the city’s media and business hub.

EAST Hong Kong embraces this shift, offering sweeping views of the eastern Victoria Harbour, particularly from its rooftop bar, Sugar.

11. Silvermine Beach Resort, Lantau Island

Lantau is Hong Kong’s largest island and home to the city’s airport, but in the quiet village of Mui Wo, it feels like a world away.

At Silvermine Beach Resort, the view of the beach is occasionally interrupted by a herd of wild buffalo on their morning stroll, offering a peaceful contrast to the neon lights and hustle of Hong Kong Island.

12. Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong

Located on the upper floors of the International Commerce Center in Kowloon, from the 102nd to the 118th floor, the Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong holds the title of the world’s highest hotel.

Each of the 312 rooms offers breathtaking views of the city and harbor, with the rooftop bar, Ozone, perched a cool 490 meters above ground, offering an unrivaled perspective.

13. Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong

Set within the 56-story Pacific Place, the Island Shangri-La is the brand’s flagship hotel in Hong Kong. Enjoy expansive harbor views, ideal for the city’s spectacular fireworks displays, as well as stunning vistas toward Victoria Peak from the other side.

The top-floor Petrus Restaurant, helmed by Ricardo Chaneton, offers a dining experience like no other, where the view is just as impressive as the food.

14. Jockey Club Mt. Davis Youth Hostel

This unassuming youth hostel on Mount Davis provides striking sunset views that take you by surprise.

With panoramic sights towards the Tsing Ma Bridge and the bustling shipping lanes, this spot offers a unique perspective on the city. You can even catch a glimpse of the nightly fireworks display from Hong Kong Disneyland in the distance.
