The Best Places in Wan Chai District

Tulip-shaped chairs, peony motifs, and larger-than-life wooden lanterns set the tone at this 89-room Wan Chai boutique hotel, whose look borrows from a Chinese fairytale about the Moon Goddess and her Jade Rabbit. Marcel Wanders designed the interiors, and the result is somewhere between Dutch modernism and a Far Eastern storybook, with marble stand-alone tubs and a quiet secret garden tucked inside a neighborhood better known for other kinds of nightlife.

Causeway Bay rents reportedly rival Fifth Avenue, which tells you something about the neighborhood's energy and nothing calming about it. Lanson Place is a serviced apartment-style hotel that sits neatly between boutique posturing and corporate beige, all pared-down whites and neutrals, with work desks, loaner smartphones, and kitchenettes, though with hundreds of restaurants within a two-minute walk, that last amenity may go largely admired.

Bathtubs positioned to face the harbor view say something about a hotel's priorities. Little Tai Hang is a boutique stay tucked between Causeway Bay and the Tung Lo Wan hills, dressed in British mid-century interiors with a library off the lobby and full-wall windows in the rooms. Three restaurants sit downstairs, a temple stands next door, and there's no pool or spa, which leaves more time to wander a neighborhood most visitors speed past.

Bare concrete, raw stone, and metal are doing all the decorating at this boutique hotel tucked behind an unmarked facade in Tin Hau. While the rest of the neighborhood buzzes, TUVE stays cool and minimal inside, the kind of place that considers a Le Labo bathroom and a well-curated minibar sufficient warmth. For anyone who finds chintz exhausting, it probably is.

Ginza-style bartending on the 16th floor of Causeway Bay, which means precise, minimal, unhurried. Madara is a Japanese craft-cocktail bar where the drinks pull from fresh fruit, tea, and, in at least one case, Shakespeare. The bartender behind Takumi Mixology Salon opened this, and the tea work is worth the visit on its own, bancha and mugi shochu turning quietly serious in the glass.
