The Best Places to Stay in Mount Gough & around

Victoria Harbour fills the windows of the classic rooms, and the city's social scene has been gravitating to the bars and restaurants here for longer than most guests have been alive. A grand full-service luxury hotel on Hong Kong Island, it holds a Forbes Five Star, a Michelin Key, and a spot on the World's 50 Best Hotels list. The Aubrey upstairs does the harbor view properly, and the spa runs two full floors.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Victoria Harbour from most rooms in this high-rise luxury hotel tucked into the International Finance Centre in Central. The mosaic-tiled outdoor infinity pools compete with that same view and mostly hold their own. Rooms run large by Hong Kong standards, finished in the kind of crisp, neutral calm that makes you forget you're in one of the densest cities on earth. A Forbes Five Star and a Michelin Key.

The check-in desk doesn't exist, which tells you something about this hotel's priorities. André Fu's design runs the full length of a Pacific Place tower, with rooms large enough to embarrass most Hong Kong apartments, limestone tubs, and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the skyline. The art collection runs to 400 pieces. Salisterra on the 49th floor handles Mediterranean food and harbour views. Ranked tenth on the World's 50 Best Hotels list.

Black wood floors greet you at check-in, and the rooms are reportedly the largest on Hong Kong Island, which helps explain the crowd of finance types who treat the place as a second address. This Forbes Five Star hotel in Central keeps only around 100 rooms, so the staff tends to learn your name fast. The spa spans two floors and the adjacent Landmark mall makes impulse shopping a structural hazard.

Foster + Partners took a late-1960s government office block, kept its signature recessed windows and white arched facade, and turned it into one of Central's most striking hotels. The 336 rooms average out as the largest in Hong Kong, lined in Calacatta marble with views over Hong Kong Park. Six dining and drinking spots include a rooftop Italian and a lobby bar worth lingering in. It holds a Michelin Key and a Forbes Four Star.

A 16-story glass atrium anchors this luxury hotel in Pacific Place, and inside it hangs a 167-foot silk painting called "The Great Motherland of China," which puts the lobby art at most hotels to shame. Rooms run large, with full-length harbor views, crystal chandeliers, and lacquered furniture that somehow doesn't clash with the bedside panel running everything. Seven restaurants mean you may never leave the building, which in Hong Kong summers, with the outdoor pool waiting, feels less like a failure and more like a plan.

Rooms start on the fortieth floor of a Pacific Place tower, so the views come standard at this full-service Admiralty hotel. The recent refurb leaned into gold, warm wood, and Asian artwork, which reads less gaudy than it sounds. A rooftop pool, massage suites, a steam room, and a solarium give the whole thing a country-retreat feel that the city center address does nothing to suggest.

Three MTR lines feed directly into the lobby, which tells you a lot about how this Admiralty tower hotel operates. Pacific Place, the mall it sits inside, handles the shopping and most of the hunger pangs, while the hotel's own roster of bars and restaurants covers the rest. Rooms skew toward the business traveler, but the location, a short ride from the Peak and Tai Kwun, makes leisure work just as well.

The rooms facing Victoria Harbour mean you can watch the skyline do its thing without leaving your bed. This mid-range hotel sits inside Harbour City along Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, so the Star Ferry, Ocean Terminal, and a sprawling luxury mall are all within a short walk. A courtyard pool and a lobby lounge serving afternoon tea give you reasons to stay put when the city gets to be a bit much.

The walls of this boutique hotel in Central are hung with Fan Ho's mid-century photographs of Hong Kong street life, which sets up an interesting tension with the floor-to-ceiling windows and their unbroken views of one of the world's most restless skylines. Rooms are elegant and properly quiet given the address. Two in-house restaurants handle Italian with an Eastern slant and high-end East Asian, so you rarely need to leave.
