The most romantic hotels in Hong Kong

Ask anyone in the city for one of the best luxury hotels to stay in and Four Seasons always come to mind. The hotel's rooms showcase the best views of Victoria Harbour and The Peak, and its location is conveniently located smack in the middle of Central and linked to the IFC shopping mall. If you have a discerning palate and enjoy fine dining cuisine, Four Seasons is a destination worth considering because of its Michelin-starred restaurants – French restaurant Caprice and Chinese restaurant Lung King Heen. The most impressive highlight of the hotel is the several swimming pools, which include a picturesque infinity pool that appears to spill into Victoria Harbour. Between all the complimentary in-room activities and luxurious amenities, there are so many things for you and your significant other to enjoy. 

Ideally situated in Sai Kung, couples looking for an extended stay in the 'back garden of Hong Kong' can now enjoy proper hotel accommodation at WM Hotel. Snuggle up in any of their signature guestrooms showcasing balconies with immense sea views and a private garden. The hotel’s location is a five-minute walking distance to Sha Ha Beach, so you can also soak up the sun and get some tan.

Located in the centre of Tsim Sha Tsui, the eco-friendly Hotel Icon is a welcome respite from the sensory overload of the city's busy streets. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by the hotel's stylish contemporary surrounding and a gorgeous vertical garden that adorns the lobby. We recommend booking one of the many rooms with views of Victoria Harbour and don't forget to check out the hotel's Michelin-recommended Above & Beyond restaurant, which serves up some of the most refined Cantonese food in Hong Kong. 

Rosewood Hong Kong is one of the newer hotels on the Kowloon side, located just a few steps from the posh cultural-retail destination K11 Musea. Book accommodation here if you’re looking for an ultraluxe experience. The rooms and suites here scream sophistication with an aristocratic air. Splurge for a Harbour View Suite to enjoy magnificent views of the harbour and Hong Kong skyline and take long hot baths at the marbled bathrooms featuring twin vanities, twin showers, and a freeform bathtub. And if you’re looking for excellent dining experiences, Rosewood Hong Kong offers nine dining concepts, including one of the toughest restaurants to book in town, Chaat, and one of Asia’s best bars, DarkSide.   

Occupying the top 16 floors of the International Commerce Centre – the tallest building in Hong Kong – the Ritz-Carlton offers luxury in all its decadent touches. From the spectacular view of the Hong Kong skyline, luxurious rooms, plush beds with 400 to 600-thread count linens, modern in-room amenities, fine Italian dining at Michelin-starred Tosca di Angelo, a stylish indoor pool, gym, and a top-notch spa, the hotel provides an ultimate experience for your luxe romantic stay. 

Conveniently located in the shopping paradise of Causeway Bay, Mira Moon is the funky younger sister to TST’s The Mira hotel. Paying homage to the moon goddess Chang’e and her sole companion, the jade rabbit, the décor of this design-driven hotel is decidedly maximalist, but in a Chinoiserie-meets-Alice-in-Wonderland way, that’s charmingly kitschy rather than tacky. The rooms are comfortable and stylish, with intricately carved dark wood furniture, peony-themed soft furnishings, and a bathtub that comes with marble holders for Champagne glasses.

Pacific Place might literally be surrounded by five-star hotels, but there's no doubt that The Upper House is the coolest kid on the block. The rooms here offer cosy accommodations that evoke the warmth and comfort of home in ultra-modern, Asian-influenced design. With its spacious rooms, stunning views, and fantastic restaurants, it is an undeniably chic boutique hotel experience. While The Upper House doesn't have a standalone spa, you can request in-room spa treatments – which are all the more romantic. 

Situated in the heart of Central, this grande dame is the queen of Hong Kong Island, and it shows. Traditional Chinese design sensibilities meet Western amenities in the spacious rooms, overlooking either Victoria Harbour or the Central cityscape. Make the most of the stunning views by having breakfast in bed or enjoying in-room gourmet meals from Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant Man Wah, Mandarin Grill + Bar, or Japanese izakaya The Aubrey. 

The palatial Peninsula is the oldest and swankiest hotel in Hong Kong and is the rare combination of lovingly preserved heritage and state-of-the-art technology. It's played host to some of the biggest celebrities in modern history, is home to one of Hong Kong's most famous afternoon tea, and has the most deluxe facilities around (including a helicopter pad and fleet of Rolls-Royces). Between the elegant peach blossom-patterned accommodation, seven world-class restaurants, and 12,000sq ft spa, you and your loved one can enjoy one of the most lavish, romantic stay this city has to offer.

The Fleming's mid-century nautical-themed décor pays homage to the city’s beloved ferry with dark wood panelling, circular windows and mirrors, striped upholstery, and bottle-green tiling. If you and your loved one absolutely must take a break from rocking the boat (so to speak), we recommend dining at the hotel’s Black Sheep-run trattoria, Osteria Marzia, which specialises in coastal Italian fare (Lady and the Tramp-style spaghetti sharing optional).

Housed in a 1960s government building designed by Ron Phillips and newly renovated by Norman Foster, the Murray is a treat for architecture buffs who’ll no doubt ooh and aah over the heat-reducing recessed windows, beautiful arches and energy-efficient design. The rooms are kitted out in earth-toned furnishings in natural textiles and stone, as well as modern technological flourishes – we particularly like the glass bathroom door, which becomes frosted at the touch of a button. Additionally, The Murray may be the most conveniently located hotel for couples, being only a stone’s throw from the Peak Tram and the Cotton Tree Drive Marriage Registry.

Perched on top of a hill at the famed Tai O fishing village, the Tai O Heritage Hotel provides a perfectly picturesque and distraction-free setting for couples looking to escape from the hullabaloo of city life. Eat under the stars (because they're actually visible here) at the glass-roofed Tai O Lookout, wander through the eponymous fishing village, or spend the entirety of your stay behind closed doors – we're not here to judge. For those marking a special occasion, a celebration package that includes complimentary meals, bubbly, and cake is available.
