Best for savvy socialites £ £ OVOLO CENTRAL


Clockwise from top left: The marble lobby at The Langham; Asaya’s urban garden at Rosewood Hong Kong; a classy guest room at Ovolo Central


Occupying a skinny skyscraper on Central’s Arbuthnot Road, this welcoming property is minutes from Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong’s entertainment district. It’s also beside the more subdued delights of Tai Kwun, a century-old policing complex converted into a drinking, dining and cultural precinct. Though amiable service means the hotel remains relaxed, the Ovolo readily supports guests who want to get into the party spirit. Book direct and you’re free to plunder the in- room mini-bar — with snacks, soft drinks and booze all included — plus there’s a daily happy hour when drinks are again complimentary. Overdone it the night before? Rest up in the fuss-free, studio apartment-style bedrooms or replenish with nourishing Indian dishes at Veda, one of the few exclusively vegetarian restaurants you’ll find in this meat-loving city. ROOMS: From HK$1,800 (£190), B&B. ovolohotels.com


Best for all-out


extravagance £ £ £ ROSEWOOD HONG KONG


As the scion of a local billionaire-class family, Rosewood Hotels’ CEO Sonia Cheng was always going to go all out with the brand’s flagship property in her home city. This Kowloon retreat shows what ‘spare no expense’ means in reality. Bedrooms feature walls woven with wool from upmarket Italian brand Loro Piana, cobalt-blue couches and lacquered cabinetry; bathrooms are clad in marble and finished with touches of copper. And there’s plenty of soul on show, too — Cantonese restaurant The Legacy House pays tribute to the Cheng family with private rooms themed around the dynasty’s key milestones. Attentive staff are accustomed to serving Hong Kong high society; amenities including bars, restaurants, spa and flash fitness facilities mean locals, as well as tourists, love the hotel. ROOMS: From HK$7,900 (£830), plus a 10% service charge, B&B. rosewoodhotels.com
