More about hotels in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a city where glass towers throw shadows on incense-filled temples, and food stalls share space with flagship stores. It’s sky-high, street-level, east-meets-west all at once. You’ll feel it in every tram ride, bowl of wonton noodles, and mountain-view rooftop. Whether you’re ducking into a design hotel in Central, or waking to sea air in Stanley, Hong Kong matches its fast-paced energy with somewhere to sleep it all off. Just land, pick your pace and let Traveloka do the rest.
Where to stay in Hong Kong
- Central: Skyscrapers, harbour views, heritage buildings and rooftop bars. It’s Hong Kong in high definition and is perfect for first-timers and anyone who likes their city stay polished.
- Tsim Sha Tsui (TST): Harbour views, mega malls and a museum or three. This Kowloon hub is part postcard, part playground, and is a classic Hong Kong base where everything is at your doorstep.
- Mong Kok: Loud, proud, and all the dim sum you can eat. Mong Kok’s for market lovers, late sleepers, and anyone after full-sensory Hong Kong.
- Wan Chai: By day, it’s business suits and wet markets. By night, it flips to bars, izakayas and live jazz. It’s the city’s ultimate in-between.
- Lantau Island: For temples, treks and beaches, Lantau’s your move. Big Buddha, Tai O fishing village and Disneyland are all within ferry distance.
How much are Hong Kong hotels?
It’s easy to assume Hong Kong equals pricy pads. But scroll a little deeper and you’ll find gems for all budgets. From skyline suites to snug hostels above noodle shops, you can land a sweet deal with the right filters. On average, hotel stays here cost around AU$180 a night, but Traveloka helps you filter by budget, location, and what matters most – and great bonuses like free breakfast or a rooftop pool.
- Hostels: From AU$30 per night. Bunk up near the MTR and dive into dumplings, central stays and late check-ins. Handy for solo types and night owls.
- Budget guesthouses: From AU$70 per night. Tiny rooms, but with big location wins. Bonus, if there’s a cha chaan teng diner serving up milk tea and pineapple, tarts a door or two up.
- Mid-range hotels: From AU$140 per night. Design details, congee-and-croissant breakfasts, and views that remind you why you picked Hong Kong.
- Luxury hotels: From AU$300 per night. Expect spa access, harbour panoramas, and club lounges that pour free bubbles.
Top-rated hotels in Hong Kong
- Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel: Grand staircases, sea breezes, and Disney characters dropping by at the breakfast buffet. Stay here if your idea of downtime includes a six-storey lobby, lakeside gardens, and a daily dose of magic right next to Disneyland Hong Kong.
- Cordis, Hong Kong: A 42-floor tower above Mong Koh, with a Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant, rooftop pool and spa. Good if you want luxe but local, combined with easy MTR access and dumplings around the corner.
- Royal Plaza Hotel: Big rooms. Bigger breakfast buffet. And a location that drops you next to Kowloon’s markets and trains. Bonus: it's a 40-metre pool, Cantonese fine dining and electric car chargers out front.
- Disney’s Hollywood Hotel: Palm trees, piano-shaped pool, and enough Marvel murals to keep the whole crew wide-eyed. It’s got retro movie vibes, free shuttles to the park, and rooms that bring the stories home.
Tips for finding the perfect hotel in Hong Kong
- Avoid the gridlock weeks: Prices (and queues) climb during Lunar New Year, Golden Week and big expos. For smoother days and sharper rates, try March-May or September–November.
- Let the filters do the legwork: Chasing a pool, MTR station, or yum cha buffet? Traveloka’s filters get you straight to the good stuff, minus the scroll fatigue.
- Match your base to your plans: Clubbing in Wan Chai? Museum-hopping in TST? Skip long MTR rides and choose a stay that suits your daily moves.
- Know your room stats: Because a ‘double’ might actually mean a tight squeeze for two. Check photos, bed type and square metre size if you’re packing heavy or bunking with mates.
- Don’t wait to book: Big exhibitions, long weekends, or Disney-bound families can make availability vanish fast. Snag your spot early to skip the last-minute panic booking and a disappointing result.
