Sleep with a view

Mandarin Oriental and The Harbourview

What better way to immerse yourself in a city than to arrive to a breathtaking view of the Hong Kong skyline and Victoria Harbour? The luxurious Mandarin Oriental caters to every need, with first-class service, a choice of nine (!) different restaurants and bars, and an excellent spa. As an alternative, the more affordable but equally modern The Harbourview offers excellent views and is the ideal base for excursions.

 

Art to marvel at

Museum of Art and Tai Kwun

Discover Hong Kong's rich cultural history at the Museum of Art, home to a collection of Chinese art and works by international artists. For a glimpse of the younger art scene, head to Tai Kwun, a revitalised cultural centre in a former prison complex.

 

A view worth a thousand words

The Peak

The mountains of Hong Kong Island are not just for hikers. A visit to Victoria Peak, colloquially known as The Peak, is a must for any visitor to Hong Kong. Take the historic Peak Tram to the top and enjoy breathtaking views of the skyline, islands and harbour from the viewing platform.
