The Olympian Hotel, Hong Kong
More photosThe Olympian Hong Kong is a stylish boutique hotel tucked away in the heart of West Kowloon. Since opening in 2016, it has offered a serene, high-end escape from the city’s usual hustle. With only 32 rooms, the property provides an intimate atmosphere that feels more like a private residence than a busy transit hotel.
The design philosophy is a fascinating blend of modern comfort and traditional motifs. You will notice subtle Chinese influences throughout the space, such as peony-inspired artwork and elegant lighting reminiscent of classic lanterns. The warm palette of hardwood floors and soft velvet furniture creates a sophisticated, “neo-primitive” aesthetic designed to help guests feel completely at home.
Location-wise, it is incredibly convenient for both business and leisure. It sits just a short walk from the Olympic MTR station, making it easy to zip into Central or explore the bustling streets of Tsim Sha Tsui. The hotel is situated right next to the massive Olympian City shopping complex, which is perfect for picking up necessities or grabbing a quick, delicious meal.
For those looking to explore, you are within easy reach of the West Kowloon Cultural District, a premier hub for arts and performances. Whether you are hunting for local dim sum or looking for a quiet moment away from the neon lights, this hotel serves as a perfect, calm base for your Hong Kong adventure.
Expert reviews
“Room-to-roam apartment-style living in a city where space is at a serious premium. Convenient to the airport and Kowloon’s attractions, it’s a luxuriant, calm oasis amid the Hong Kong hubbub, and surprisingly affordable.”
“This boutique hotel stands out for its 32 rooms, which are Olympian in size, with an opulent feel and high-quality fittings. It is a little out of the way on the edge of Kowloon but suits those looking for somewhere quiet to spend a few days, with space to spread out and relax.”

Tuve Hotel, Hong Kong
Tuve Hotel, located in the Tin Hau district, is a striking example of minimalist design in Hong Kong. Opened in 2015, the hotel was designed by the local studio Design Systems and is famously inspired by the winter landscapes of Lake Tuve in Sweden. Its facade is intentionally nondescript, clad in black bronze with no apparent signage, creating a sense of "joyful uncertainty" for guests arriving for the first time.
New York Times + 2 more”The 66-room Tuve Hotel is bringing boutique chic to the gentrifying neighborhood of Tin Hau. The design is minimalist, using gray-toned raw materials like concrete, marble, steel and glass, with unique touches like the desk-minibar-in-a-box combo unit to save space.”

Frommers + 3 more“This hotel has been a landmark in Central since 1963, which makes it ancient in this ever-changing city. It’s a perfect blend of updated facilities with retro charm, evident in its timeless lobby, clubby Captain’s Bar that looks the same as it did 50 years ago, and trademark restaurants like the venerable Mandarin Grill and Man Wah.”
