More photosHotel The Fleming, located in the heart of Wan Chai, is a boutique gem that masterfully captures Hong Kong’s maritime soul. Originally opened in 2006, the property underwent a complete transformation in 2017 led by the local design firm Substance. Their vision turned the hotel into a nostalgic tribute to the city’s 1970s industrial era and the iconic green-and-white Star Ferry.
The design details are remarkable, featuring deep red, blue, and bottle-green palettes paired with warm teak wood and brushed brass. Every element—from the porthole mirrors and rounded cabin-style doors to the custom signage—feels like a nod to a ship. Even the “do not disturb” signs are unique, mimicking an engine order telegraph that you can manually swivel.
The hotel’s ground floor hosts Osteria Marzia, a popular Italian restaurant that perfectly complements the nautical aesthetic with its buoy-shaped lanterns and ocean-blue tiles. It is a fantastic spot to grab a bite after exploring the surrounding Wan Chai district, which balances traditional heritage sites with modern high-end shopping and vibrant nightlife.
Positioned on Fleming Road, the hotel offers easy access to major city landmarks. Guests are just a short trip away from the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and the bustling Star Ferry terminals. Whether you are a design enthusiast or just looking for a character-filled stay, this hotel provides an authentic, immersive look at Hong Kong’s storied relationship with the sea.
Expert reviews
“After a beast of a renovation, The Fleming boutique hotel re-emerged in Wan Chai late 2017 with a new look, inspired by the green-and-white cross-harbor ferries. The design features contemporary maritime accents, such as porthole-like mirrors, industrial lamps and navy-striped rugs.”
“In a hotel landscape dominated by somewhat predictable business behemoths, this medium-sized boutique hotel stands out for its meticulously thought-out concept and its strong sense of place.”

Amazing staff, warm and welcoming. The transatlantic liner design of rooms is a must.

Perfect for a City Trip
Cool hotel in a great location. It is close to a metro station and walking distance to one of the star ferry ports. Our room was spacious and clean. The bathroom had nice smelling body products.
The bathroom was quite dark.

Great hotel for exploring Hong Kong
The hotel is well situated for public transport. There are 2 MTR stations within 5 minutes walk. You can also walk for the Star Ferry (less than 10 minutes) and the tram. Good shops and restaurants also within easy reach. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was my birthday during our stay and they were kind enough to arrange a gift and card which was lovely.
The room was a good size with a comfortable large bed. The bathroom was great and good shower. Appreciated the coffee machine in the room. There was minimal traffic noise and the location although central is quite quiet. Would definitely return. Also the Italian restaurant below the hotel is really good!
Nothing at all

Perfect Hong Kong stay for couples
Location was perfect. The hotel itself was beautiful, really classically designed and everything was just perfect. Perhaps the best hotel bed we slept in ever!
Nothing, loved everything

Stylish hotel and away from the bustle
I enjoyed my stay with The Fleming - loved the style of the hotel, it's spaciousness, and it's location. It's near some famous eateries in Hong Kong, and also near to the MTR, bus and tram stops (and even the ferry too). I also liked that the general area is quiet enough, which is good after a long day with the crowd. The hotel is also near to the bay area which I used for jogging.

Superb hotel, thoughtful design and decoration which leaves a memorable impression of Hong Kong
The room was superbly designed and decorated to leave a lasting impression of Hong Kong and a refreshing change to the usual corporate city hotels. The Dining was exceptional and location proved to be ideal as a base to visit all key attractions.
Limited assortment/variety of in-room coffee/ tea in the room as standard - ( no milk etc )

Amazing and classy home
It is to the level that I admire the quality of toilet paper they use. This is a top notch hotel. They do nothing over the top but everything is just right. It was also lovely they celebrated my birthday even when it was my first stay with them.

Overall a good time
Hotel room is cute. There was a slight steampunk vibe to the decor and design of the room. Overall a good time but I would try to stay elsewhere next time.
The snacks and drinks in the room were not clearly labeled with their prices. The hotel had construction outside. The lobby was on the 2nd floor.

Other Hong Kong hotels
The Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong
Opened in 1928, The Peninsula Hong Kong is affectionately known as the "Grande Dame of the Far East." As the flagship property of The Peninsula Hotels group, this Tsim Sha Tsui landmark remains a symbol of colonial-era grandeur combined with modern luxury. Its distinctive Italianate architecture has made it an iconic fixture of the Kowloon waterfront for nearly a century.
Lonely Planet + 3 more“Lording it over the southern tip of Kowloon, Hong Kong’s finest hotel exudes colonial elegance. Many rooms in the 20-storey annexe offer spectacular harbour views; in the original building you’ll have to make do with the glorious interiors.”
The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong
The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, is an architectural marvel occupying the 102nd to 118th floors of the iconic International Commerce Centre (ICC) in West Kowloon. Often cited as one of the world's highest hotels, it offers guests an unmatched perspective of the city from high above the clouds. The tower itself was designed by the American architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates.
Fodors + 3 more“From the world’s highest hotel, perching on the 102nd through the 118th floors of the ICC skyscraper in West Kowloon, every large and luxurious guest room enjoys a stupendous vantage point.”

Regent, Hong Kong
If you’re planning a stay in Hong Kong and you want a bit of luxury with stellar views, the Regent Hong Kong is definitely one to consider. Located right on the water at 18 Salisbury Road in Kowloon, it boasts those iconic vistas of Victoria Harbour and the skyline beyond.
CN Traveler + 2 more“If you were any closer to Victoria Harbor your feet would be wet. The Regent’s views are phenomenal, looking across from the Kowloon side of the water towards Hong Kong Island in all its sparkly glory.”
Hotel Indigo, Hong Kong
Hotel Indigo Hong Kong Island, located in the vibrant Wan Chai district, is a masterpiece of modern architecture designed by the firm Aedas. Its most striking feature is a dramatic, shimmering "golden dragon" wrapping around the building’s exterior. This isn’t just for show; the burnished bronze solar fins serve as an intelligent "eco-screen" that minimizes heat and solar gain while mirroring the traditional cultural symbolism of dragons in search of a pearl.
New York Times + 2 more”Conveniently located in Wan Chai, the 138-room Hotel Indigo has a bright, locally inspired décor—goldfish pillows, Chinese lanterns–along with a glass-bottom, rooftop pool cantilevered over the bustling sidewalks 29 floors below.”
