Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

5 Connaught Rd Central, Central, Hong Kong (show on map)

The Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, stands as a legendary icon in the heart of Central. Since opening in 1963, this flagship property has defined luxury in Asia, famously becoming the first hotel in the region to feature a bathtub in every room and direct-dial telephones. When it first debuted, its “space-age” elevators were a sensation, whisking guests to the top in just 21 seconds.

Designed by architect John Howarth of Leigh & Orange, the hotel’s interiors were crafted by Don Ashton, a film art director known for *The Bridge on the River Kwai*. This cinematic influence shines through in its sophisticated, timeless aesthetic. Over the decades, it has evolved into a cultural institution, blending colonial history with modern Asian elegance.

The hotel is a culinary destination in its own right, home to nine celebrated restaurants and bars. Guests can enjoy everything from the Michelin-starred Cantonese cuisine at Man Wah to the eccentric Japanese izakaya vibes at The Aubrey, located on the 25th floor with stunning harbour views. The iconic Mandarin Cake Shop and the historic, wood-paneled Chinnery Bar remain local favorites.

Its prime location in Central puts the best of the city within easy reach. The iconic Peak Tram, which transports visitors to the heights of Victoria Peak, is just a short journey away. You are also steps from the Star Ferry, a classic way to experience the harbor, and the revitalized Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and Arts, which offers a deep dive into the city’s colonial past.

Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“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.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Hong Kong.

Fodors review:

“Hong Kong’s most famous hotel has lost none of its opulence, colonial charm, and shine over the past 50 years and is still known for spacious and luxurious accommodations and impeccable service.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Hong Kong.

Forbes review:

“Who knew a luxury hotel in one of Asia’s most dynamic metropolises could pull off small-town virtues? Lucky for its guests, Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong prides itself on a tradition of longstanding service (it opened in 1963), so visitors may find themselves greeted today by the staff member who welcomed them 10 years ago.”

Telegraph review:

“The Mandarin Oriental has been at the heart of Hong Kong, both socially and geographically, since 1963. With its faultless service, fantastic location, effervescent atmosphere, superb spa and some of the most gorgeous dining rooms in Asia, it channels the city’s glamorous past and present like no other.”

Loved it, any area I need to stop that has a Manderin Hotel I will be booking in.

From the moment the door man opened the door for us & we checked in at 8-30am after a flight from The UK to be told our room is ready for us & we can go up & use it, no come back at 3pm like most hotels. The place is spotless I mean super clean. All staff have impecable manners,A big shout to the mature doorman who slips you a nice bottle of water when your getting a taxi from outside the hotel. The reason for our trip was to see our daughter who works in Hong Kong & now this will be our go to hotel for meeting up with her. 8 days of bliss.

Cocktail bar could be crazy roudy at times £12-00 for a pint of guinness is OTT, when you have to get them to let it settle & not just fill the tankered ( they dont use glasses) to the top in a single pour.

A real treat and very well treated

The Mandorin was very convenient, room is sensational quality with a very comfortable bed. A la carte breakfast was a real winner. Jadee at the concierge desk was super friendly and helpful and arranged a wonderful Peking Duck dinner for us. Thanks to all of the lovely staff.

Better than expected and a wonderful way to end our month long trip through Southeast Asia.

Breakfast in both restaurants was excellent in choice and quality The spa and fitness area were superb with great equipment steam and sauna and jacuzzi. The spa staff went out of there way to make our use wonderful. The. Concierge staff was the best that I have ever ever encountered- attentive and willing to help in any way possible.

Unfortunately there is a lot of construction in front of the hotel that takes away a lot from the view

Nice to do it once as it’s an iconic hotel, but would spend the money and book a newer hotel next time. Save the money a

Iconic hotel in a central location. Rooms are big and breakfast amazing. Staff were lovely.

I spent extra for a harbour view room. Because they put us on a low floor I could see the harbour but had to look at a dodgy car park and ferris wheel. We had to listen to the highway traffic all night too. Also some of their bars and restaurants don’t open Sunday and the ones open were booked out so we had to eat elsewhere . Rooms need a renovation.

Wonderful

Wonderful hotel near to everything

We had the club king room so it was nice to go and have a drink or eat something quick there . The only problem was that at 7 PM one of the male staff kept telling everyone - We close at 7 , we close at 7. This is something that I never experienced , it was just wrong . Also one of the evenings they didn’t had Margarita glasses so they brought the Margarita in some whisky glass . Really ? In a 5 star hotel ?

Exceptional in more ways than one

Very convenient location right by Central station. Wonderfully friendly staff. Loved my junior suite interior and decor. Comfortable bedding, great water pressure in the shower. Much attention paid to the comfort of guest for the turn-down service as well.

Breakfast was very mediocre and the lobby feels old. Couldn't find in-room dining menu. The QR code only showed mini bar menu. There also wasn't much of a view at the junior suite (was facing another building close by).

Location is perfect. The soft product is also very good.

The incheck process in the business lounge was very convenient. Breakfast was good but nothing really special. Location was very good. The neighbourhood was nice to walk in. Also a lot of restaurant choices and stores nearby. The Man Wah restaurant was so so. Nice atmosphere but the food is nothing special.

The Man wah needs an other chef. The atmosphere is good but the food is nothing special. So do not go there because there are a lot better option close to the hotel.

I want to go back at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel before the year ends.

Superb breakfast. Everything is excellent. The cleanliness of the room, an accommodating and cheerful staff, a housekeeper who always checks that you still have a bottled water or new set of towels are all worth of what you paid for. Very good location for shopping too.

None. Everything is perfect.
