The Best Airbnbs and Vacation Rentals in Hong Kong
Whether you’re in Hong Kong to do some work, or scoff some dim sum, the territory’s overwhelmingly urban feel means you’ll appreciate a cosy base that feels like home. Hong Kong’s vacation rentals offer accommodation with more character – and often a bit more space – than your standard hotel room, while amenities such as kitchenettes and laundry facilities make things convenient. Discover some of the Hong Kong’s most sought after rental apartments and book your next stay right here on Culture Trip.
Eaton Residences, Wan Chai Gap Road
Serviced Apartment
Conveniently situated in Hong Kong’s Wan Chai neighborhood, the two beautiful two-person apartments in this mini-block are both decorated in calming earth tones, each with comfy, stylish sofas, a sleek, designer kitchenette and a dining table for two. You’ll also have access to a fitness area and other communal zones, not to mention a location a short walk from Hong Kong’s subway system and lots of shopping and dining options.
The Jervois
Boutique Hotel, Hotel
If you’re craving a taste of downtown action, you won’t get much more central than The Jervois. Located in Hong Kong’s Central District, steps from the metro as well as heaps of shopping and dining options, the two suites on offer (one sleeping two, and the other a two-bedroom suite sleeping four) feel sleek and contemporary, with framed illustration prints hanging on the walls, a monochrome colour palette and jaw-dropping views of the city’s glittering skyscrapers.
Two MacDonnell Road
Apartment
Plonked on a leafy hill at the edge of Hong Kong’s central district, Two MacDonnell Road has some of the best views of downtown Hong Kong and the harbour. The spacious, airy studios and suites (sleeping up to three), stick to a strict white-and-shades-of-cream colour palette, and feature marble-trimmed bathrooms, cleverly partitioned living areas and simple, modern kitchens giving off chic penthouse vibes. For even better views, the Victoria Peak tram is just an eight-minute walk away.
Lux Harbour View One-Bedroom Suite
Short-term Rental
Wake up to a view of Victoria Harbour from your pillow at this luxurious one-bedroom apartment on the western side of buzzing Mong Kok. The 24-square-metre (260-square-foot) condo is located just five minute’s walk from the Olympic MTR station and is surrounded by high-end cafés, restaurant and bars — but with vistas this good, you might never want to leave your bed.
Designer Studio Loft
Short-term Rental
From the rain shower and LCD TV in the bathroom to the Bose entertainment system wired into the living area, this ultra-modern apartment oozes class. Close to Causeway Bay and Hong Kong’s iconic Happy Valley Racecourse, the spacious 56-square-metre (600-square-foot) loft is well connected to the rest of the city by public transport, including the tram just one block away.
Relaxing deluxe farm stay
Short-term Rental
Hong Kong isn’t all skyscrapers and studio apartments, as this leafy-green farm stay attests. The property is a 9,300-square-metre (100,000-square-foot) farm that produces organic vegetables, and you can book one of two laid-back country homes — the River Lodge and the Mountain Lodge — which each accommodate up to six guests. The host can also organise day trips to central Hong Kong, a 30-minute drive away.
