Their 361 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites are complemented by the great view of the Kowloon Bay (don’t forget to request a room on a higher floor).

Take a little detour from central Hong Kong to stay at the charming Southside hotel and explore art and culture in the area.

A local collective has daubed the corridors with graffiti art while Los Angeles art duo Cyrcle has creat­ed huge murals across the rooftop and indoors.
