About the Resort
A Central harbourfront icon
Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong is the Central harbourfront landmark — a hotel that has stood at 5 Connaught Road since 1963 and is woven into the life of Hong Kong Island, named among the World's 50 Best Hotels and holding a Michelin Key. Its rooms look out over Victoria Harbour or the city through floor-to-ceiling windows, with Bang & Olufsen sound, butler service and marble baths, and the hotel is being renewed through the ongoing Tomorrow's CENTRAL transformation. The dining is a Central institution in its own right: Man Wah for Michelin Cantonese with harbour views, the Mandarin Grill and Bar, the 25th-floor Aubrey izakaya, Daniel Boulud's rooftop Terrace Boulud, and afternoon tea at the Clipper Lounge. The three-storey Mandarin Spa draws on Shanghainese and Chinese tradition, with an indoor counter-current pool. There is no beach — this is the heart of Central — a walk from IFC, the Star Ferry and the Peak Tram, with the Symphony of Lights across the water. The Central icon.
