Boutique and Luxury Hotels Hong Kong

Re-issuing Hong Kong with the empty-paragraph trick:

Hong Kong — region page

Hong Kong is the most densely vertical place on earth, and one of the most surprising once you stop looking up. Seven million people on a hundred and ten square miles of granite, broken into a Central business district that out-skylines Manhattan, the harbour that splits Hong Kong Island from Kowloon, the New Territories pushing north toward the Chinese border, and two hundred and sixty outer islands of which most travellers never visit one. The neon and the hustle are real — the Lan Kwai Fong nightlife, the dim sum cart trolleys, the wet markets of Sham Shui Po, the elbow-to-elbow foot traffic of Causeway Bay — but they sit alongside a Hong Kong of green hiking trails, ferry rides to fishing villages, monastery-topped peaks and beaches an hour from Central by MTR.

The boutique scene divides cleanly along Hong Kong's geographical seams. Central, on Hong Kong Island, is the heritage and design heart — colonial-era streets like Pottinger and Stanley, the trams climbing toward the Mid-Levels, Lan Kwai Fong and the bars of Soho. The Pottinger, on the historic stone-slab street it takes its name from, layers Suzy Annetta's contemporary interiors over Fan Ho's mid-century photographs of the same neighbourhood; it sits a short walk from a one-Michelin-star roast goose restaurant on Stanley Street.

Kowloon and West Kowloon are the harbour-facing alternative — closer to the ICC tower's nightly LED light show, the Star Ferry running every ten minutes, and the markets of Mong Kok. The Olympian occupies a single floor of a luxury residential tower at One Silver Sea, thirty-two suites of forty-three to seventy-five square metres, full-length harbour-view windows above the bath, and a 3.3-metre rain shower in the larger rooms.

For something quieter, Lantau Island lies forty-five minutes from Central by ferry — Big Buddha, monastery walks, the cable car at Ngong Ping. Tai O Heritage Hotel occupies the 1902 colonial police station above a stilt-house fishing village on Tai O island, nine rooms in the original British structure (the bullet holes in the window shutters are still there), pink dolphin spotting from the boat trip and an undisturbed sea view to Macao on a clear day.
