We Love
- The rooms — just 32 of them, unusually large for Hong Kong at 43 to 75 square metres, designed to feel more like a private residence than a hotel.
- The layout — the whole hotel sits on a single floor, so the rooms, lounge, gym and service are all a few steps apart, with no lifts to wait for.
- The views — harbour-facing suites look across Victoria Harbour to the ICC tower, with a front-row seat for the nightly Symphony of Lights show.
- The service — a butler on hand, personal guest attention, and arrivals by the hotel's own Mercedes or Rolls-Royce up the residential driveway.
- The connections — a few minutes' walk from the MTR and the Star Ferry, with Central a ten-minute crossing of the harbour and Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui close by.

Origins
The Olympian opened in March 2016, an unusual addition to Hong Kong's hotel scene: a small boutique hotel occupying a single floor of One Silver Sea, a smart residential development on the West Kowloon waterfront. It was created by an experienced Hong Kong and Singapore hotel group, and the pedigree shows in the polish, but the format is its own — just 32 rooms, no sprawling lobby or lift-bank, more a private members' floor than a conventional city hotel.
That single-floor layout is the heart of the appeal. Everything — the rooms, the dining lounge, the gym, the laundry — sits a few steps apart, so there is none of the waiting and wandering of a large tower hotel; it feels closer to staying in a very well-run private apartment. The rooms themselves are the other surprise: at 43 to 75 square metres they are far larger than Hong Kong norms, finished in a contemporary residential style of hardwood floors, velvet and warm tones, with full-length windows, deep baths and tall rain showers. The harbour-facing suites look straight across Victoria Harbour to the ICC tower.
The location is West Kowloon, a district that has come into its own with the West Kowloon Cultural District and the high-speed rail terminus, and the hotel makes the most of it. The MTR and the historic Star Ferry are minutes away, putting Central a ten-minute harbour crossing off and the markets and restaurants of Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui close at hand. Arrivals come by the hotel's own Mercedes or Rolls-Royce, a butler is on call, and the whole operation is pitched at travellers who want space, quiet and personal service over the scale and bustle of the big-name towers.
Top Secret
Ask for a harbour-facing suite, and be in it by eight. The suites that look across Victoria Harbour give you a private, front-row view of the nightly Symphony of Lights, the synchronised light-and-sound show that plays across the ICC tower and the harbour skyline — no need to fight the crowds on the waterfront promenade below. With the full-length windows beside the bed, you can watch the whole thing without getting up.
The Review
The Olympian is an unusual and rather clever thing: a 32-room boutique hotel on a single floor of a West Kowloon residential tower, run with the polish of a serious hotel group but the feel of a private apartment. It will not suit everyone — there is no grand lobby, no rooftop bar, no spa, and the setting is residential rather than in the thick of things — but for what it does, it is genuinely unusual in Hong Kong.
The rooms are the reason to come. At 43 to 75 square metres they are exceptionally large for the city, finished in a warm, contemporary residential style, with full-length windows, deep baths and tall rain showers; the harbour-facing suites look across Victoria Harbour to the ICC and its nightly light show. Because the whole hotel occupies one floor, everything is close at hand — lounge, gym, service — and the mood is calm and unhurried. Butler service and arrivals by the hotel's own car add to the private, looked-after feel.
Practically, West Kowloon is well connected — minutes from the MTR and the Star Ferry, with Central a short crossing away — though it is a business-and-residential quarter rather than a sightseeing base, so expect to travel a little for the classic Hong Kong scenes. For couples or business travellers who value space, quiet and personal service over resort facilities or a buzzy address, The Olympian is among the more interesting places to stay in the city.
