From the palatial surrounds of the Four Seasons to suitcase sized rooms, serviced apartments and short term apartment rentals in Hong Kong are as varied as they are plentiful. Below are some of the best luxury options
Popular with expats and those using the city as a travel base, serviced apartments and short term apartment rentals in Hong Kong can be a good way to beat pricey hotel rates. The main pull is you can enjoy the fully furnished comforts at home and the services of a hotel. Generally, the longer you book for, the more you’ll save.
1. Four Seasons Place
Top choice for high flying execs and recently arrived diplomats, the Four Seasons brings its first-class hotel expertise to serviced apartments. Aside from the luxury apartments, free bonuses include a rooftop pool, health club and a playroom. The bedding and mattress are also the same, hard-to-get-out-of-bed, you’ll find inside the Four Seasons proper. The location slotted in between IFC mall and the Four Seasons Hotel is ideal.

2. Pacific Place Apartments
Sited in the Admiralty mall of the same name, the Pacific Place is attached to the Conrad Hotel, with twenty four hour room service as well as access to the Conrad’s pool and health club. Rooms are fitted out in soothing earth tones, which are arguably more attractive than those at the sister hotel, while the 11th-37th floor views are simply outstanding.

Added extras include free use of their fitness centre and a general use, roof-top garden. Bauhinia offers room servicing twice a week, although beds are made daily. Try and bag a suite with a washer/dryer all in one combo. Prices don’t come cheap.

4. Harbour Plaza Metropolis
Just yards from the Hung Hom China train terminus, the apartments at the Harbor Plaza are said to be the crashpad of choice for visiting officials from Beijing. Various room configurations are available, although both single and double apartments come with lounge rooms. The pastel décor is attractive and luxurious, if slightly uninspiring. The location is not the best, unless you’re planning several trips to China via the train.
