The Pottinger: Boutique Luxury in Central Hong Kong

The Pottinger is a charming city hotel, set in one of the oldest parts of Hong Kong. Small and boutique, this historically rich property fills a gap between the plethora of opulent multi-room 5-star hotels and a smaller property with local character and a homely atmosphere. Situated on Stanley Street, next to the iconic Pottinger Street stone stairwell in the middle of the vibrant Central neighbourhood, rife with shopping, cultural sites, entertainment and dining options.

Showcasing the old Hong Kong charm, The Pottinger offers 68 rooms with a soothing pastel palette of cream decorated with painted cherry-blossom headboards and art deco furniture. Designed to resemble a Chinese residence, the rooms have a small couch or seating area as well as several local touches. White marble bathrooms have large walk-in rain showers while suites have a rolling bath. The tech-savvy features include a 42-inch TV, a Nespresso machine and a smartphone.

The main Gradini Ristorante E Bar in The Pottinger Hong Kong specialises in classic Italian dishes. Located on the second floor is the two Michelin-starred Ta Vie, an elegant French and Japanese fine-dining restaurant that specialises in Asian alcohol, such as Grace wines from China and Hibiki whiskey from Japan. Outside, the Central district is right on the doorstep, and easy to head straight from the hotel and into an area brimming with shops and dining options.

Dine The in-house Italian eatery, Gradini Restaurant at the Pottinger with an E Bar, does regional faire with native style in a heavy British accent. Both spaces are small but, like the rest of the hotel, charmingly designed and have become popular with locals in the evenings. Nestled on the hotel’s third floor, The Envoy bar has an East meets West feel with an offbeat artwork has a cocktail menu influenced by the city’s colonial past, with many of the drinks using tea as a main ingredient.

Relax There is no in-house spa or fitness centre, but The Pottinger is located close to the city’s best offerings which are only a short walk or escalator ride away.

Take the century-old Peak Tram up the mountain which offers a stunning panorama of Victoria Harbour and the city below. Popular attractions include the Peak Tower and Madame Tussaud. Nearby is the Hong Kong Park with a 3.5-kilometre Peak Circle Walk. To the west is Man Mo Temple, a splendid example of Chinese cultural heritage in Hong Kong.
 


 

Location Situated on the historic stone slab street, The Pottinger is located in the heart of the central business district and just a short stroll to shops and restaurants.

Getting there 12-hour international flight to Hong Kong International Airport.

When to go Hong Kong has a tropical climate and can be visited year round. October to April are the driest months although December to February are cooler. May to September is hot, humid with the most rainfall during these months.
