HONG KONG: 5 UNUSUAL, THEMED & UNIQUE HOTELS TO WOW YOU

Bye-bye boring and soulless hotels, hello unique! 

It's incredible how many hotels do not differ at all from each other. Are you tired of hotel rooms that are just a box with a bed and a shower? 

Are you looking for a hotel that will be an attraction in itself? A hotel that will become a bright and meaningful part of your Hong Kong experience? Here is my selection of 5 of the most unusual and quirky hotels in Hong Kong that you will never forget. 

 Are you going to Hong Kong with your child in tow? The Gold Coast quirky hotel in Hong Kong will make it easier for you to enjoy a vacation with kids and entertain them.

It is a hotel with unusual themed rooms, where you and your children are transported into a world of fantasy, games, and dreams.

It can be hard to keep up with the fantasies of your child. Today he wants to become a prince, tomorrow an astronaut, and the day after tomorrow to go on a safari to watch zebras and giraffes. But in this hotel, even the pickiest kids will be satisfied with its creative theme rooms. 

Here you can experience sleeping on a giant crater in outer space while your child sleeps in a rocket. 

In the "Outer Space" room you can feel like filming a fantastic film.

Have you ever wanted to try on an astronaut's spacesuit? Here it's possible.

By the way, this is an excellent place for a family photoshoot or just mega Instagrammable photos. 

Another themed room in this unique hotel in Hong Kong is a safari room where your child will sleep in a comfortable tent while you rest on a safari jeep bed.

Fans of cars and car racing will find happiness in a themed room with a car-shaped bed from Formula 1, and fans of cartoons about pirates will feel the spirit of sea adventures in a room with a pirate ship bed and treasure chests.

The hotel is ideally located for a family holiday - on the Gold Coast of Hong Kong, on the shores of Golden Beach. Near the hotel you can enjoy the walks to the marina, explore local shops and restaurants.

I love hotels that are more than just a hotel. One such jewel is Tung Nam Lou unusual boutique hotel in Hong Kong that is not only a stylish place to sleep but also a coworking space, a gallery, and an art store.

Founded by the art enthusiast Luo Chi-ching, Tung Nam Lou first started out as a Cantonese restaurant in 1950. After 44 years of gastronomic life, the premises underwent a transformation into a commercial center in 1994.

And only in 2018, the building turned into a multi-profile boutique hotel that has absorbed the history of the space.

You can choose from four types of rooms: comfort room, oriental room, music art room, and book lovers room. Each of the rooms has an original design and unique stylish details.

Whether you are in Hong Kong on a business trip or combining travel with work, you can get a comfortable place to work at the Tung Nam Lou's coworking space.

If you are interested in or in any way related to art, at Tung Nam Lou you will find a creative environment and art all around the hotel. 

This quirky art hotel in Hong Kong hosts cultural events, allowing travelers, artists, and the public to share their ideas and be inspired.

You will learn what means “heavenly” in an extraordinary W Hong Kong hotel.

It features Hong Kong's tallest outdoor HEATED (!!!) rooftop pool, rooms in the clouds overlooking Victoria Harbor, a sky bar, and an open-air restaurant under the stars. It's really a life in the skies.

Situated on the Kowloon Peninsula, this upscale hotel has many surprising factors, and the theme of "W for wow" runs throughout the hotel. Everything here is simply impressive. It would be fair to call this hotel "WOW Hong Kong Hotel". 

After a day exploring the area, indulge in authentic Cantonese cuisine at Sing Yin restaurant. For cocktails, head to Wet Deck, a rooftop bar on the 76th floor with stunning panoramic views of Hong Kong and the harbor.

Swimming in the pool, located 211 meters (692 feet) above the ground, makes you feel like a bird.

W Hong Kong also features a Bliss gym and spa with equally incredible city views.

As for the location, the hotel is conveniently connected to the ELEMENTS Shopping Center, and it's a five-minute walk to Kowloon Station for the Airport Express.

West Kowloon Station, with high-speed trains to mainland China, is a 15-minute walk from the hotel, while central Hong Kong is just a short ride away.

The hotel is located in an architectural complex with the tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong and the famous Sky100 observation deck on the 100th floor.

It offers 360-degree panoramic views of Victoria Harbor and other parts of Hong Kong. At 393 meters above sea level, it is the only indoor observation deck in Hong Kong. The high-speed elevator will take you to the 100th floor in just 60 seconds.

Not only can you enjoy panoramic views of the whole of Hong Kong, but also watch the Love in the Sky light show. The show features fabulous 3D images with unique projection technology and music against the backdrop of Victoria Harbor's nighttime scenery. There is also a cafe on the 100th floor where you can take a breath from the beauty you've seen and refresh yourself.

If you do not plan to stay overnight at the China W Hong Kong hotel, but want to enjoy the unusual panorama of Hong Kong, you can visit the observation deck separately. The ticket costs USD 24.

The final star in my selection of unique hotels in Hong Kong is the Ovolo Southside Hotel, Hong Kong's first hotel in a converted warehouse.

It is a place where industrial and modern combine to create unique and stylish 21st-century designs.

This ultra-trendy industrial hotel is located in southern Hong Kong, in the up-and-coming Wong Chuk Hang district, loved by local artists, hipsters, and young entrepreneurs.

The creators of the hotel decided not to rewrite the industrial history of the place but made a highlight out of it. The hotel's industrial style is complemented by a container converted into a bar, brickwork, steel furniture, open chimneys, and original graffiti and modernist art installations.

The hotel also features a trendy nightclub-like rooftop bar, a modern bistro, and a 24-hour restaurant.

To make travelers feel at home, the hotel offers complimentary access to the gym and self-service laundry, complimentary breakfast, free snacks, and a drink at the bar during the happy social hour.

The hotel is located just 10 minutes' drive from the main shopping streets of Causeway Bay and 20 minutes from Central District and Soho.
