Note: The rules around hotel quarantine are changing regularly, so be sure to check on the latest information before booking.
If you’re arriving in Hong Kong, you will be subjected to quarantine requirements. In keeping with government COVID-19 prevention, most arrivals will need to quarantine at a designated hotel (with a few exceptions).
Here’s the good news: there is a whole host of designated Hong Kong hotels available to meet a variety of budgets and tastes. Each is implementing special hygiene and safety measures and will only accept quarantining guests.
We’ve scoured the city to highlight the very best options – hotels with special in-room amenities, scenic views, outdoor spaces and concierge services to see guests soundly through their extended stay.
