This newly reopened luxury hotel is the perfect base to explore Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay

Produced by SilverKris for Lanson Place Causeway Bay

In many ways, Causeway Bay represents the beating heart of Hong Kong. For fashionistas, Hysan Place, Times Square, and other glitzy malls and indie shops provide endless options for retail therapy. Meanwhile, foodies can enjoy eating their way through hole-in-the-wall cafes and Michelin-starred restaurants alike. Even Victoria Park – one of the island’s largest public parks – is often a hotbed of activity, with tai chi sessions happening at sunrise and lively festive markets taking over the grounds during the holiday seasons.

From dawn to dusk, the neighbourhood bursts with vibrant energy that’s synonymous with the city. But round a corner, step through a pair of glass doors, and the hustle and bustle immediately melt away.

From the moment you enter the lobby of the recently reopened Lanson Place Causeway Bay, you are enveloped in a sense of quiet elegance. Adorned with curved lines, soothing hues of blues and creams, and artworks sourced from private collections, it’s clear that every detail of the hotel has been meticulously reimagined.

Lanson Place’s new concept is unveiled following a 16-month renovation, and it’s guided by the vision of world-renowned interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. As the mastermind behind other stunning properties around the world – including The Savoy Hotel London, Shangri-La Hotel Paris, and the L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon restaurants – his timeless design philosophy is on full display here.

This small luxury hotel boasts 188 rooms, including suites and penthouses for those looking to indulge in an extended stay. Each one is thoughtfully built with style and comfort in mind, as plush lounges nestle next to furnishings crafted with high-quality natural materials. After a long day of exploring the city or attending meetings, what better way to unwind than to sink into a comfy bed with some essential oils, spa music and a pillow of your choice?

Another thing to love is Lanson Place’s commitment to sustainability. Not only are the key cards made of wood, in-room amenities such as bottled drinking water and toothbrushes are also plastic-free.

While there are plenty of dining options around the hotel, its own restaurant, Salon Lanson, is no slouch. Opened from 6.30 am to 11 pm, it goes from offering semi-buffet style breakfast to lunch and dinner before becoming a cocktail bar. Of note is the canapes set; available for evening cocktails between 5.30 pm and 7.30pm, it features delicious bites like poached prawn and egg topped with caviar and spicy aioli, and Kahlúa chocolate mousse.

Its cocktail menu, too, is intriguing. Printed on an illustrated postcard that the concierge can help you mail out afterwards, it features drinks inspired by Causeway Bay’s lesser-known history. To celebrate its reopening, it’s serving a series of seven expertly crafted signature cocktails themed around Hong Kong’s esteemed landmarks. Try its signature cocktail Leighton 133, named after the hotel’s address; or The Little Ginza, a nod to the area’s old nickname, back when several major Japanese department stores were located there. The menu changes every seven days, so you can look forward to trying something new each time.

If you’re looking to recharge your mind and body, Lanson Place’s fitness centre is not only equipped with contemporary facilities, but also designed to feel like a modern oasis with views over Victoria Park. On top of that, a roster of complimentary wellness workshops, from breathwork to gong therapy, are also provided for hotel guests during the weekend.

For travellers seeking to be fully immersed in Hong Kong’s dynamic culture, Lanson Place offers the perfect blend of sophistication, comfort and hospitality, making it the ultimate base from which to explore the wonders of Causeway Bay and beyond.
