East Hong Kong

Wan Chai & Northeast Hong Kong Island

The corner harbour-view rooms (18th floor and above) are the pick of the 345 designer digs at this trendy business hotel built atop the Tai Koo MTR station, part of Swire Hotels (of Upper House pedigree). More accurately, the whole area, if not half of Hong Kong, belongs to the British conglomerate – Taikoo is the Chinese name of Swire.

Here was the location of Swire's original sugar dock, echoed in the name of East's fab rooftop bar, Sugar. The hotel attracts business travellers working at skyscraper-strewn Taikoo Pl a few minutes away.
