The house
MarriottHarbourfront convention engine
Directly tethered to the convention centre on Wan Chai's waterfront, this bustling business hub hums with trade delegates and harbour-gazing regulars.
“The newly transformed venue takes design cues from the ancient Xiguan mansions of Guangzhou in China.”
What it’s good at
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
The steamed buns oozing salted egg yolk custard are the city’s best.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Covered footbridges connect straight to Exhibition Centre MTR station and the Wan Chai pier for frequent Star Ferry hops across to Kowloon.
The rooms
Harbour-view rooms frame Victoria Harbour through wide picture windows, keeping the focus squarely on passing Star Ferries and skyline traffic below.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Set in the 11th-floor podium garden, the heated lagoon pool is surrounded by palms and loungers.
The gym
The 24-hour gym is equipped with Technogym cardio machines and free weights set along large window trusses.
Dynasty Restaurant
Intricate mosaic murals frame the dining room, where chefs serve signature barbecued pork and classic Cantonese dim sum.
At the table
In the lobby, Mirage centers on a 25-foot island bar. Café Renaissance serves all-day international buffets and live cooking stations.
How it began
Built in 1989 as the New World Harbour View Hotel, the property was developed alongside the adjacent Hong Kong convention centre.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
