Nautical vessel revival
A red hull-like elevator, vintage mailboxes, and wafts of amber and sandalwood envelop guests in evocative mid-century maritime atmosphere.
“Formerly a staid business hotel, the Fleming is fresh off a dramatic high-design makeover inspired by Hong Kong’s famous Star Ferry.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Bottle-green walls and reversible Star Ferry-inspired benches shape the streamlined maritime interiors.
Notable
Custom Shen Nong apothecary bath amenities rooted in traditional Chinese herbal remedies.
Listed
Ground-floor Osteria Marzia anchors the scene with coastal Italian dining and a buzzing bar.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The rooms, fortunately, are considerably larger than ships’ cabins, and the nautical style feels more like an homage than a theme.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set in historic Wan Chai, the hotel is steps from bustling roast goose spots and a short walk from Victoria Harbour ferries.
The rooms
Porthole mirrors, dark timber floors, and green subway tiles recall classic steamer cabins, stocked with herbal apothecary bath amenities.
Restaurant
Osteria Marzia
Under blue wall tiles and arched timber frames, the room serves coastal Italian crudo, handmade pastas, and southern Italian wines.
A decade into life as a serviceable if forgettable business hotel, the Fleming reopened in 2017 as one of Hong Kong’s coolest boutique stays.
How it began
A 1970s business hotel reopened in 2017 following a transformation by local studio A Work of Substance inspired by maritime heritage.
