Kimpton Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong is located at the city's famous harborfront. Merging Hong Kong's vibrant maritime history with modern design and top-notch hospitality, this eagerly awaited launch represents Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants' inaugural establishment in Hong Kong and the 82nd globally.
The hotel's striking V-shaped silhouette rises above the historic Mariner's Club, capturing the nostalgia of Hong Kong's seafaring past alongside the sophistication of its modern skyline. This is a story of connection — bridging the old and the new, east and west, land and sea.
Originally founded in 1967, the Mariner's Club was a cherished haven for sailors arriving from around the world. Today, that legacy has been reimagined into a luxurious 42-story landmark, owned by Empire Group Holdings Ltd. and managed by InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG).

Inside, the hotel seamlessly fuses maritime motifs with contemporary artistry. Wave-inspired textures, soft blue hues, and nautical accents pay homage to the ocean, while modern lines and high-end finishes give the space a fresh, cosmopolitan feel.
Guests are welcomed by captivating artworks, including "Whatever Floats Your Boat" by Swiss-born, Hong Kong-raised artist Julie Progin, which playfully explores themes of movement, travel, and identity. Even the lift lobbies feature wave-patterned ceilings, immersing guests in a journey through the elements before they reach their rooms.
Spanning from the ninth to the 42nd floor, the hotel houses 495 exquisitely designed guest rooms and suites, each offering breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour and the city beyond.

Room types range from 28-square-meter Essential Rooms—ideal for business travellers or weekend explorers—to 34-square-meter Premium Rooms showcasing dazzling views of Central and Victoria Harbour. For a more luxurious experience, Kimpton Harbour Suites offer up to 68 square meters of space with premium amenities, and select suites feature private balconies that open to the sea breeze and skyline.
Every room combines comfort with artistry, showcasing modern furnishings, tactile fabrics, and floor-to-ceiling windows that turn Hong Kong's skyline into a living work of art. Whether guests wake to the sunrise over the East Sea or unwind under the glow of the evening lights, every moment is designed for inspiration.

Kimpton Tsim Sha Tsui also sets a new standard for fitness and wellness in Hong Kong. The hotel's 24-hour fitness centre, the first in the city to feature HYROX training, combines endurance running with functional workouts, catering to guests of all fitness levels.

For those seeking outdoor adventure, the hotel offers a curated hiking program with guided routes through Hong Kong's lush hills and scenic trails, allowing guests to explore a different side of the metropolis. Additionally, the rooftop infinity pool, a 20-meter oasis perched high above Victoria Harbour, features subtle nautical design elements and offers stunning views from the poolside. Guests can float and unwind while watching the daily rhythm of the city below, from cargo ships drifting across the harbour to the twinkling skyline at dusk.
Food lovers will find themselves at the heart of Hong Kong's culinary scene at Kimpton Tsim Sha Tsui. The hotel features five dining venues, each showcasing a unique taste of the city's vibrant food culture.

At Hillside, guests can enjoy refined Cantonese cuisine inspired by the city's beloved open-air food stalls, known as dai pai dongs. The restaurant celebrates local flavours with artful presentations and seasonal ingredients, offering a menu that is both authentic and elevated.

For socialising and relaxation, Bars Swim Club and High Dive serve handcrafted cocktails infused with local ingredients—such as jasmine tea and calamansi—creating unique flavour profiles that reflect Hong Kong's cultural diversity.
Meanwhile, The Birdsong Café transforms from a cosy daytime retreat into a lively evening venue during Kimpton's signature social hour, where guests enjoy complimentary drinks and bites as the harbour glows with golden light.

Beyond design and dining, what truly sets Kimpton Tsim Sha Tsui apart is its human touch—the warm, genuine service that defines the Kimpton brand worldwide. From personalised local recommendations to pet-friendly stays, every detail aims to make guests feel not just accommodated, but truly understood.
As the first Kimpton in Hong Kong, this property seeks to redefine modern luxury by seamlessly blending heritage, design, and experience. It's a place where travellers can connect with the city's history while enjoying all the comforts of contemporary life—a perfect harmony of tradition and innovation, where every stay feels like a story waiting to be told.
