I am fiercely in love with Hong Kong, my home of more than three decades. But the truth is, the city hasn’t truly embraced the boutique hotel concept, even after all these years. Name a big international hotel chain – any brand – and the chances are that you’ll find at least two, if not three of their properties in Hong Kong. But smaller, design-led hotels are still far and few between (unless you’re happy to fork out US$600 a night – which I’m not!).

So when I heard that a boutique hotel inspired by the iconic Star Ferry, cross-harbour ferries that shuttle people across Victoria Harbour, I knew I had to check it out – I am, after all, a sucker for heritage hotels that show off the essence of the city. I booked a staycation at The Fleming for my partner and myself, and fell in love with the sexy (yes, I said sexy) metallic accents, the classic porthole doors, Hong Kong-inspired artwork and stylish setting.

There’s always a danger of coming across as “kitschy” when you create a themed boutique hotel, and The Fleming is anything but – the design is impeccable and a heavenly blend of modern-meets-classic, with a subtle nod to Hong Kong’s maritime history. Read on for my review of The Fleming urban hotel in Wan Chai, Hong Kong!

Headed to Hong Kong? Here are all of my insider Hong Kong destination guides!

The rooms at The Fleming in Hong Kong

Property prices in Hong Kong are outrageous, and the city is notorious for sky-high real estate rates. In general, hotel rooms in Hong Kong tend to be on the more compact side, so imagine my surprise when we walked into one of The Fleming’s 66 rooms and was greeted with 300 square feet of well-designed space and a functional layout.

The Fleming offers four different room categories, with the smallest coming in at approximately 210 square feet and the largest at 360 square feet. Our room featured a minibar area tucked away in the corner, an open wardrobe, queen-sized bed, wall-mounted flat screen TV, desk and classy Hong Kong-inspired artwork.

Though the room looked out onto other residential buildings in the historic district of Wan Chai, the space evokes a nostalgia for what is affectionately referred to as “Old Hong Kong”. We opted to keep the blinds drawn for more privacy during our stay.

Make sure you indulge in the bespoke Chinese apothecary bathroom amenities – the various herbal aromas are light and vibrant, and will get you ready for a day of exploring in Hong Kong.

The facilities and dining at The Fleming in Hong Kong

Osteria Marzia Italian restaurant in Hong Kong

At the base of The Fleming is Osteria Marzia, a sleek Italian restaurant offering coastal cuisine – perfect for seafood lovers. The restaurant dishes up exquisite Italian dishes as well as a wide selection of wine from Italy and beyond. The service is stellar, and is a fantastic option for special occasions or date night – be warned though, it comes with an equally hefty price tag and though we enjoyed our meal at Osteria Marzia there are other Italian restaurants I would recommend in Hong Kong.

As The Fleming is an urban boutique hotel there is no pool, spa or gym – but it is the perfect city getaway hotel with a location that can’t be beat. For guests looking to hit the fitness circuit during their stay ask the front desk for a day pass to a nearby gym, or simply embark on one of these easy hikes with a view in Hong Kong.
