EAST Hong Kong

  • Quarry Bay
  • Rooftop bar
  • Outdoor pool
  • Better value
  • Local food

A rooftop bar looking over the eastern harbour, in a neighbourhood where office workers and locals fill the noodle shops at lunchtime.

Quarry Bay is where Hong Kong Island goes about its everyday business. At lunchtime the small restaurants around the hotel fill with people who live and work here, not tourists.

EAST fits in with a laid-back, modern style: clean-lined rooms, an outdoor pool, and a bar on the roof with views over the harbour. Prices sit well below the big names in Central.

Picolo’s verdict

Why we chose EAST Hong Kong

We like it for value and for the neighbourhood. You get a modern, comfortable room and a taste of local Hong Kong, while Central is still within easy reach by metro.

You are out east, so every trip to Central or Kowloon takes a few minutes longer. Anyone wanting grand service or a landmark address will be happier further west.

What you get

  • Modern, clean-lined rooms
  • Outdoor pool
  • Rooftop bar with harbour views
  • Local cafés and restaurants nearby
  • Metro to Central
