Sohotel

139 Bonham Strand, Hong Kong, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China

Why We Like It

The amenities here are virtually non-existent but the tiny Sohotel impresses on location, budget and high levels of service. While some rooms are tiny, they at least have a strong, tasteful design aesthetic running through them that somehow makes the size more acceptable.

Fodor's Expert Review

While the hotel’s peculiar entrance may appear to look like a portal into a black hole, we can assure you that once inside, what you’ll find is an internal décor that’s neither a throwback to the past or a glimpse into the future. What the Sohotel does offer is a dependable, comfortable boutique hotel in the heart of Central.

What's Nearby

Getting Around

Antiques, art galleries and regular boutiques and stores line nearby Hollywood Road, one of the oldest thoroughfares in Hong Kong. Close to Sheung Wan MTR, the Sohotel is well-located for exploring a range of nearby neighborhoods on foot.

Restaurants

Feast on skewers, Japanese beer and whisky at Yardbird (5-minute walk), a yakitori restaurant on Wing Lok Street. The Cottage Gastropub (4-minute walk) is good for a relaxed occasion that’s as much about catching up with friends and watching sport on the big TVs as it is the classic Western gastro staples.

Bars

If you like to peruse contemporary art as you imbibe delectable cocktails then Bibo (6-minute walk) is the bar for you. Part bar, part high-end French restaurant, the drinks are first-class. The Blue Supreme (4-minute walk) beer bar has a solid list of international brews and local Hong Kong craft beers to taste.
