Staycations have been the best way for Hong Kongers trapped amidst travel restrictions preventing overseas trips to unwind during vacation time and take a break from the hustle of our busy Hong Kong. For a real escape with your loved one, friends and families, pick these five themed hotels to get that escape to another world on your next staycation.
A listicle on themed hotels should never miss Lantau Island’s magical resort park, with the 400-room Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel bringing guests along a mystical adventure with Mickey Mouse and co. With stately accommodations and modern amenities, the architectural marvel can be seen brightly lit miles beyond the seaside resort.
Stepping into Victorian-styled hotel, one may feel like you are entering the halls of an old European castle, with bedrooms and fit for princes and princesses would feel like entering a castle. The hotel offers activities that immerse people in the fantasy world, including the Storybook Playroom and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
Opening in mid 2021, the Hong Kong Ocean Park Marriott Hotel has become a haven for staycationers to escape to the Southside, spending ample time in the hotels’ three types of family themed rooms to relax in with airy, oceanic-inspired decor: Whiskers Submarine, Redd Forest, and Bao Bao Paradise.
All rooms include two double beds, catering to couples, friends and larger families. The hotel is best accessible from the Ocean Park MTR and located only a five-minute from Ocean Park’s main entrance and ticketing booth for an easy morning fun retreat.
Located on Ma Wan, a remote island in the New Territories besides Tsing Yi, Noah’s Ark is a Christian-themed park serving to educate people about family values, social awareness, and the story of the Old Testament. Having such vision, the hotel’s staycation rooms are themed to appease both adults and children, such as Dinosaur Adventure World, Cuddly Bears in Hong Kong, Candy Party, Animal Party and Space Voyage.
Each room is decorated with plush dolls and animals and wall decorations, allowing visitors to snap great pics for Instagram. Consider too renting a bicycle from the hotel to explore Ma Wan, a mystical island!
Standing along the coast of Tuen Mun, the Gold Coast Hotel is your best staycation option for people to escape the hectic urban life. Thanks to its location, visitors may enjoy a gorgeous panoramic sea view from the hotel rooms.
With a wide variety of themes available in rented rooms, ranging from the vibrant Animal Safari Room and Dinosaur Room to the cute Princess Room, Carnival Room, and special Hong Kong Tram Room, the Gold Coast Hotel caters for the needs and love of kid's choices.
Location: Gold Coast Hotel, 1 Castle Peak Road, Castle Peak Bay, New Territories
One of town’s best themed hotel rooms for staycations has got to be the Royal View Hotel. With a privileged location overlooking the Tsing Ma Bridge, visitors are treated to wide-panning views of Hong Kong Island and south China Sea inside specially curated themed rooms.
Pick between the Tree House, Incredible Truck, Vibe Music, Game Paradise, Marine World, Deep Space, and Racing Race themed rooms for a frenzy fun and deep-dive into mystical and interesting worlds in the (slightly-)remote staycation-specialised hotel.
Location: Royal View Hotel, 353 Castle Peak Road, Ting Kau, Tsuen Wan, New Territories
