Hotel Stage – Artistic Boutique Hotel in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong

[HONG KONG] Hong Kong is known to be a shopping and food paradise, but there are also more stylish hotels that you can go for while having a holiday. Opened beginning of this year at Yau Ma Tei, Hotel Stage is an urban lifestyle boutique hotel that feels fresh out of the box new.

We know that Yau Ma Tei is an old district filled with many traditional old shops. But in recent years, a creative breed has moved in to bring life to the historic heart of Hong Kong. Designed to serve the curious traveller, this stylish hotel takes its guests on a neighbourhood journey through the lens of history, culture and art. Paying homage to the local art community, the boutique hotel features 97 guest rooms and suites, with oversized windows providing a lot of natural light.

Rooms range from cozy Superior rooms to Suites with dining and living areas. We checked in to a beautiful suite with a warm, neutral bedroom and a separate living room with sofa and comfortable touches. The room boasts high speed, multi-media connectivity, LCD projectors, multi-TV systems, and a range of cutting-edge audio-visual equipment. Some of the rooms have got artwork done by local artists, performers and artisans to showcase the soul of the city. For the wall in my suite, the wall painting by Kwong Man Chun features the nostalgic Mido Cafe with the beautiful banyan trees.

It feels like my own place more than a hotel, and there is a huge bathroom with bathtub. Club and Suite guests can enjoy 24-hour exclusive access to the cosy and tranquil Library Lounge — a perfect place to relax or read books.

All guest rooms are equipped with complimentary handy smartphone, allowing you to stay connected. The phone features unlimited 3G Internet Access, unlimited local calls, unlimited International Calls to Australia, China, Korea, UK and US, attractions guidebook, shopping & restaurants guide, interactive map and GPS functions, social network and instant messaging.

Living rooms with art installations is also available for your personal hours or social gatherings. Hotel Stage has designed unique spaces for your projects, meetings and retreats during the day. Featured music streaming and screen sharing with your own devices, the day studio is ideal for groups up to 8, and offers a choice of 4 sessions daily. Please contact resv@hotelstage.com or phone +852 3953 2222 for more details.

The hotel’s all-day-dining restaurant Kitchen Savvy is tastefully designed with an open kitchen concept. I am super in love with the space as it is divided into three zones, including a living room and lounge, a communal dining space, and an intimate dining area, ideal for business lunches. If you wish to enjoy a scrumptious breakfast in a comfortable environment, enjoy the eggy breakfast done your preferred style and complement with sausages, bacons, mushrooms etc. Call +852 3953 2213 to make reservations. Opening hours: 7am – 10:30pm (Monday – Sunday)

We get a complimentary welcome drink at Muse Wine Bar during our stay so we went to the lounge to enjoy a cup of tea while admiring the artwork by acclaimed Korean artist Kim Chanil. Working between sculpture and painting, the canvas is coated with oil and acrylic paint forming a wave-like ripple pattern. There is a great selection of wine and beverages with light refreshments to satisfy your tastebuds. Call +852 3953 2203 for enquiry. Opening Hours: 4pm- 12am (Monday – Sunday)
