Best Hotels Near Hong Kong International Airport
Hong Kong International Airport sits on reclaimed land off Lantau Island, and the hotels around it fall into clear groups. The Regal Airport Hotel has direct covered access to Terminal 1. A short shuttle ride away, the Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott and the Regala Skycity Hotel sit on the airport island, while Tung Chung, the nearest town, has the Novotel Citygate, the Sheraton and the Silveri. Further along Lantau, the three Disney hotels, Discovery Bay and the fishing village of Tai O add resorts and character. I sort them by how easily each one gets you to your gate.
Lantau is Hong Kong's largest island and its greenest, and the airport sits on its northern shore. Tung Chung is a modern new town of towers, malls and the cable car to the Big Buddha at Ngong Ping. To the east, Discovery Bay and the Disney resort face the sea; to the west, Tai O keeps its stilt houses and fishing boats. The hotels follow that contrast, from functional airport towers to seafront resorts and village guesthouses, all within reach of the runway.
Where to stay near the airport
How I would choose near Hong Kong airport
Hong Kong's airport is far from the city centre, on the western edge of the territory, so a hotel on Lantau saves a long transfer before an early flight or after a late arrival. The choice here is unusually wide for an airport: a hotel joined to the terminal, sea-view hotels on the airport island, a new town with shopping, theme-park resorts and quiet seafront villages. That variety means the right pick depends less on distance than on what you want from the night, from a few hours of sleep to a short break.
For the shortest transfer, the Regal Airport Hotel Hong Kong is the obvious choice, with direct covered access to Terminal 1. It is a large high-end hotel with six restaurants, indoor and outdoor pools, a spa and a gym, rated 8.0 across more than six thousand reviews. On the same island, the Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott Hotel runs an airport shuttle and adds an indoor pool, a spa and several restaurants, while the Regala Skycity Hotel offers sea-view rooms, a shuttle and a short walk to AsiaWorld-Expo, useful for trade fairs. I would choose among these three when the flight is the main reason for the stay.
Tung Chung, the new town a short ride from the airport, offers more choice and a livelier evening. The Novotel Hong Kong Citygate, the most reviewed hotel on this page, has a free airport shuttle, an outdoor pool and bay views. The Sheraton Hong Kong Tung Chung Hotel adds a shuttle, an outdoor pool, sea views and a 24-hour gym. The Silveri Hotel Hong Kong - MGallery Collection is the best-rated address here at 9.4, with a shuttle, an outdoor pool and a hot tub. Tung Chung is also where the cable car to Ngong Ping starts, so a long layover can include the Big Buddha.
Families have an unusual option: the three Disney hotels on Lantau all run an airport shuttle. The Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, a Victorian-style resort rated 9.0, offers character dining, an outdoor pool and a spa. The Disney Explorers Lodge, also rated 9.0, has themed gardens and an outdoor pool, while Disney's Hollywood Hotel has three restaurants and a piano-shaped pool. They suit a stopover that includes the park more than a quick overnight. Harbour Plaza Resort City, with a shuttle, a pool, a spa and kitchens in some rooms, is another family choice further from the airport, in Tin Shui Wai.
Some travellers prefer to use the airport as the start of a quieter stay. The Auberge Discovery Bay Hong Kong, about 22 minutes by taxi, is a seafront hotel with a spa and an outdoor pool. The Tai O Heritage Hotel occupies a former police station overlooking the water in the fishing village of Tai O, with a restaurant and five-star service. On Cheung Chau, the Warwick Hotel and smaller beach hotels are reached by ferry, and the Silvermine Beach Resort sits on the beach at Mui Wo. I would only choose these when the flight is not too early, since the transfer takes longer.
A traveler's takeMy advice is to book the Regal Airport Hotel when the flight is the only goal, since it is joined to Terminal 1. For a better-rated room at a short shuttle distance, I would choose the Silveri in Tung Chung or the Novotel Citygate. With children and a free day, I would pick a Disney hotel for its shuttle and pools. For a quiet night by the sea, I would go to Discovery Bay.
