The Fleming

The Fleming is a small, design-focused boutique hotel in Wan Chai, reopened under its current identity after a full renovation in 2017, and named Tatler's Best Boutique Hotel in Hong Kong in the 2026 awards.

Location

41 Fleming Road, Wan Chai — a short walk from Wan Chai MTR station, the Wan Chai Star Ferry pier, and the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

What it's known for

A nautical design theme inspired by Hong Kong's cross-harbour ferries, with brass fittings, navy-blue tiles and vintage touches like an old-school neon sign and a vintage mailbox wall in the lobby — distinctive rather than a generic boutique-hotel look. Just 66 rooms, with an all-day Italian restaurant, Osteria Marzia, run by the well-regarded Black Sheep Restaurants group.

Who it suits

Travellers who want a smaller, design-forward hotel with real personality in a lively, central location, rather than a large international chain — well suited to both leisure stays and business travellers wanting something with more character.
