During my recent 3-day trip to Hong Kong, I stayed in Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, and it was an experience worth sharing. Located in the vibrant district of Wan Chai, this five-star hotel offers pleasant service, harbor views, and spacious rooms designed for total relaxation. In this post, I’ll take you through every detail—from airport transfers to room features, hotel facilities, and nearby transportation.

From Airport to Grand Hyatt Hong
Uber in Hong Kong
I’ve used Uber app in Korea and it automatically switched to local settings when I arrived in Hong Kong. Although my app showed a blank map (possibly a phone issue), I was still able to book a ride by entering a nearby building as the pickup location.
Uber from Hong Kong Airport (Pickup Point)
To ride Uber from Hong Kong International Airport, follow the signs for Car Park 1 which is the Uber pickup point. This outdoor carpark will be easy to find as there is already a queue of travelers waiting for their Uber. Once a driver is assigned, the app displays your car’s license plate and vehicle color. Just make sure your card details are registered on the app and FYI it also supports international credit/debit cards.
Uber Price from Hong Kong Airport to Grand Hyatt
Instead of taking the MTR or airport bus I opted for Uber on my first and last day to and from the airport. The ride to Grand Hyatt Hong Kong took around 35–40 minutes during the day and cost roughly HKD 300. While public transport is definitely cheaper, the Uber ride was convenient, especially with luggage and after a long flight.
Grand Hyatt Hong Kong Room Review
King Room
The King Room at Grand Hyatt lived up to its five-star reputation. I had requested a quiet, high-floor room and got a room on the 15th floor at the end of the hallway, with panoramic views of the pool and a glimpse of the harbour. The décor had a feel of classic luxury with light wood tones and plush carpets underfoot.
The king-size bed was comfortable and opposite the bed was a table and a comfortable single armchair which gave us plenty of space to eat and relax. The bathroom featured a marble interior with both a shower and a bathtub, and the toilet area was smartly sectioned off for privacy. Water pressure in the shower was a bit low, but everything else was excellent. Amenities were provided by Balmain and the vanity drawer included complementary essentials like toothbrushes, Q-tips and cotton pads. FYI razors and shower caps were listed as chargeable items.
The room also featured a Nespresso machine and a selection of tea bags, and the mini-bar was stocked with premium snacks and drinks. While most of these items came at an extra charge, two bottles of water were complimentary.
Grand Hyatt Hong Kong Lobby & Facilities
Lobby
The grand lobby was probably one of my favorite spots in the hotel. High ceilings, elegant decor, and the soft sound of a live grand piano performance from the M floor’s Tiffin Lounge created an inviting and luxurious atmosphere.
Outdoor Swimming Pool
There was a 50m-long outdoor swimming pool on the 11th floor with plenty of deck space, daybeds, and parasols for lounging. It’s not a trendy infinity pool you’d see in modern hotels, but has a classic, family-friendly resort vibe. But one downside (as a non-smoker) was that the outdoor bar and grill (The Grill & Waterfall Bar) nearby allowed smoking so I could smell cigarettes near the pool.
Fitness Center
Next to the pool is the 24-hour fitness center, equipped with treadmills, cycling machines, weight training stations, and a stretching area with yoga mats. Clean towels and bottled water were readily available, making it a great space for travelers looking to maintain their routine on the road.
Restaurants
The hotel houses several high-end dining venues, including the Michelin-starred One Harbour Road, known for its refined Cantonese cuisine. The Grand Café serves a lavish breakfast buffet, while Tiffin Lounge is famous for its afternoon tea set and live piano performances—a hit among both locals and tourists. I didn’t get a chance to try these this time, but it’s definitely on my list for the next visit.
Grand Hyatt Hong Kong Location & Transportation
MTR Stations Near Grand Hyatt Hong Kong
Grand Hyatt Hong Kong’s location is ideal for both business and leisure travelers. The hotel is just a 5-minute walk from MTR Exhibition Centre Station, which is on the East Rail Line. Another station nearby is Wan Chai Station (Exit A1), which is around 10–12 minutes on foot.
1.From Hotel to Exhibition Centre Station
If you exit the hotel’s main entrance and head to the left, then turn left again around the hotel building, you’ll see Harbour Road Tower. Walk past this building and turn left once more, and you’ll find a footbridge. Go up the footbridge and it connects directly to MTR Exhibition Centre Station. I didn’t use this station often during the trip, except for the time I visited the famous Ladies Market—you can go directly to Mong Kok East Station without any transfers.
2.From Hotel to Wan Chai Station
For visiting major tourist areas like Central or Tsim Sha Tsui, I used Wan Chai Station more frequently. From the hotel’s main entrance go left, but instead of turning left again, cross the road straight ahead. You’ll see the newly built Shui On Centre. (As of April 2025, not many stores had opened yet.) Walk toward the Immigration Tower located on the left side of Shui On Centre. You’ll reach a footbridge that connects directly to the passage leading to MTR Wan Chai Station Exit A1.
Overall
From the spacious King Room with harbor views to the premium facilities, everything about the experience at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong was thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. The hotel’s proximity to Wan Chai Station and Exhibition Centre Station makes it a smart choice both for first-timers and seasoned travelers. If you’re searching for a luxurious hotel in Wan Chai that still offers peace and quiet, Grand Hyatt Hong Kong should be at the top of your list.
