A shimmering bronze dragon created from solar fins dramatically wraps the exterior of the Hotel Indigo® Hong Kong Island hotel, rooting us in the culture and traditions of our neighborhood. Floor-to-ceiling windows in our guest rooms offer panoramic views of Wan Chai, while thoughtful details, like small blue statues of our local Kung Fu master, help you explore our neighborhood. Our dramatic, cantilevered glass-bottomed infinity pool and Skybar are also perfect spots to take in the breathtaking views. Our lobby’s electric blue staircase’s design was inspired by the Blue House Cluster and Wan Chai’s vibrant nightlife, while our restaurant’s décor pays homage to the Old Post Office across the street, a treasure from the past. Cafe Post serves up a menu of local favorites with a modern twist, such as Dai Pai Dong (street noodles). We’re walking distance to shops, markets, restaurants, bars and the subway.

Long before neon glow lit this neighborhood, Wan Chai –“a cove” in Cantonese—was a small fishing village. However, in the ’40s, sailors came to port in droves, looking for love in the waving “Suzie Wongs” along the boulevards and bringing with them a rousing nightlife. It was the start of something truly colorful: over time, century-old brick buildings began to juxtapose colonial and Asian architecture. Today, blue balconies jut from 19th century apartments, famously painted after a government paint surplus in the '70s. All around, amid a vibrant blur of taxicabs, bicycles and vendors, a daily buzz and rhythm beats at the heart of this urban cultural center.
Jump on a tram along the busy Johnston Road for an enjoyable ride to view intriguing neighborhood and tenement houses steeped in history. Many are still grocery stores and barber shops that feel distinctly like 1962, but many have been restored and transformed, like ‘The Pawn,’ once one of Hong Kong’s first pawn shops and now a beautiful restaurant.
Located along the Victoria Harbor, the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) is one of the two major convention venues in Hong Kong, together with Asia World-Expo. Wan Chai has many restaurants, bars, galleries, cafes, designer label fashion shops, antiques shops, and modern, stylish furniture shops.
Two of Wan Chai’s most treasured buildings are the Old Wan Chai Post Office and the Blue House Cluster, just across the road from the hotel. The former was constructed in 1912 and is the only surviving original post office building in Hong Kong. The latter is a group of tenements with colorful facades telling the stories of the old Wan Chai community.
Don’t go home without exploring the old Wan Chai market and the Flea Market at Tai Yuen Street, where the locals have gathered for decades to tell stories and exchange goods. A loud bunch, the vendors may be a little confronting at first with their screaming and yelling, but don’t worry, they really do love you.
Just around the corner from the hotel is one of Hong Kong’s finest Dim Sum brands, Fook Lam Moon. Their delicious dim sum is available every day, with special varieties on the weekend.
