Located in the heart of Central, Mandarin Oriental The Landmark, Hong Kong returns with a renewed arrival experience, refreshed rooms and suites, and expanded culinary and wellness offerings, marking a new era for this celebrated Asian property. Reimagined by Hong Kong interior architect Joyce Wang, founder and principal of Joyce Wang Studio, its 109 rooms and suites offer an intimate residential base in the city, while seven Michelin stars on the seventh floor affirm its place among Asia’s distinctive culinary destinations.

The journey begins at a new entrance on Queen’s Road Central, creating a considered transition from the energy of the city to the calm within. Inside, the arrival sequence draws on the grand residences of Hong Kong’s past, carefully reinterpreted for today. Warm terracotta tones and deep greens echo the façades and gardens of historic homes such as Yu Yuen in the New Territories and Tai Fu Tai, with its distinctive blend of Qing Dynasty and Western influences.
A curved stone staircase gently guides guests upward, transitioning from the mansion-like foyer to an intimate lobby lounge above. Alcoves carved along the ascent display commissioned artworks on sculptural plinths. Inspired by the cityscape, these works echo Hong Kong’s skyline and energy and are reflected in carpet designs, tapestries and gilded glass mirrors in lifts and corridors.

Wang commented: “For this latest renovation, we were inspired by the identity of our hotel as a pied-à-terre for our guests to feel the pulse of Hong Kong. Curated pieces are windows into expressions of our city through the lenses of both local and international, and emerging and established artists. As you journey through the hotel, we hope these storied perspectives fill you with curiosity and contemplation, at the ready to strike up conversations.”
The hotel’s 109 rooms and suites have been entirely refreshed by Wang, continuing the residential narrative of the public spaces. Starting at 42 square metres, the L450 rooms are conceived as spacious urban sanctuaries, featuring lightened timber floors, patinated walls, Fromental silk wall coverings and custom rugs inspired by historic brickwork patterns found across the city.
King or twin beds, with sculpted quilted leather headboards, are dressed in Quivera 530-thread-count linen, while L600 rooms and above retain the hotel’s signature curved, glass-walled bathrooms, centred on its iconic seven-foot round bathtub.

At 167 square metres, the Entertainment Suite is a refined residence, equally suited to intimate gatherings. It features a state-of-the-art entertainment wall, a Gaggenau kitchen, private dining for eight, and a master bedroom equipped with the FreshBed climate-controlled sleep system.
Over the course of two decades, Mandarin Oriental The Landmark, Hong Kong has evolved into one of Asia’s premier fine-dining destinations under the leadership of Culinary and Food & Beverage Director Richard Ekkebus. That culinary vision continues to set the pace. Amber, the flagship restaurant, holds three Michelin stars and a Michelin Green Star. Chef Richard Ekkebus’ cuisine is grounded in classical French technique, enriched by his long-standing presence in Hong Kong, resulting in layered, precise cooking rooted in sustainability and defined by a distinct Asian sensibility. Heightening the experience is the introduction of The Cellar Immersion, an immersive food and wine journey held within Amber’s dramatic cellar. This new signature destination goes beyond usual pairings and offers a curated sensory exploration of terroir, craftsmanship, and vintages.

On the same floor as Amber are three-Michelin-starred Sushi Shikon, Michelin-starred Kappo Rin, and contemporary French bistro SOMM. Completing the remarkable culinary offering is new champagne bar BLANC DE NOIRS, dedicated to premium cuvées.
Also new is COMMUNE, an artisan coffee atelier conceived as a vibrant social hub at the heart of the lobby. Designed as both a welcoming first touchpoint for arriving guests and a destination in its own right, it invites the city’s residents and visitors to pause, connect and savour expertly crafted coffee within an atmosphere of understated elegance.
Chef Ekkebus commented: “After 21 years of being part of this remarkable journey, the reopening of Mandarin Oriental The Landmark, Hong Kong feels like an extraordinary new chapter. This new era celebrates an exceptional collection of restaurants and bars, together holding seven MICHELIN Stars and one Green MICHELIN Star, and we are proud to continue shaping its story through creativity, craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to sustainability.”
