Dorsett Kai Tak, Hong Kong

Dorsett Kai Tak opened in August 2024 as Dorsett Hospitality International's new luxury flagship, a 373-room ground-up build on the site of Hong Kong's former Kai Tak Airport, directly beside the new 50,000-seat Kai Tak Sports Park stadium. It is the group's 10th hotel in Hong Kong and its most ambitious yet, with a rooftop infinity pool and a London rooftop-bar import, Jin Bo Law, making its Asian debut.

The place

Shing Kai Road, Kai Tak, Kowloon, on the site of the former Kai Tak Airport (closed 1998), adjacent to the 50,000-seat Kai Tak Sports Park stadium.

The concept

Dorsett Kai Tak opened in August 2024 as Dorsett Hospitality International's 10th hotel in its home city and the group's new luxury flagship, a ground-up build on the redeveloped former Kai Tak Airport site — the runway that served Hong Kong for 73 years until the airport relocated to Chek Lap Kok in 1998. The 373-room hotel is inspired by the waterfront's marina setting, with two Presidential Suites each featuring a private ocean-view terrace and barbecue facilities. It earned a BEAM Plus Gold green-building certification and sits directly beside the new 50,000-seat Kai Tak Sports Park stadium, host to Hong Kong's major sporting and concert events.

Dining & wellness

Siete Ocho, an all-day Spanish-Sichuan restaurant with an outdoor garden and four private dining rooms, anchors the hotel's food and beverage offer. Jin Bo Law, a London rooftop-bar import making its first Asian outpost here, sits alongside a 19-by-4.5-metre rooftop infinity pool overlooking the sports park and harbour.
