Hong Kong’s hotel space is set to get a new player in one of the busiest parts of the city. Boutique hotel Kimpton is gearing up to launch a new location in Tsim Sha Tsui in the second half of 2025, bringing its signature trendy and personalised hospitality to the SAR. The hotel will be on the site of the historic Mariners’ Club, an over 50-year-old building that was demolished in 2018. The new offering will be spread over 40 floors and have nearly 500 rooms, making the Kimpton brand’s largest global property.
Kimpton Hong Kong Address and Facilities
Kimpton Hong Kong Tsim Sha Tsui, as it will be officially called, is being developed by Empire Group, the firm behind numerous residential, commercial, and hospitality properties in the territory — most notably the Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong. When the hotel opens in Q3 2025 at 11 Middle Road, guests can choose from 492 sea-facing rooms overlooking Victoria Harbour, and have access to a 50th-storey rooftop pool, a sprawling wellness centre, and a sky garden.
According to the amenities list, the hotel will offer the complimentary Kimpton Kids Program, which includes family-friendly dining, bunk bed rooms, kids’ happy hour, and accredited babysitters for young children. Families with infants and toddlers can request for child safety kits with devices like outlet covers, toilet latches and nightlights, as well as cribs and playards. Pet parents will pay no additional charge for their furry friends and can avail facilities like plush pet beds in the guest room, food, water bowls, and mats.
History of the Tsim Sha Tsui Location
The Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group is a San Francisco-based hotel and restaurant brand owned by IHG Hotels & Resorts, which also operates InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong, Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Kowloon East, and Holiday Inn Golden Mile Hong Kong. Kimpton has locations in Los Angeles, London, and Bangkok, among other cities, but its Hong Kong property will be the largest in its portfolio.
The hotel has come up where the Tsim Sha Tsui Mariners’ Club had been since 1967. The 12-storey building, which was run by the Sailors Home and Missions to Seamen, provided affordable accommodation to seafarers in Hong Kong until 2018 when it was brought down. The club will reopen on the same site and take up the first eight floors of the structure with facilities like seamen, a church, restaurants, conference rooms, and a lounge. The Kimpton will occupy floors nine to 42 of the building.
