In the midst of Causeway Bay’s constant motion, Lanson Place delivers a quieter, more refined stay — where elegant interiors, well-appointed suites and narrative-driven cocktails invite guests to slow down.
Set on the quieter stretch of Leighton Road, Lanson Place Causeway Bay feels intentionally residential – a welcome respite from the city’s relentless pace. Designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, the hotel blends French elegance with soft pastel tones, creating an atmosphere that feels polished but never showy. Beyond the reception, L’Orangerie on the ground floor is designed like a charming greenhouse, complete with plush sofas.
A member of Small Luxury Hotels (SLH.com), the property boasts 188 rooms, serviced apartments and six penthouses, all designed with light, space and comfort in mind. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the rooms with natural light, while layouts prioritise liveability, with dedicated work areas and generous lounging spaces. Some of the suites have kitchenettes with fridges, microwave ovens, kitchenware and more – perfect for heating up your takeaway egg tarts or golden bolo buns.
The six penthouses elevate the experience further with open-plan living and dining areas, en suite bedrooms, walk-in wardrobes and oversized windows. For longer stays, the serviced residences are equipped with induction cookers, dishwashers, washer-dryers and full-size refrigerators, alongside SMEG kettles and Le Creuset cookware.
At the elegant Salon Lanson, guests can enjoy a semi-buffet breakfast, lunch or dinner. New highlights for the lunch menu include pan‑fried red snapper served with spring vegetables laced with a lemon white wine butter sauce.
For dinner, tuck into gremolata and macadamia-crusted grilled king salmon featuring premium wild-caught New Zealand salmon paired with wilted kale, beetroot and a traditional dill cream. Round off with vanilla panna cotta or Granny Smith apple galette. After a day of shopping and exploring the city, there’s also crowd-pleasing comfort food to tuck in – think slurp-worthy Vietnamese pho and Malaysian curry laksa.
For pre-dinner drinks, Salon Lanson has launched the spring edition of its Hong Kong Odyssey cocktail series. This latest iteration presents a curated selection of nine bespoke cocktails, each crafted to capture the essence of the spring season and the storied streets found just a short walk from the hotel. The series continues to celebrate the local neighbourhood through a narrative-led menu, presented as a walking map.
For this season, the drinks largely lean on light, clean and delicate profiles of shochu. Standout concoctions include The Lanson Thaw, a refined take on the traditional clarified milk punch. The tropical sweetness of guava is balanced by the subtle herbal and spicy notes of perilla. The base is infused with shochu, lychee green tea and honey, before being clarified with fresh lemon juice.
A refreshing take on the classic sour is Harmony Bloom. In a creative twist, strawberry is balanced with white bean vinegar as a souring agent, lending a gentle acidity to the shochu. Elderflower syrup is added to introduce a delicate floral sweetness with a smooth, caramel-like finish. And inspired by the revitalised Central Market, the Pink Market Fizz is a playful yet refined hybrid of a highball and a seasonal spritz. This sparkling creation blends the fruitiness of lychee and raspberry with a clean shochu base, topped with chilled Prosecco for a bubbly finish.
To accompany the drinks, three curated canapé menus are available on rotation, each featuring six pieces of savoury and sweet items. Highlights range from Champagne-compressed watermelon with foie gras mousse, honey-glazed pork jowl with lime and lemongrass, poached red prawn tartare with Kristal caviar, to beef bourguignon tart and pistachio baklava.
For those who want to venture out for casual bites, there’s a host of local eateries nearby – so you will never go hungry. Within a short walking distance too are Times Square, Sogo and numerous boutiques. Lanson Place is a sanctuary of sorts to exhale and reset after navigating Causeway Bay’s shops and streets. Service is warm, gracious and always ready to assist. In between the bustle and the skyline, the hotel offers moments of pause. Meals worth lingering over, drinks with a story, and a stay that invites you to slow down.
