Summer is in full swing, and there’s no better time than now to book your vacation if you haven’t already done so. As one of the world’s most famous cities, Hong Kong is a fantastic holiday destination, offering countless tourist attractions and food and shopping options—which can most definitely be overwhelming for someone travelling there for the first time. One of the best ways to get the most out of Hong Kong is to head straight to K11 Victoria Dockside—a thriving art and design neighbourhood in the city’s central harbour-front hotspot, Tsim Tsa Shui. This world-class development combines culture, craftsmanship and entertainment, offering you plenty to see and do whilst you’re there. Ahead, we’ve put together an itinerary that will help you experience the highlights of what the city has to offer.
STAY
K11 ARTUS
If you want the best views of Hong Kong, this ultra-private residence is the place to make your booking. This luxurious 14-storey building overlooking the harbour—designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, an award-winning New York Based architectural studio—features the concept of an artisanal abode that comes with hotel facilities within its 287 residences. Each suite is complete with the comforts of a private home, including a living area, self-contained kitchen, ample closet space and a wraparound balcony at the foot of the bed, offering a coveted open-air view of the Hong Kong skyline that’s a dream to wake up to every morning.
Setting itself as the perfect environment for cultural creatives, great touches of art can be found throughout K11 ARTUS, with crafts produced specifically for the property by the K11 Crafts and Guild Foundation, and handpicked artefacts sourced exclusively for each suite.

Influenced by Hong Kong’s many dai pai dong (open-air food stalls), the harbourside store is the coffee brand’s sixth outlet in the region and looks completely picturesque against the backdrop of the city skyline.
