Hotels exist for many purposes: offering a bed for weary travellers to stay the night, hosting special occasions, and unburdening travellers from life’s many responsibilities. 

Since the pandemic and the advent of the staycation phenomenon, hotel services have expanded to accommodate a weekend getaway or a workspace for remote employees. Daycations are also increasing in popularity, encouraging guests to enjoy a slow day surrounded by luxurious amenities like a private swimming pool, or a change of scenery whilst working from home. 

Looking to book a daycation? Pack your bags and grab your sunglasses; we speak to the experts at Flow—an app that helps travellers secure short stays anytime, anywhere—for recommendations on which hotels to book for the best summer daycations.

Note: In light of government regulations, please call ahead to inquire about operating hours and facility arrangements.

Eaton HK

Designed with comfort and practicality in mind, Eaton HK offers its guest a day of tranquillity away from the city. The hotel is particularly friendly towards those who are working remotely—on top of everything you would expect from a hotel, Eaton also provides a co-working space equipped with private offices, conference rooms, a theatre, and a screening room. After a long day, you can check out the hotel’s cultural event programming, filled to the brim with live music and art exhibitions.

The Royal Garden

You may already be familiar with The Royal Garden and its old-world grandeur. Indulge in Vietnamese cuisine at Le Soleil under the hotel’s 110-foot atrium while the afternoon sun shines gently through, or enjoy a swim at the temperature-regulated pool on the rooftop, which overlooks the Victoria Harbour. Those in need of a pamper session can book a spa treatment, which also includes a sauna room, jacuzzi, and steam room visit.

New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel

A daycationer with high standards for food should check out the New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel. With seven restaurants situated throughout the hotel, guests will be spoiled for choice on where to have their meals, from Japanese teppanyaki at Ranzan to French classics at La Table. We recommend getting some movement in after a meal, so feel free to float about on the rooftop swimming pool, or have a stroll on Victoria Harbour Waterfront right outside, and take in the renowned Hong Kong skyline. Available daycation reservations run out quickly, so book your daycation on Flow soon!
