7 Best Hong Kong Hotels for a Disneyland Trip

If you’re planning a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland, one of the things you should know is that it’s in Lantau Island — still a part of Hong Kong, obviously, and still accessible by land, but quite a ways away from the city center. In fact, to get to Hong Kong Disneyland by train — that is, by the MTR, or the Hong Kong Metro — you would have to connect to the Tung Chung line, get off at Sunny Bay station, and switch to the Disneyland Resort Line. (See the MTR map here.) If your nearest MTR station is, for example, the popular Tsim Sha Tsui, which is on both the red Tsuen Wan and the dark magenta West Rail lines but not on the orange Tung Chung line, you would have to take three trains to get to Disneyland.

If Disneyland is the main focus of your Hong Kong trip, your best option for accommodations would be either of the three hotels located in Disneyland itself:

Disney’s Hollywood Hotel
Disney Explorers Lodge
Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel

However, if you plan on exploring the rest of Hong Kong and you want to stay in a hotel that is centrally located but still convenient for commuting by train to Disneyland, your best bets are the hotels near the Kowloon and Hong Kong MTR stations, both of which are on the Tung Chung line, so you don’t have to keep switching trains. As a bonus, both stations are also the two main stops of the Hong Kong Airport Express, which means they’re also convenient for travelling to/from the airport AND you can easily take advantage of their free In-town Check-in service.

The following are the best hotels near the Kowloon or Hong Kong stations of the MTR.

(Heads-up: some of them are rather steeply priced…but honestly worth the splurge.)
