MO The Landmark

Mandarin Oriental The Landmark, Hong Kong reopened on 1 June 2026 after a Joyce Wang redesign, renamed from The Landmark Mandarin Oriental. It is a small Central house wrapped around a fine-dining floor no other Hong Kong hotel matches: seven Michelin stars on one level, including two three-star restaurants. There are no harbour views at all.

What makes MO The Landmark special?

The reason to book is the seventh floor. Mandarin Oriental The Landmark, Hong Kong concentrates seven Michelin stars and a Green Star on a single level, including two separate three-star restaurants, Amber and Sushi Shikon. No other Hong Kong hotel matches that density. Get the name right first: the property traded as The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong from its 2005 opening until the 2026 relaunch, and Mandarin Oriental's own April 2026 release uses the new name throughout. It reopened on 1 June 2026 with interiors by Hong Kong interior architect Joyce Wang. Arrival changed completely. A new entrance on Queen's Road Central opens into the Mansion Foyer, where a curved stone staircase rises to an intimate lobby lounge finished in warm terracotta and deep green tones drawn from the historic Hong Kong residences Yu Yuen and Tai Fu Tai, with commissioned artworks set into alcoves. Richard Ekkebus has run the culinary programme for 21 years. Two facts to hold onto: this hotel holds no Michelin Keys, and it has no harbour views whatsoever.

Which room should you book?

This is a small house, and the exact count is disputed by the hotel's own paperwork: the reopening press release says 109 rooms and suites have been entirely refreshed, while the boilerplate at the foot of the same release still says 111. Treat it as around 110 and expect the intimacy that implies. Entry-level L450 rooms start at 42 square metres, which is generous for Central, with lightened timber floors, Fromental silk wall coverings and Quivera 530-thread-count linen. From L600 upwards the hotel keeps its signature: a curved glass-walled bathroom built around a seven-foot round bathtub, which remains the hotel's best-known design feature. At the top, the 167-square-metre Entertainment Suite has a Gaggenau kitchen, private dining for eight and a FreshBed climate-controlled sleep system. What no category offers is water. There are no harbour views from this hotel at all; rooms look into the Central skyline and the LANDMARK complex, so book it for the address and the dining, not the outlook.

Where should you eat and drink?

Seven Michelin stars sit on the seventh floor, which is the whole argument for this hotel. Amber, under Culinary and Food and Beverage Director Richard Ekkebus, holds three stars and a MICHELIN Green Star, one of only four Green Stars in Hong Kong in the 2026 guide. Sushi Shikon holds three stars. Kappo Rin, a Japanese kappo room, holds one. Two three-star restaurants under one roof is something no other hotel in the city offers. The unstarred venues are not filler: SOMM is a contemporary French bistro, BLANC DE NOIRS is a new champagne bar built around premium cuvees, and COMMUNE is a new artisan coffee atelier in the lobby. Amber has also added The Cellar Immersion, a food and wine journey staged in the restaurant's cellar. One correction worth making, because it is a common error: Cristal Room by Anne-Sophie Pic, promoted to two stars in 2026, is in Gloucester Tower at LANDMARK, not in this hotel.

What is the spa and pool like?

Check before you book: the Mandarin Oriental Spa and Wellness was due to open in July 2026, a month after the hotel itself reopened on 1 June 2026, so confirm it is live for your dates rather than assuming it. As unveiled, the spa carries dedicated Yoga, Pilates and Gyrotonic studios, a gym, extensive thermal amenities and exclusive Hammam and Rasul rituals that blend Eastern and Western modalities. The swimming pool is a lap pool, and it is indoor. It is not an infinity pool, not on the roof, and it has no harbour outlook, because this hotel has no harbour outlook anywhere. If you want to swim outdoors above Victoria Harbour, this is the wrong Central address. If you want a serious thermal and treatment programme in the middle of Central, this is a strong one, subject to that opening date.

Where is MO The Landmark, and how do you get there?

The address is as central as Hong Kong gets: inside the LANDMARK complex at 15 Queen's Road Central, in the heart of Central. Central MTR station connects directly through the complex, roughly 2 to 4 minutes entirely under cover, which matters in a city with subtropical downpours and August heat. Hong Kong Station, the Airport Express terminus, is about 8 to 10 minutes on foot via the Central elevated walkways, and the Airport Express reaches Hong Kong International Airport in roughly 24 minutes. Central Star Ferry Pier is about 10 to 12 minutes away on foot. The LANDMARK's luxury retail is literally downstairs, and the bars and restaurants of Central, Lan Kwai Fong and Soho are within walking distance, with the Central to Mid-Levels escalator close by. One caution: the LANDMARK complex is itself being redeveloped under the Tomorrow's CENTRAL project, so check for construction disruption around the hotel before you book.

What do guests consistently say?

Read guest feedback here with caution, because the hotel only reopened on 1 June 2026 and the review base is still thin. What comes through most clearly is the seventh floor: eating at a three-star restaurant and taking a lift back to your room is a genuinely different experience, and Amber's long run under Richard Ekkebus gives this small hotel a serious-dining reputation the room count would not otherwise support. The curved glass-walled bathroom with its round bathtub is the other thing guests photograph and remember. On the other side, three themes recur, carried over from the pre-closure property. Guests regularly report that the absence of any harbour view is the biggest disappointment, especially for first-time visitors sold on Hong Kong's waterfront. A recurring complaint is that public areas feel dominated by restaurant traffic rather than resident guests. The third is timing: the spa and lap pool were only scheduled to open in July 2026, so the earliest guests could not use them.

Honest cons: who should skip it?

Three real drawbacks. First, there are no harbour views at all. The hotel looks into the Central skyline and the LANDMARK atrium, which is a hard trade-off in a city sold on its waterfront, and no room category solves it. Second, this is a small hotel wrapped around one of Asia's busiest fine-dining floors, so lobby and lift traffic skews toward restaurant guests rather than residents, and the sense of a private house comes and goes with the service. Third, the surrounding LANDMARK complex is being redeveloped as part of the Tomorrow's CENTRAL project, so construction noise and hoarding in the immediate area are an active risk to check at the time of booking. Add two smaller points: the spa and lap pool were only due to open in July 2026, so confirm they are running, and the hotel holds no Michelin Keys, despite the stars. The One Key in the 2025 selection went to the separate Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong.
