The Emperor Hotel
Contemporary design-forward tower with industrial-organic interiors, Autoban-designed rooms, a living vertical garden by Patrick Blanc, and a Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant anchoring the food scene.
Book Golden Valley for dim sum on weekends — it opens at 10:30am Saturday/Sunday and public holidays, earlier than the weekday lunch service.
Why It Matters
Home to Golden Valley, which has held one Michelin Star for 7 consecutive years. The design collaboration between Turkish firm Autoban and French botanist Patrick Blanc gives the property a genuinely distinctive interior identity — unusual for a mid-sized Wan Chai business hotel.
Originally opened in 1996 as The Emperor (Happy Valley) Hotel, this property relocated to Queen's Road East in Wan Chai and rebranded as The Emperor Hotel in 2017. The design is a genuine collaboration — Turkish studio Autoban handled the interiors, while French botanist Patrick Blanc contributed a signature vertical garden. Rooms mix industrial edge with organic warmth. The real standout is the dining: Golden Valley holds a Michelin star. No pool, but the rooftop bar The Crown delivers 270-degree city views over Wan Chai and Happy Valley.
