apartments. Ranging in size from 450 to 1,995 square feet, The Bauhinia’s
modern harbour view homes, just a few minutes from Sheung Wan station,
are ideally situated for work (Hong Kong’s core CBDs at Central and Admiralty
are within walking distance, as is the Airport Express and the Macau Ferry
Terminal), boast outstanding transit networks for families with kids, and put
the city’s premium dining and retail precincts—Central, SoHo, Lan Kwai
Fong, Tsim Sha Tsui—on visitors’ doorsteps.

Each of The Bauhinia’s apartments feature WiFi, cable television, fully
equipped kitchens and comfortable, contemporary interiors. The address
also offers a full complement of business services, and features a fitness
centre, executive lounge and conference facilities, as well as housekeeping.

                                                            near to the waterfront and just a few minutes from Kennedy Town station,
                                                            which puts the rest of Hong Kong on its doorstep: it takes fewer than 10
                                                            minutes get to the CBD in Central and under 25 to the office cluster of Island
                                                            East and Taikoo Place. As an added bonus, T Residence is pet-friendly—
                                                            not surprising considering the family-friendly urban oasis vibe of the area.

                OOOTOPIA
             While Tai Kok Tsui may not be a traditional location for a serviced apartment
             or its potential tenants, it is ideal for anyone looking for something a little
             different. Oootopia, rooted in a three-O concept of “opportunity, openness
             and originality”, is something of a sanctuary in busy, crowded Kowloon,
             tucked within a colourful, authentically Hong Kong neighbourhood that
             doesn’t sacrifice any of the city’s renowned ease (Oootopia operates a
             second, equally creative location in To Kwa Wan).

             To complement the unique and well-connected Tai Kok Tsui location,
             situated between the bustle of Mong Kok and the convenience of Olympian
             City, the address features studio, single, two-bedroom, tatami and loft-style
             apartments that appeal to a diverse array of residents—from teachers and
             artists to social workers and budding tech moguls. Oootopia’s efficient and
             fully outfitted flats are designed to encourage community with a common
             living room and kitchen, and a pantry on each floor, but all apartments offer
             complimentary WiFi and private bathrooms.
