When it comes to Muslim-friendly destinations in East Asia, Hong Kong probably doesn’t always come to mind compared to places like Singapore and Malaysia. But you’d be delightfully surprised that Hong Kong is actually very Muslim-friendly, whether it’s halal food options or halal-friendly hotels to stay in. There is a growing number of halal-certified restaurants in the city, as well as an increasing number of CrescentRated Muslim-friendly hotels. In this article, we’ve rounded up some of the best Muslim-friendly halal hotels in Hong Kong to stay at for your trip.
It is no surprise that many of these hotels are located in Tsim Sha Tsui, as it is probably the most Muslim-friendly area in Hong Kong. Tsim Sha Tsui has many halal food options, and it is home to the famous Kowloon Mosque. The area also offers many shopping options and is home to several cultural landmarks. As for Hong Kong Island, I’d recommend areas such as Wan Chai, Central/Sheung Wan, or Causeway Bay. Wan Chai has a more gritty, local vibe, and there are a number of halal restaurants, as well as being within walking distance of Masjid Ammar. The Central/Sheung Wan area is also a good option as it is connected to the Mid-Levels, where Jamia Mosque, i.e. Hong Kong’s oldest mosque, is situated, and offers a good variety of halal food options. Causeway Bay is a vibrant area that’s great for shopping and food.
