In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- All rooms are similarly styled and Starck-ed – light and airy, with the designer’s trademark white furnishings and a play of pastels on the fixtures and fittings. Space-wise, the luxurious suites have more to offer, but the rectangular Studio Twos feel surprisingly roomy.
- Packing tips
- Sturdy shoes for traipsing around vibrant Causeway Bay by day. Leave suitcase space for your night-time finery too – the HK crowd likes to dress up by night.
- Also
- Jia has compiled its own CD of chill-out tracks so be sure to slip a copy into your room’s state-of-the-art sound system.
Current offers
- Smith card offer
- A fruit basket and bottle of Voss water; members staying three nights or more can choose between a kick-boxing lesson and a bottle of champagne

- Sleek boutique, Starck-style
- Setting
- Hong Kong shopping hub
‘Jia’ means ‘home’ in Mandarin and it’s the ideal moniker for this Hong Kong boutique hotel in Causeway Bay, given its single-minded adherence to the concept of homeliness. Less a hotel, more a stylish selection of smart serviced apartments, Jia Hong Kong is Philippe Starck’s first foray into Asia; an achingly cool urban retreat where the food is as exquisitely designed as the furnishings.
