The demand for co-working spaces in Hong Kong has soared through the roof. Thus, a plethora of new options have sprung up. Co-working spaces offer a more wallet-friendly alternative to the costly rent of offices in the city. It’s not, however, just about the price for some. The shared offices bring together a social aspect, ideal for networking and meeting other aspiring start-up businesses. Amenities are equally as important, with some spaces boasting sun-lit terraces, luxe interior design, and even happy hour bars. Freelancers, start-ups and small businesses adjourn: here are some of the luxury co-working offices to work in.

Banyan Workspace

Slow, eco-conscious design dominates the concept behind luxury co-working office Banyan Workspace. Founded by couple Rasheed and Amy Shroff, the space focuses on green initiatives. It’s hard to imagine this was a former toy maufacturer’s warehouse prior to renovation. Designed by S.Lo Studio, the interiors bear sustainability and comfort from all angles with a contemporary-driven aesthetic. Decked with eucalyptus and paulownia wood (donned for its air purifying healing benefits), green velvet curtains and parquet floors at the in-house library, the office shouts exclusivity. Plus, there are harbor views from the desks. Banyan Workspace’s corporate social responsibility program donates two percent of income from members towards NGO charities. 

Suite 1204, Eastern Harbour Centre, 28 Hoi Chak Street, Quarry Bay, 2159-5599. Open Monday to Friday 9:00am to 6:00pm.

The Work Project

Ranked as one of the more expensive co-working offices in Hong Kong, The Work Project offers high-end service in an elegantly designed space. Just like at a luxury hotel, members are greeted by first-name basis and offered complimentary freshly brewed coffee, cookies and beverages. The interiors are developed by architectural studio Bean Buro. There’s a laid-back ambience with high ceilings and over 30,000 square feet of decadent décor and sculptural delights.

15/F, Soundwill Plaza ll – Midtown, 1-29 Tang Lung Street, Causeway Bay, 3896-1000. Open Monday to Friday 9:00am to 6:00pm.

Soho House

Soho House made its debut in southeast Asia here in Hong Kong, a private members’ club celebrated for its attraction of creatives. There’s no shortage of facilities at this Sheung Wan-based social club, which boasts a three-floor Soho Active gym, a yoga studio and a lounge room (with its own swimming pool smack in the middle of the bar). Soho Works, the co-working space occupies nine floors of the building for its members. 

33 Des Voeux Road West, Sheung Wan, 5803-8888. Open every day 8:00am to 2:00am.

Finest Design Nest

The quaint yet contemporary aesthetic at Finest Design Nest welcomes a community of designers from around the city. The 8,200 square foot co-working space is a hive for creative entrepreneurs and enterprises in an elegant space. Explore the innovative rooms which go from a Drawing Room to a Workout Space to a coffee and idea-exchanging room — thus uniting sociable inventors and artists as the brand intends to.

Workshop C, 4/F Wui Wah Factory Building, 1035-1037 Yee Kuk West Street, Lai Chi Kok, 2741-1113. Open Monday to Saturday 9:00am to 10:00pm.

The Executive Centre

Raising the bar on luxury workspaces, The Executive Centre is a premium co-working hub furnished with modern interiors and extending its opulence with its plush sofas and an in-house barista. There are plenty of global networking opportunities at these offices. Make use of the in-house business concierge for those looking to start a new business, whilst gazing over some of the spectacular views.

Several locations around Hong Kong. Open Monday to Friday 9:00am to 6:00pm.

The Great Room

Removing any preconceptions of dull co-working spaces is The Great Room, nestled in the energetic yet cozy harborside environment of Quarry Bay. This sophisticated office boasts caramel and burnt umber tones throughout and is inspired by the historical roots of its location. Aptly named the old sugar refinery, the co-working space is set against the backdrop of mountain landscapes. 

23/F, One Taikoo Place, 979 King’s Road, Quarry Bay, 3850-8600. Open Monday to Friday 9:00am to 6:00pm.
