      <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>by Aude Camus&nbsp;</strong> <br />  &nbsp; <br />  It’s been a few months since the last piece of our&nbsp;<a class="link" href="https://www.hongkongmadame.com/en/search/staycation/?titre=staycation+series" target="_blank">staycation series</a>  ! But we are back at it and today we are exploring a neighborhood we never staid at before: Tsim Sha Tsui/Jordan.&nbsp; <br />  &nbsp; <br />  When it comes to exploring Hong Kong, accommodations options are not lacking! We have been staying at a few of the many luxurious hotels in town already, those are easy to find. But we couldn’t help but noticing Hong Kong is kind of lacking design boutique hotels: places with sleek design offering a more laid-back experience than the five-stars property and delivering a more authentic experience of the city. Seems like Butterfly Hospitality Group heard the demand for such accommodation since they recently opened&nbsp;<strong>Page148</strong>, a lifestyle-focused haven for urban explorers.&nbsp; <br />  &nbsp; <br />  Highlights of the hotel includes: <br />  &nbsp; <br />   <br />  <strong>Sleek and Instagram-worthy design&nbsp;</strong></div>

      <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br />  I loved how simple yet sleek and very contemporary my&nbsp;<a class="link" href="https://pagehotels.com/en/page148/room-detail/signature-greenery" target="_blank">Signature Greenery room</a>  &nbsp;was. No complicated technology, no frills, just few necessary modern amenities to make my stay comfortable. Oh, and the view of the neighboring greenery and skyscrapers … <br />  &nbsp; <br />   <br />  <strong>An authentic experience brought to you by some of the city’s most innovative and up-and-coming photographers, baristas, urban sketchers …&nbsp;</strong></div>

     </div>
     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br />  The hotel is curating a&nbsp;<a class="link" href="https://pagecommon.pagehotels.com/" target="_blank">list of local insiders</a>  &nbsp;in order to deliver an authentic local experience to its guests.&nbsp; <br />  Whether you are living in Hong Kong or only visiting for a few days, their&nbsp;<strong>Urban Explorers Series&nbsp;</strong>will have you wander the city like a true local! I’ve been living in Hong Kong for 4 years now and was surprised to see how many new addresses and places I could still discover through this series. Can’t wait for them to introduce more travel around town itineraries!&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />  &nbsp; <br />   <br />  <strong>Page Common, a lobby/coffee-shop aiming at inspiring people&nbsp;</strong></div>

     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br />  The hotel lobby isn’t just any lobby. It has been thought of as a coffee house which design aims to encourage people engagement: from sharing coffee with the neighborhood inhabitants to participating to a coffee tasting with the baristas, borrowing a book to learn more about the surroundings or sharing travel stories. Loving it that they are using the growing coffee culture to create a space for the lifestyle community. <br />  &nbsp;</div>

     </div>
     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>by Aude</strong> <br />  &nbsp; <br />  Have you been following our staycation series? The two previous hotels –&nbsp;<a class="link" href="https://www.hongkongmadame.com/en/Staycation-series-1-W-Hong-Kong_a1803.html" target="_blank">W Hong Kong</a>  and&nbsp;<a class="link" href="https://www.hongkongmadame.com/en/Staycation-series-2-The-St-Regis-Macao_a1810.html" target="_blank">The St. Regis Macau</a>  – were rather “luxurious and well-known hotel chain” options. But that does not mean I only swear by five-star hotels. I actually love experiencing different kind of options and this time I am taking you with me to a very urban address:&nbsp;<a class="link" href="http://www.thefleming.com/" target="_blank">The Fleming</a>. <br />  &nbsp;</div>  
     </div>
     <br style="clear:both;"/>
     <div style="position:relative; text-align : center; padding-bottom: 1em;">
      <img src="https://www.hongkongmadame.com/en/photo/art/default/22483265-25170427.jpg?v=1527244781" alt="Staycation series #3 – The Fleming" title="Staycation series #3 – The Fleming" />
     </div>
     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">First opened in 2006, the hotel reopened in 2017 after a super successful makeover handled by design agency <strong>A Work of Substanc</strong>e. If you ask me, The Fleming is the epitome of Boutique Hotel: urban small hotel (66 rooms), located in a vibrant area (Wan Chai), featuring amazingly detailed design and offering perfect service.&nbsp; <br />   <br />  &nbsp;</div>  
     </div>
     <br style="clear:both;"/>
     <div style="position:relative; text-align : center; padding-bottom: 1em;">
      <img src="https://www.hongkongmadame.com/en/photo/art/default/22483265-25170431.jpg?v=1527244809" alt="Staycation series #3 – The Fleming" title="Staycation series #3 – The Fleming" />
     </div>
     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Staying at The Fleming is a true experience. If you are into design, you’ll love it. If you are not, you’ll love it too. The interior design of the hotel is very unique, inspired by Hong Kong’s maritime heritage and the cross-harbour ferry. <br />   <br />  &nbsp;</div>  
     </div>
     <br style="clear:both;"/>
     <div style="position:relative; text-align : center; padding-bottom: 1em;">
      <img src="https://www.hongkongmadame.com/en/photo/art/default/22483265-25170437.jpg?v=1527244854" alt="Staycation series #3 – The Fleming" title="Staycation series #3 – The Fleming" />
     </div>
     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">The minute you check-in at The Lounge you feel like stepping on-board a ferry. But wait until you discover your room! Wooden floor, bottled green and navy-blue colours, open wardrobe … almost feel like being on a luxurious cruise. I just loved it! You know how it is when sometimes they tell you about the inspiration behind the interior design and no matter how deep you look you just don’t see it. Well The Fleming is the complete opposite, they don’t even need to tell you what the inspiration behind the hotel’s design is, it’s just obvious (but yet through very subtle details).&nbsp; <br />  &nbsp;</div>  
     </div>
     <br style="clear:both;"/>
     <div style="position:relative; text-align : center; padding-bottom: 1em;">

     </div>
     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">If you ask me, the hotel is just a perfect option if you have friends and families visiting Hong Kong. And even though it does not feature a pool or a club lounge or even a spa like bigger and more luxurious hotels usually do, it can also be a super nice staycation hotel. Isn’t it the all point of staycation to enjoy a short break in your own city and be able to explore it in a different way? Here’s my plan for a perfect staycation in the heart of Wan Chai.&nbsp; <br />  &nbsp;</div>  
     </div>
     <br style="clear:both;"/>
     <div style="position:relative; text-align : center; padding-bottom: 1em;">

     </div>
     <div>
      <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#ff99cc;"><strong>7 pm</strong></span></div>    <div style="text-align: justify;">Check-in at The Fleming Hong Kong and do a little room tour. Did you know that each room features art and photography from Hong Kong based artists?&nbsp; <br />  But don’t turn on the TV yet, we will have plenty of time to watch a movie later and play with Apple TV. Right now, if you are up for it I’m taking you for a drink outside.&nbsp; <br />   <br />  &nbsp;</div>    <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#ff99cc;"><strong>8 pm</strong></span></div>    <div style="text-align: justify;">Drink on the rooftop at Wooloomooloo, 5 min walking distance from The Fleming. <br />   <br />  &nbsp;</div>    <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#ff99cc;"><strong>9 pm</strong></span></div>    <div style="text-align: justify;">Aren’t you hungry? I am starving! Few options available, you choose <br />  &nbsp;</div>  
     </div>
     <br style="clear:both;"/>
     <div style="position:relative; text-align : center; padding-bottom: 1em;">

     </div>
     <div>
      <div class="list">&nbsp;</div>    <ol>  	<li class="list" style="text-align: justify;">Going back to the hotel and having dinner at&nbsp;<strong>Osteria Marzia</strong>, the hotel’s all-day dining concept operated by Black Sheep Restaurants group, featuring a coastal-Italian inspired menu with dishes such as housemade pasta or fishes from the grill.</li>  	<li class="list" style="text-align: justify;">Heading to my fav French bistro in town, <strong>Le Bistro Winebeast</strong>, located again in a 5 min walking distance from the hotel&nbsp;</li>  	<li class="list" style="text-align: justify;">Going to <strong>Pici</strong> for Spritz and homemade pasta</li>  </ol>  &nbsp; <br />  And if you like none of the three options above, feel free to ask the 24-hour concierge or check the customized Luxe City Guide available in the room for the latest Hong Kong hotspots. <br />   <br />  &nbsp;  <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#ff99cc;"><strong>11 pm</strong></span></div>  Should we go for one last drink? It’s holiday after all. Maybe at <strong>The Pawn</strong> to enjoy a bit of colonial retro vibes. Or at <strong>Ophelia</strong> for another kind of experience.&nbsp; <br />   <br />  &nbsp;
     </div>
     <br style="clear:both;"/>
     <div style="position:relative; text-align : center; padding-bottom: 1em;">

     </div>
     <div>
      <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#ff99cc;"><strong>12 am</strong></span></div>  Back at the hotel. Go&nbsp;ahead, choose whatever movie you wanna watch, I’m gonna enjoy a nice long shower and check the in-room beauty amenities.&nbsp; <br />  &nbsp;

     <div style="position:relative; text-align : center; padding-bottom: 1em;">

     </div>
     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">I must confess a deep love for hotel-room amenities and the bespoke “Shen Nong” ones at The Fleming are everything I love: beautiful packaging, tailor-made formula based on the principles of Chinese apothecary with different selections for morning and evening and super fresh plus addictive scents.&nbsp; <br />  &nbsp;</div>    <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#ff99cc;"><strong>9 am&nbsp;</strong></span></div>    <div style="text-align: justify;">No … please just give me an extra hour. This mattress is just comfortable. What. Breakfast? Did you just say breakfast? Ok, I’m getting up! There is no way I can miss breakfast, this is my fav thing ever when staying in a hotel. Complimentary continental breakfast is served every day and for all guest at Osteria Marzia. A small and rather simple buffet but quite enjoyable one featuring Italian cold cuts, Danishes, homemade yogurts and fresh fruits.&nbsp; <br />   <br />  &nbsp;</div>    <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#ff99cc;"><strong>10 am</strong></span></div>    <div style="text-align: justify;">Should we hit the gym and sweat out some calories? The hotel doesn’t have a gym but has arranged for the guests to use the <strong>Goji Studio</strong> fitness centre located within a five-minute walk. Super convenient.&nbsp; <br />   <br />  &nbsp;</div>    <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#ff99cc;"><strong>12 pm&nbsp;</strong></span></div>    <div style="text-align: justify;">Well, I guess it’s time to check out. But that doesn’t mean we cannot spend the afternoon exploring the neighbourhood before heading back home. You know what actually? I feel like going on a ferry ride! Perfect ending for this Hong Kong’s maritime heritage inspired staycation.&nbsp; <br />  &nbsp; <br />  &nbsp; <br />  <em><a class="link" href="http://www.thefleming.com/">The Fleming</a>  </em> <br />  <em>41 Fleming Road – Wan Chai&nbsp;</em> <br />   <br />  &nbsp;</div>

      <strong>by Aude</strong> <br />  &nbsp; <br />  I am always up for a little staycation and have been hitting the beds of several hotels in the 852 but to be honest I am usually going for chains and hotels with a pool and a spa, never spent the night in a urban boutique hotel. That’s why I was pretty excited to discover <a class="link" href="http://thefleming.com/">The Fleming</a>, newly re-opened after a total makeover by design agency <a class="link" href="https://www.aworkofsubstance.com/en/">A Work of Substance</a>.
     </div>

     </div>
     <div>
      Blend together an ideal location in lively Wan Chai, slick design inspired by Hong Kong’s iconic cross-harbour ferries and maritime heritage and last but not least an Italian trattoria serving the best of Italian coastal cuisine and you got the ideal hotel for “<em>style-conscious travellers who want to feel plugged-in to who’s who and what’s what when they come to Hong Kong</em>” said John Hui, Owner.&nbsp;
     </div>

     </div>
     <div>
      The opening party was quite a thing (involving a 50 Shades of Grey themed room but shhh don’t tell anyone we have been naughty girls) and had me fell in love with the unique design of the place: bamboo scaffolding –inspired outdoor lighting, cross-harbour ferry-style seating, gleaming red lacquer elevators, beautiful palette of bottle green, gold and red … Every little details has been carefully thought, such as the signature scent shower gel tailor-made according to Chinese apothecary, to create a unique, stylish but not showy place. I definitely need to plan myself a staycation there! I actually already know what it would looks like …&nbsp;

      Taking pictures of each and every corner of the beautiful room, going through the Luxe City Guide curated by the hotel and asking the help of the 24-hour concierge to be plugged into the latest Hong Kong spots, sweating some calories out at Goji Studios just around the corner and then stuffing myself at <a class="link" href="https://www.osteriamarzia.com.hk/">O</a>  <a class="link" href="https://www.osteriamarzia.com.hk/">steria Marzia</a>  with Chef Marinelli’s famous pasta dishes.
