THE LOCATION
Hollywood Road
A Living Chronicle of Hong Kong — named one of the World's Coolest Streets
A STREET WITH STORIES
From Holly Trees to Cultural Corridor
1844
The Beginning
Queen's Road becomes the first road built in colonial Hong Kong. Hollywood Road follows as the second — named after the native holly trees (Ilex) that once lined the roadside, not the famous district in Los Angeles.
1950s–1970s
The Antique Capital
The entire stretch from Hollywood Road through to Cat Street and Upper Lascar Row fills with antique shops, curio stores, and specialist dealers. The street becomes Asia's premier destination for antiquities — attracting collectors, dealers, and treasure hunters from around the world.
2000s
Cultural Renaissance
Contemporary art galleries begin to emerge alongside heritage dealers. Liang Yi Museum opens its doors, cementing Hollywood Road's reputation as a cultural destination. The art scene evolves to embrace both tradition and modernity.
Today
Where Heritage Meets
the Avant-Garde
The street is evolving — contemporary art galleries, design studios, and stylish cafés sit alongside heritage dealers. An eclectic, creative energy defines the new Hollywood Road. It is this unique convergence that makes it the perfect home for Salon on Hollywood.
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
More Than a Street
Hollywood Road sits at the heart of Sheung Wan and the wider Central and Western District — an area rich in cultural heritage, street life, and artistic energy.
Man Mo Temple
One of Hong Kong's oldest temples, built in 1847, stands just steps from the gallery district — a living connection to the city's spiritual heritage.
Cat Street Market
Upper Lascar Row, known locally as Cat Street, is an open-air bazaar of curios, vintage collectibles, and hidden gems — the perfect companion to the fine galleries above.
Art & Dining
A growing scene of independent cafés, wine bars, and restaurants has transformed the neighbourhood into a vibrant destination for culture and culinary discovery.
WHY HERE
