Where to stay in Leighton Hill
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Leighton Hill is an address rather than a hotel quarter, so the choice falls to the two districts it sits between. Causeway Bay lies on one side of the slope, close enough that a walk down to Leighton Road and on into its streets takes only minutes, and it carries the room supply the hill itself does not. Happy Valley is the quieter side.
Its streets run within reach of the Wong Nai Chung Sports Centre, one of the public halls the record files against this ground.

About Leighton Hill
What are the main landmarks in Leighton Hill?
Five public sports halls make up the landmark record for Leighton Hill. Wong Nai Chung Sports Centre, Hong Kong Park Sports Centre, Harbour Road Sports Centre, Java Road Sports Centre and Quarry Bay Sports Centre are gathered from across Hong Kong, and a walk up from Leighton Road passes none of them. No museum or monument appears.
What the hill gives a visitor is the climb, out of Causeway Bay and over toward Happy Valley, with the streets below on either flank.
What is the history of Leighton Hill?
Leighton Hill carries no founding date in the record. The entry that fixes the place does it by neighbours instead, naming a hill that stands between Causeway Bay and Happy Valley with Leighton Road drawn along the ground to the north. Hill and road share the name.
Dated history in Hong Kong was written at the scale of the territory, so what this slope holds of a past it holds in common with Causeway Bay, Happy Valley and the streets around Leighton Road.
Where is Leighton Hill?
Leighton Hill rises between Causeway Bay and Happy Valley, a single slope of Hong Kong with Leighton Road running along the ground to its north.
