Hopewell Centre is an office tower at 183 Queen's Road East in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Hopewell Holdings developed it, with Gordon Wu and WMKY Limited as architects and Ove Arup and Partners as structural engineer. Construction ran from 1977 to 1980. It was the first circular skyscraper in Hong Kong.
The tower rises 728 feet (222 meters) with 64 stories and about 1.19 million square feet of floor area. White bumps between the windows hold built-in guide rails for window washers. A circular private swimming pool sits on the roof, and a revolving restaurant on the 62nd floor rotates once per hour.
It was the tallest building in Hong Kong from 1980 until 1989. Today it houses commercial offices, including the headquarters of Hopewell Holdings. The Hopewell Mall, connected to the building, opened on November 1, 2024.
