Where to stay for Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong (JGW) 2026: the closest hotels to AsiaWorld-Expo & Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre are in Wan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui, with Tung Chung/Airport a short ride away. The fair runs 14 Sept to 20 Sept 2026 and rooms near the venue sell out first, so book a free-cancellation rate early. Pay Weekly lets you split your hotel over up to 16 weeks.
Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong (JGW) is one of the world's largest jewellery and gemstone trade fairs, spanning fine jewellery, loose diamonds, coloured stones, pearls, findings and equipment. It runs each September across two venues: AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE) beside Hong Kong International Airport and the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in Wan Chai, connected by shuttle. For a hotel-booking traveller, Hong Kong's density and transit are a strong advantage: HKCEC sits in central Wan Chai on the MTR, while AsiaWorld-Expo has its own Airport Express station, so buyers can base themselves centrally and reach both sites easily. Staying on Hong Kong Island near an MTR station keeps commutes short and puts dining and business amenities close, while an airport-area hotel suits those focused on the AsiaWorld-Expo halls. Because JGW is a high-value international event, well-located rooms fill and rates climb, making early booking sensible.
Popular areas for attendees: Wan Chai · Tsim Sha Tsui · Tung Chung/Airport.
- JGW splits across HKCEC in Wan Chai and AsiaWorld-Expo by the airport, so central MTR access reaches both by rail and shuttle.
- HKCEC sits in central Wan Chai on the MTR, putting thousands of rooms within a short ride.
- AsiaWorld-Expo has its own Airport Express station, so an airport-area base suits AWE-focused buyers.
- JGW is a high-value September event that fills central hotels, so early booking secures rate and location.

Pay Weekly: common questions
Do I pay any interest?
No. There is no interest and no extra charge. Your plan total is exactly the hotel price shown when you book. The only fee we ever charge is a processing fee on cash refunds (see 'What fees apply?').
How many payments can I make?
Depending on how far away your trip is, you can split your booking into between 2 and 16 weekly payments. The exact schedule is shown before you book.
What happens after I pay my deposit?
Your hotel is booked and confirmed immediately. You receive your booking confirmation and your full payment schedule by email, and the remaining payments are charged automatically each week.
How are the weekly payments taken?
Automatically. After your first payment, each weekly payment is charged to your saved card, and we send you a reminder 2 days before every charge. In a few countries where automatic card charges are not allowed, we email you a secure payment link each week instead. You can switch to a different card at any time.
Can I pay early?
Yes. Sign in to your Event Escapes account at any time and pay off your remaining balance in one payment, whenever it suits you. There is never a fee for paying early.
What happens if I miss a payment?
We retry your card automatically and email you a secure payment link so you can pay another way, plus a final notice with one link to clear the remaining balance. If the plan still cannot be completed, we cancel the room before its free-cancellation deadline and everything you have paid goes into your Event Escapes Wallet in full. You never lose the money you have paid. You can turn that credit into a cash refund at any time (the processing fee applies).

Getting there
From Hong Kong International Airport (HKG)

Between the two venues
- A shuttle links AsiaWorld-Expo and HKCEC during the fair; confirm the current timetable.
- The Airport Express plus MTR connects the airport-side and Wan Chai-side halls by rail.

Visa & entry
Visa-free entry to Hong Kong SAR

Travellers who need a visa in advance
