Old Tai O Police Station, Heritage hotel in Tai O, Lantau Island, Hong Kong

The Old Tai O Police Station consists of two blocks on a hill beside Tai O Ferry Pier: a two-storey main block with Chinese square-tile roofing, flying eaves and arched verandas, and an outhouse block linked by a first-floor footbridge. A cannon, a mast and a water tank stand in front of the main block. Since 2012 it has operated as the nine-room Tai O Heritage Hotel.

A temporary police post opened in a Chinese building in May 1899; the permanent station was built on the hill by Tai O Ferry Pier in 1902 to fight piracy and smuggling, with 15 men posted there in 1903. Its upper floor was rebuilt in reinforced concrete in 1918, and the station was downgraded to a patrol post in 1996 and left vacant in 2002. It reopened in 2012 as the nine-room Tai O Heritage Hotel.

The former charge room now serves as a heritage centre displaying police memorabilia, photographs and films from the station's years of operation. The hotel's nine rooms are named after police ranks, Tai O landmarks or police launches, and the rooftop restaurant is called Tai O Lookout. The hotel runs heritage tours and food and ecology activities with the Tai O community.

Rooms are named after local landmarks and former police ranks, with an on-site restaurant serving meals throughout the day. The hilltop location means comfortable shoes are helpful for walking around the area and taking in views of the surroundings.

Bullet holes from a 1918 incident remain visible on the structure, marking when an officer committed murder and suicide inside the station. These marks serve as a reminder of a turbulent chapter in this place's past.
