Completed in 1916, the Helena May was the brainchild of Lady May, wife of the Governor of Hong Kong from 1912 to 1919. Intended as a hostel for working women of moderate means, today it provides accommodation for women of all nationalities. Of particular interest is the exquisitely decorated entrance porch that is flanked on either side by two neoclassical columns, adding to the Baroque-Rococo look of the building. (Not open to the public.)

The building is a declared monument of Hong Kong.
