Hong Kong gets the Kerry
Billing itself as the city’s first urban resort, the new 546-room Kerry Hotel in Hong Kong opens its doors to guests offering outdoor living spaces and family activities as well as business and meeting services.
The debut of the hotel is an important milestone for Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts as it marks its fourth property in the city and the new flagship hotel of the Kerry brand.
“It is an integral component of the Kerry Hotel brand to embrace the community and take in the local culture. Kerry Hotel in Hong creates a vibrant hub where guests feel welcome and can expand on their lifestyle. The guest experience is enhanced by both the unique urban resort design and intuitive services,” says general manager Nicholas Smith. “We are excited to welcome our first guests to experience this new relaxed luxury approach to hospitality.”
Conceived by internationally renowned interior designer Andre Fu and award winning architect Rocco Design, the 16-storey hotel is the first to open on the Kowloon waterfront since 1995. Providing guests with uninterrupted views over Victoria Harbour, the hotel’s multi-level podium design with extensive outdoor landscaped gardens connect the hotel seamlessly to public areas.
“The introduction of Kerry Hotel to Hong Kong provides a different dimension for guests to experience this culturally rich and diverse city,” says Madhu Rao, acting president of Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. “As our fourth hotel in Hong Kong, the Kerry Hotel joins Kowloon Shangri-La, Island Shangri-La, and Hotel Jen Hong Kong in providing guests a wide range of hospitality experiences and amenities.”
Centrally located on Kowloon peninsula, guests of Kerry Hotel, Hong Kong can venture around the city by ferry, train, subway, bus, taxi, limousine, or on foot. The hotel is a short walk from the Hung Hom Ferry Pier, Whampoa MTR Station and Hung Hom Train Station. The Hong Kong International Airport and Airport Express Line (Kowloon station) are 40 minutes and 10 minutes car ride from the hotel, respectively. Tsim Sha Tsui East, the famed shopping district, is within a short walking distance.
Upon arrival in the lobby, guests will be welcomed by remarkable views of the waterfront through a curved glass window that soars eight metres high and spans a width of 80 metres. The lobby opens onto a vast outdoor garden with topiary hedges. Adding to the stylish decor is a 50-metre Turkish onyx marble wall leading to the Grand Staircase and Grand Ballroom.
