Gloucester Hotel rises on Causeway Bay’s harbourfront

Opening this month, the newly designed Gloucester Hotel gives trendy travellers a cosy home away from home on the waterfront in the heart of Hong Kong Island

The views can’t get any better than this. Fifty-five sleek and modern suites and rooms with floor-to-ceiling views of Victoria Harbour await guests at the newest boutique hotel in town. Situated right between Hong Kong’s bustling business and shopping districts Wan Chai and Causeway Bay, Gloucester Hotel provides busy travellers optimal efficiency and relaxed comfort for their travel experience.

Major landmark attractions, malls, and office buildings are within walking distance. These include the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Times Square and SOGO in Causeway Bay, Lockhart Road Bar Street in Wan Chai, and the Happy Valley Racecourse. Other major districts are only a few stops away on the MTR.

The new boutique hotel features a minimalist, edgy design that does away with the unnecessary formalities of a traditional hotel. At the naturally-lit lobby, arched windows overlook a streetscape from between the trees. One side of the wall is overlaid with a backdrop of Hong Kong’s skyline at night.

Every business traveller’s needs are covered in the sleek, fresh rooms, including Broadband internet and wireless access, iPod docking, and free local calls. All these and more ensure not just a comfortable atmosphere to work and relax, but also a smooth journey and stay in Hong Kong.

The rooms themselves give guests an ideal vantage point and unimpeded views of the spectacular harbour, which lights up nightly at 8pm. Even throughout the day’s regular hours, the in-room views are perfect for enjoying the bustling waterfront scene. And sunsets glistening on glass and water here are always especially romantic.

Beyond the hotel’s Japanese restaurant, visitors have a world of cuisines at their feet in Hong Kong, Asia’s culinary capital: leisurely afternoon dim sum, Michelin-star power lunches, and festive Peking duck dinners, all a short stroll away. That’s the beauty of Hong Kong and that of the Gloucester Hotel.

Gloucester Hotel is celebrating its grand opening debut with a special promotional rate of $1,680 per night and up. Contact 3996 2888 for more details.
