Wan Chai has always been an in-between. On my travels to Hong Kong many years ago, it was just one of the MTR stations that connected my trips from Causeway Bay to Tsim Sha Tsui, or vice versa. It was just another place I had to pass through when I wanted to explore Kennedy Town when it first opened up to both tourists and locals. It was, in my situation, merely an afterthought.
But with the recent opening of the first St. Regis property in Hong Kong, all eyes are now on Wan Chai. The St. Regis Hong Kong, with its rich heritage of luxury and all the beautiful trimmings, decided to call Wan Chai home and suddenly the neighborhood’s dynamism came to the fore.
The Hotel
The St. Regis brand doesn’t really need an introduction. Business travelers and leisure seekers look to it for its discreet and personable service and signature rituals. They look forward to immersing themselves in a beautifully curated world, whether it’s in their rooms or at a signature restaurant. And it’s no different at the St. Regis Hong Kong.
“The hotel’s incredible architecture and design beautifully captures the energy of Hong Kong through the lens of St. Regis’ signature glamorous spirit and sophistication,” shares Ms. Lisa Holladay, global brand leader for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. The towering structure, which is a few minutes away from the buzzing Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, may easily blend into the city’s sea of skyscrapers, but on the inside, renowned interior designer André Fu lends his signature touch to give the space a luxurious finish.
