“We are delighted to capture the luxurious harbourside experience for our distinctive guests. Whether they are in their hotel rooms, our wining and dining venues or other hotel facilities, they will always be accompanied by the world-renowned Victoria Harbour,” said Benedict Chow, General Manager, Harbour Grand Hong Kong. “In addition to unsurpassed luxury hospitality, it is the different perspectives of the harbour view that makes this hotel even more unique.”

A gigantic Swarovski chandelier, one of the largest in Hong Kong, welcomes guests as soon as they step into the hotel’s oval-shaped contemporary com Art Nouveau lobby. Under the
glittering 37-foot-high ceiling, streams of heart lightening melody from the specially-appointed harpist captivate guests, and alleviate every busy traveller’s mind. “If you have any special requests, just any, our Service Ambassadors would always be there to try their best to assist,” added Benedict Chow.

A tranquil sanctuary from the bustling city, each guest room has been specially designed to coddle guests in the comfort and sophistication of modern ergonomic design. Featuring all the high tech conveniences of home, some of the guest rooms and suites project a juxtaposition of old and new, combining modern and classic Oriental elements, while others present a homely grey-blue design theme. After a busy day, guests can refresh their senses in the luxurious bathroom equipped with a rainforest shower or in a circular bath tub, then snuggle under a cozy duvet with a pillow of their choice for a perfect night’s sleep. In most
suites, the 2-metre long workstation is set next to the sparkling harbour view, a view that most business guests would treasure. For more demanding guests, they can choose to enjoy an exclusive Victoria Harbour view while soaking in the warm and relaxing outdoor heated Jacuzzi available in selected rooms.
