Hong kong
BACKGROUND: Kerry Hotels are part of the ShangriLa Group and this property is the brand’s third, following the openings in Shanghai and Beijing. The Kerry Hong Kong bills itself as an ‘urban resort’ – a relaxing retreat in the heart of the city. And certainly on that score the hotel succeeds magnificently.
WHAT’S IT LIKE? This property is something of a rarity in high-density Hong Kong, where size means money. The first impression of the Kerry is one of openness and space. The lobby’s sweeping windows overlook generous outdoor gardens and the pool, and seamlessly transition beyond that to the harbor and skyline. The whole effect beckons guests to leave city life behind.
WHERE IS IT? The 16-story André Fu-designed building sits on the harbor’s edge in Kowloon, rising above the Hung Hom pier with its ferry to the North Point district on Hong Kong Island. A block or so away is the Whampoa MTR station, connecting you to practically anywhere in populous Hong Kong.
