Kerry Hotel Hong Kong is more than just a hospitality project, but an iconic landmark that highlights the importance of integration between architecture and the surrounding community.
It’s no joke when entering the first urban resort in Hong Kong. The vibe immediately changes from a bustling cosmopolitan to a tranquil bay-facing space, intricately curated to create a unique experience akin to swanky resorts around the world. Silenced by the brouhaha of the fast-paced city, Kerry Hotel Hong Kong welcomes with a celebration of space in true reflection of the Shangri-La’s design ethos.
The fourth hotel from Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts in Hong Kong brings an inclusive and modern approach to luxury hospitality. Designed and curated by internationally renowned interior designer André Fu and award winning architect Rocco Design, the new build 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 multilevel podium design with extensive outdoor landscaped gardens connects the hotel seamlessly to public areas.
“The sixteen storey hotel has been designed as an ‘urban resort’, seeking to evoke an experience of relaxed luxury in one of the world’s most dynamic cities. In order to create a hotel that will serve the needs of both business and leisure traveller, I believe my key vision is to bring together the outdoor landscape with the fluid architecture of the interior,” shares André, whose role is pivotal in the curation of the hotel’s overall look and feel.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
In the lobby, the mood is therapeutic. And in between the spacious lounge area and the curved glass window that soars eight meters high and spans a width of 80 metres, is a panoramic vista of the culture-laden waterfront. Surrounding the outdoor landscape, a beautifully crafted garden peppered with manicured trees lends a magical touch; adding to a relaxing experience.
