5 Bedroom Presidential Suite; Includes Infinity Swimming Pool |
.
| HONG KONG (July 29, 2005) � Acclaimed as one of the world�s top hotels
and prized for its spectacular views, InterContinental Hong Kong continues
its dramatic transformation this summer with major room and suite renovations,
including the creation of Hong Kong�s largest Presidential Suite.
The new five-bedroom Presidential Suite will be 7,000 square-feet, with a duplex atrium entrance hall and living room, featuring two-story plate glass windows with panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island. Most spectacular will be the suite�s 2,500 square-foot wrap-around harborview terrace with a rooftop infinity swimming pool and Jacuzzi, for an �IMAX� experience of Hong Kong. The room renovation, scheduled for completion in late September, encompasses 65% of the hotel�s rooms and suites and is the largest in the hotel�s 25-year history. This project is part of InterContinental Hotels Group�s ongoing renovation plan for the hotel since acquiring it in 2001 and its continuing commitment to not only maintaining, but also enhancing the hotel�s position as one of the world�s top properties. �Our hotel is internationally recognized for its picture-postcard views. Now with our enhanced room and suite product, our rooms will be as spectacular as our views,� said Jean-Jacques Reibel, Managing Director of InterContinental Hong Kong. �Our goal is to continue to improve the hotel�s facilities and services with meaningful renovations, which enhance our guests� experiences and provide them with the finest accommodations and latest technology. Plus, the timing of our room renovation is perfect, with Hong Kong�s economy having rebounded and the demand for luxury accommodations reaching the highest levels in recent years, � added Reibel. The new �Contemporary Guest Rooms� will have a streamlined modern look with Asian influences in art and accessories. Soft, warm color tones are designed to enhance the dramatic signature views while providing a residential feel. The new guestroom layout maximizes room space, with a curved desk providing a generous working area. All rooms will have new 37� Sharp LCD televisions, Bose DVD/CD home entertainment sound systems with IPOD docking stations and high-speed wireless broadband access. In addition to the Presidential Suite, the project also includes the creation of a Romance/Honeymoon Suite and a CEO Suite, both with large outdoor terraces an Jacuzzis overlooking Victoria Harbour. The design firm of LTW (Lim + Teo + Wilkes Design Works) based in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Milan, has been commissioned for this project. As the Asia-Pacific flagship for InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, the hotel has already undergone major enhancements, which have positioned it as Hong Kong�s most stylish hotel. These renovations have included the contemporary new-look Lobby, the state-of-the-art Club InterContinental (Executive Lounge), the feng-shui inspired I-Spa and Fitness Centre and SPOON by Alain Ducasse, voted one of the world�s �Hot Tables� by Condé Nast Traveler. The hotel also renovated the InterContinental Ballroom, renowned as Hong Kong�s premier social and conference venue, the harborview function rooms and its internationally acclaimed Cantonese restaurant, Yan Toh Heen. |
