The new 546-room Kerry Hotel, Hong Kong opens its doors to guests today as the city’s first urban resort, inspiring lifestyle pursuits with its outdoor living spaces and family activities whilst setting the tone for world-class business and meeting services. The debut of the hotel is an important milestone for Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts as it marks its fourth property in the city and the new flagship hotel of the Kerry brand.

“It is an integral component of the Kerry Hotel brand to embrace the community and take in the local culture. Kerry Hotel, Hong Kong connects seamlessly to the neighborhood and creates a vibrant hub where guests feel welcome and can expand on their lifestyle. The guest experience is enhanced by both the unique urban resort design and intuitive services,” said Kerry Hotel, Hong Kong General Manager Nicholas Smith. “We are excited to welcome our first guests to experience this new relaxed, luxury approach to hospitality.”

Conceived 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 multi-level podium design with extensive outdoor landscaped gardens connect the hotel seamlessly to public areas and physically embodies the hotel’s approach to ‘More Room For Life’ and relaxed luxury.

“The introduction of Kerry Hotel to Hong Kong provides a different dimension for guests to experience this culturally rich and diverse city,” said Madhu Rao, Acting President of Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. “As our fourth hotel in Hong Kong, the Kerry Hotel joins Kowloon Shangri-La, Island Shangri-La, and Hotel Jen Hong Kong in providing guests a wide range of hospitality experiences and amenities.”
