ocated in the commercial
and cultural hub of Wan
Chai, a few steps from
the Hong Kong Convention
and Exhibition Centre and
Golden Bauhinia Square, The
St Regis Hong Kong occupies
a 27-storey building with 129
guest rooms and suites.
“Hong Kong has long
been considered the point of
convergence for East and West,
and we are thrilled to open
the first St Regis property in
this exciting destination,” says
Lisa Holladay, global brand
leader for St Regis Hotels &
Resorts. “The hotel’s incredible
architecture and design
beautifully capture the beauty
of the city through the lens of
St Regis’ signature glamorous
spirit and sophistication.”
Mixing classic and
contemporary elements,
the refined yet inviting
spaces, shaped by renowned
interior designer Andre Fu,
were inspired by the rich
culture and heritage of the
city, and reflect a residential
feel. Born in Hong Kong
and educated in England,
Andre drew on personal
memories for the design.
“Living, studying and
travelling between both
countries over the past 30
years is why my tastemaker
sensibility reinterprets
traditional notions of national
identities or ‘East-meets-
West aesthetics’ in a new
hybrid,” he says. “For me, it is
about combining a seamless
alignment of cultural and
design sensibilities, modern
luxury and craftsmanship to
shape the world around us.”
