Regent Hong Kong: The Awesome Designs To The Best Services..

French hotelier Michel Chertouh previously showed up in Hong in 2021 and his ambition was to work on a project of taking the Regent Hotel back to Hong Kong. Going through the process, he has had the option to deal with this tremendous project to make the desire of returning this hotel to reality. Chertouh now serves as the Regent Hong Kong’s managing director. The hotel recently reopened to guests.

Michel Chertouh has been in the hotel industry for over thirty years, and has worked on various hotels in countless spots. Many have decent structures yet not very many have a soul, which he reckons is the large difference between Regent Hong Kong and numerous other hotels. Meanwhile, the Regent Hong Kong was shut down in 2001 and returned to visitors in November 2023.

The Peninsula Hong Kong across the street has been in Hong Kong since 1928, making it the most historic luxury hotel in the city. the Mandarin Oriental opened in 1963 – however it holds an exceptional spot in the hearts of local people.

Regent Hong Kong was managed by Regent International Hotels and owned by the local New World Development Company when it first opened in 1981. It was a component of the groundbreaking New World Centre mega-retail, entertainment, residential, and hotel complex, which was Hong Kong’s go-to recreation spot at the time.

Even though it wasn’t the first Regent Hotel, this one was intended to be the group’s new flagship hotel.

Robert Burns, co-founder of Regent, thought of a list of creative ideas. The bathroom with five fixtures was one of the most talked-about of them all.

Each hotel room bathroom was fitted with two sinks, a bath, a separate shower room, and a toilet. It became the new benchmark for modern luxury hotels worldwide – which till then mostly consisted of three-fixture bathrooms (a toilet, a sink and a bathtub/shower).

When it first opened its doors in the past, Regent was the only hotel with a huge ballroom. As a result of this, every celebrity events, company meetings, naming ceremonies, weddings, and anniversaries and so on were held here.

Over the years, the Hong Kong hotel received many “World’s Best” awards. But in 2001, local owner New World Development sold the Hong Kong property to Bass Hotels and Resorts. Under new management, it became the InterContinental Hong Kong.

In point of fact, Regent Hotels & Resorts hadn’t its own ups and downs and underwent multiple ownership changes.

Plans to reunite the city with one of their favorite hotel brands didn’t start to take shape until 2018, when the InterContinental Hotels Group bought the majority stake in Regent Hotels & Resorts.

The InterContinental Hong Kong ended operations to clear a path for a total makeover, coming full circle in the arrival of Regent Hong Kong, which was revently opened in the month of November.

The Designer:

Chi Wong Lo, a Hong Kong-born, Athens-based multidisciplinary architect and designer, is behind the redesign of the new Regent Hong Kong.

With his line of high-end furniture made in Italy, he designed the new Regent Hong Kong. However, the Regent was Lo’s first hotel project, he has his own connection with the brand.

He moved to Athens for more than three decades after leaving Hong Kong in 1981, the year Regent Hong Kong opened, to study architecture at Harvard University and the University of Toronto.

However, he recalls witnessing the hotel’s construction while traveling to work in the 1970s by ferry across Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour.

Lo, who is seated by the windowsill of the brand-new duplex Presidential Suite at the Regent Hong Kong, says, “I heard there would be a fantastic hotel coming up.”

“I heard there would be a fantastic hotel coming up,” says Lo, sitting by the windowsill in the Regent Hong Kong’s brand-new duplex Presidential Suite.

“I never thought that I would come back 40-something years later to redesign the Regent. It’s a sort of destiny I couldn’t believe.”

The new Regent Hong Kong showcases Lo’s philosophy on luxury.

“Good work should be discovered but never scream at you,” he says. “I always believe in modesty and calmness in my work. I think it is the true sense of timeless Chinese design.”

The new Regent Hong Kong – exudes calmness, featuring more muted colors and natural materials.

“We came up with this (castle-inspired design) idea for guests to find their own quietness. I think finding quietness is the best way of curing stress,” says Lo.

The Regent Hong Kong’s chandeliers are designed to resemble brick walls. They are made of liu li glass, a unique method of making glass in China that involves molding and casting glass blocks. On seeing it for the first time, you’ll be shocked. It is simply stunning!

In order to make the rooms at the Regent Hong Kong feel more comfortable and beautiful, the majority of the chairs have been designed to be a few centimeters lower than usual. In addition, they are rotatable, allowing guests to turn to watch the views without having to move their seats.

Also, beds are made in a more loosened up design so visitors “don’t need to battle” firmly tucked sheets and covers to settle in.

The Harbourside restaurants and the high-ceilinged Lobby Lounge can be found beyond the lobby. For quite a long time, the floor-to-roof windows in this Regent – is one of the most mind-blowing spots to honor the city’s celebrated harbor.

The Regent Hong Kong Hotel has always been a very elegant, prestigious, and glamorous hotel. It is where local and international high-profile guests like to meet. This hotel has previously hosted a number of world leaders, including former US President George W. Bush (Sr).

The reopened Regent Hong Kong:

The lobby walls are covered in stunning artwork and collectibles, including an impressive folding screen. The new Official Hong Kong has 497 visitor rooms, including 129 suites. One of the city’s largest Presidential Suites features a private terrace and an infinity pool with a view of the harbor.
