New hotel, new brand The Group’s North Point developments will have a hotel operating under a new brand when it starts welcoming guests in the second quarter of 2018. The building’s superstructure has already been topped out. "We will announce the name of the new hotel early next year," said Group Hotel Division Chief Executive Officer Ricco DeBlank . He said it will maintain a customer focus like the Group’s established hotels, but with a chic twist offering cosmopolitan leisure and convenience to seasoned travellers. The interior by renowned designers will appeal to young professionals and stylish urbanites, as well as welcome local residents and families looking to relax in casual luxury. MTR North Point Station will be a short walk away and guests familiar with local transit will have a public transport interchange nearby. The two 23-storey towers will share an open courtyard lounge area above a retail section of Harbour North. The development will blend into the neighbourhood with an exterior resembling reflections in the harbour water and an unpretentious interior dominated by glass and stone. There will be 671 rooms and suites, virtually all of which will have scenic harbour views, plus facilities such as a 25-metre outdoor pool, jacuzzi and gym with the latest equipment. The hotel will offer flexible hot desks for people working on the road and a club floor with its own club lounge for both leisure and business travellers. There will also be a rooftop bar overlooking the harbour and an exciting mix of international restaurants. Ricco said: "The hotel will also be popular for weddings and events because of the excellent location, remarkable sea views and special hospitality.” 集團正在北角發展相連項目，當中包括一間酒店，現時已經平頂， 落成後將由集團以全新品牌營運，預計於 2018 年第二季開幕。 集團酒店業務部行政總裁鄧力高透露：「酒店的名稱將於明年初公 布。」他續說，新酒店會秉承集團一貫以客為本的酒店經營理念， 但亦會加入時尚創新元素，為旅客提供切合現今都會文化的休閒住 宿和生活便利。項目出自國際級室內設計大師手筆，提供精緻型格 的住宿體驗，特別吸引年輕專業人士和注重品味的顧客，對象亦包 括家庭旅客和本地居民。 酒店距離港鐵北角站步程不遠，鄰近的公共運輸交匯處亦方便熟悉 本地交通的客人。項目由兩座各 23 層的大樓組成，大樓之間設有 露天茶座，基座商場是北角匯的一部分。為建立社區聯繫，酒店外 觀以維港倒影作設計概念，大樓內部則大量採用玻璃和石材，觀感 樸實自然。項目共有 671 間客房及套房，接近全部房間享有維港景 致。設施包括 25 米室外泳池、按摩池、器材先進的健身室，更設有 靈活共用的辦公桌，方便住客隨時隨地工作。旅客可選擇入住貴賓 樓層，並享用樓層專屬休閒室。酒店提供國際餐飲，種類豐富，頂 層酒吧更可俯瞰維港美景。鄧力高表示：「酒店不但位置理想，坐 擁怡人海景，服務及設施亦饒富特色，將會成為熱門的婚禮及活動 場地。」 Computer rendering of hotel 酒店電腦模擬圖 Computer rendering of hotel 酒店電腦模擬圖 Harbourfront hotel site offers the privilege of sea views from most rooms 酒店坐落維港岸邊，大部分房間享有海景 9
