ALVA Hotel by Royal grand opening in Sha Tin 沙田帝逸酒店隆重開幕 The ALVA Hotel by Royal (ALVA) is a new generation of the Group’s Royal Hotel collection. Located along the Sha Tin Shing Mun River, ALVA officially opened this December, providing professional, premium accommodation in an affordable luxury style. Embodying a concept of wellness and discovery, ALVA is close to cultural sites and hiking and cycling trails, featuring a local and dynamic experience for millennials and modern travellers. Urban oasis with contemporary design ALVA’s simple, elegant design was inspired by the concept of “a bird resting on an island”. The design features a V-shaped façade, resembling the wings of a bird, while providing guestrooms with a mountain or river view. The main entrance above the slopes echoes the island design concept. The design teams positioned the hotel as a serene urban oasis, with gardens and landscapes included to enhance the natural elements of the surroundings. The hotel has 618 smoke-free guestrooms and apartments, overlooking the picturesque Shing Mun River, a cit y view or a lush green mountain view. Included in the 24- hour gym are VR sporting facilities and other advanced equipment. On the hotel rooftop is an approximately 25-metre-long outdoor thermostatic swimming pool, with a 180-degree panoramic view of the Shing Mun River. ALVA houses four specialty restaurants and a bar, providing all-day international dining, delicate Cantonese cuisine, authentic Japanese food, and healthy drinks and refreshments. Enjoy smart technology and local exploration ALVA applies smart technology to provide the finest accommodation. Guests can use the hotel’s mobile app for online room booking and pre-arrival check-in. Upon arrival in the hotel lobby, they can easily check in at the self- check-in kiosks. There are smart mobile keys for guestroom access and in-room tablets to control the room’s lighting, temperature and television, requesting housekeeping service and browsing the hotel facilities. The hotel encourages guests to explore the dynamic parts of the neighbourhood, and experience its historical and cultural flavours. The digital concierge in the lobby provides information about hiking routes and cultural spots. Sporty guests will enjoy cycling along the Shing Mun River, in the Adventure Cycling Park, and along the Tolo Harbour Promenade to the Tai Po Waterfront Park, as well as the scenery along the way. Hikers can go to Ma On Shan Country Park or Lion Rock Country Park, with their many famous trails and scenic spots for “check-ins”. Cultural lovers can visit the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, the Tsang Tai Uk walled village and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery to learn about the history and culture of the area. Easy access to all parts of the city ALVA in Shek Mun, Sha Tin is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but is served by a comprehensive transportation network. The hotel is about an eight-minute walk to MTR Shek Mun and City One stations, which connect it to a vast railway network. New Town Plaza, with diverse shopping and leisure options, is just about a 10-minute car ride away. And it is only roughly a 25- to 40-minute car ride to Tsim Sha Tsui, the High Speed Rail Hong Kong West Kowloon Station, Central and Hong Kong International Airport.
