NEW, FUTURE AND RENAMED HOTELS (Sept 2008 to end 2012)


Hong Kong has 173 hotels (at end of June 2010) with a total of about 60,104 rooms and 611 tourist guesthouses with 5,839 rooms. 29 hotels are considered "high tariff A" category luxury hotels with a total of 16,052 rooms, a further 56 hotels with 21,239   rooms are considered “high tariff” and 70 hotels with 16,894 rooms are “medium tariff”. There are many current and future hotel projects in order to meet rapidly increasing tourist numbers visiting Hong Kong, particularly from Mainland China.  By the end of 2010 there are expected to be 192 hotels with 62,575 rooms, by the end of 2011, 211 hotels with 66,416 rooms and by the end of 2012, 224 hotels and 69,049 rooms.  confirmed hotel projects will increase the number of rooms by a further 10,500 by the end of 2012.

The largest hotels in Hong Kong, in terms of number of rooms, are currently;

L’hotel Nina et Convention Centre, Tsuen Wan (1,493 rooms)

Regal Airport Hotel, Hong KongInternationalAirport (1,171 rooms)

Regal Riverside Hotel, Shatin (1,138 rooms)

Panda Hotel, Tsuen Wan (1,026 rooms)

Some hotel projects for the future include four InterContinental hotels including Hotel Indigo at Wanchai, Holiday Inn Express hotels on both sides of the harbour, a 32-storey boutique hotel by Henderson Land at the site of the former National Building at 388/390 Jaffe Road, Wanchai, Crowne Plaza hotel in Kowloon, a new luxury hotel at the government’s Murray Building on Garden Road in Central in 2014 after the government has moved to its new HQ. Ocean Park is planning three hotels, Ocean Hotel, Fisherman's Wharf Hotel and Spa Hotel. On Lantau Island work has begun on transforming the old police station at Tai O into a heritage hotel and exhibition centre due to open in August 2011 (for more information on Tai O Heritage Hotel see WHAT'S PLANNED). Another historic police station, the grade-two Wan Chai Police Station in Gloucester Road is subject of a project by the Development Bureau which is likely to see it preserved and converted into a hotel under a 50-year lease which would require the operator to preserve some old features and set up an exhibition hall along similar lines to the Former Marine Police Headquarters which now houses 1881 Heritage and Hullett House Hotel (see below). In March 2010 approval was given for two iconic buildings to be converted into hotels. 179 Prince Edward Road, Mongkok, a grade-three historic building, is to become a 17-storey hotel with 50 guestrooms and when The Boathouse Restaurant, also known as the "blue house", on Stanley Main Street closes in 2012, the site's owners Dolphin Bay Trading Company are to convert the building into a 10-storey hotel with serviced apartments and restaurants on the first three floors. Some existing hotels take on a new identity by refurbishing and renaming themselves and plans for refurbishment of YWCA's Anne Black Guest House were awaiting approval in early 2010. For tourists seeking budget accommodation a 129-bed hostel managed by Hong Kong Youth Hostels Association will open in 2012 in a redeveloped block of Shek Kip Mei Estate, Hong Kong's first public housing estate in a project which also includes a people's museum (see WHAT'S PLANNED).
