Pentahotel Hong Kong, Kowloon will open Summer 2013, in the emerging area of East Kowloon, home of the old Kai Tak airport. The 720-room, 32-storey hotel anticipates development earmarked for the Kai Tak area including two cruise terminals, hospital, multi-purpose stadium complex, waterfront promenade, a metro park and subway line extension.
As the first pentahotel in Hong Kong, the property will join sister pentahotels in Shanghai and Beijing, along with 13 properties in Europe. Eighty pentahotels are anticipated to be in operation globally by 2020.The innovative pentahotels concept is geared towards independent-minded travelers, “digital nomads” and drop-in neighbours. Upbeat, design-driven lobbies are like living rooms with a buzz, with hotel guests and locals alike lingering over lunch and iPads, sipping wine at the Internet corner, or joining friends for beers, snacks and a game of pool. In-house guests find that unnecessary frills are eliminated in favour of fuss-free efficiency and uncomplicated comfort. Streamlined yet cosy guestrooms are designed for cool, casual ease. Pentahotel Kowloon will also be positioned as a home base for guests to discover the emerging neighbourhoods of East Kowloon and is anticipated to become a neighbourhood hub in its own right. The hotel, designed by Shanghai-based Neri & Hu, will feature contemporary rustic décor in the public areas – with natural wood and stone finishes, leather seating and fireplace -- complemented by New York loft-style guestrooms. In addition, pentahotel Kowloon will feature an outdoor pool and gym.
