Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港四季酒店) is a five-star hotel located in the International Finance Centre complex in Central, Hong Kong near Hong Kong station.[1] It was completed and opened in September 2005. It is a 45-storey building with 399 rooms, of which 54 are suites, and also contains 519 residential units, as part of the Four Seasons Place serviced apartments[2] (Chinese: 四季匯). It is operated by Canadian-based hotel chain, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.[3]
Rooms and facilities
[edit]The hotel has 399 guest rooms and suites including studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom from 547 sf gross to 1,867 sf gross.[citation needed] There are two styles of guest room - Western contemporary, with silk-paneled walls and marble-floored entry foyers, and rooms with a traditional Chinese influence, featuring sculpted furnishings and gold leaf. The hotel does not have floors numbered 13, 14, 24, 34 or 44.[citation needed]
Fine dining facilities include Cantonese restaurant Lung King Heen and the French restaurant Caprice. Both received three Michelin stars in 2009.[4][5] Lung King Heen retained the accolade for 7 years. In 2019, both restaurants were again awarded three Michelin stars.[6]
History
[edit]In 2009, Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong became the first hotel in the world to hold two restaurants, Lung King Heen and Caprice, with three Michelin stars, the maximum rating.[4][5]
On 11 February 2015, Forbes Travel Guide awarded the hotel a five-star rating.[7]
In 2017, billionaire Xiao Jianhua was taken to the mainland reportedly by Chinese public security officers. Five or six plain-clothed agents accosted Xiao at his hotel apartment and, after a meeting inside, escorted him and his two bodyguards across the border.[8][9]
