Hong Kong Ocean Park Marriott Hotel officially opened on Feb. 19. The opening was attended by business representatives and dignitaries of Hong Kong and mainland China’s government.
The three-winged 471-room property is a joint development between Lai Sun Group, Ocean Park Hong Kong and Marriott International. The hotel façade’s energy-saving design mean the building meets the standards for an environmental-friendly gold-rating for BEAM (Building Environmental Assessment Method) Plus New Buildings. It features three-floor-spanning lobby, 16-metre tall circular aquarium and the heavy use of nature-based decoration.
Craig Smith, President and Managing Director of Asia Pacific for Marriott International said, “This collaboration is a meeting of like-minded partners and brings together what the Marriott Hotels brand means by inspiring brilliance. Creating a green urban oasis that’s just moments from the heart of the city is a stroke of genius that reflects a side of the city that is remarkably green and not just the towering skyscrapers Hong Kong is renowned for.”
Hong Kong Ocean Park Marriott Hotel enriches the offerings of the Park, making it more attractive for visitors to stay in Southern District, as well as for family tourists, MICE events and overseas school excursion programmes. Carrie Lam believes that Marriott Hotel will help propel the development of Ocean Park further.
