Hotel also becomes on site hotel partner of newly-opened
AsiaWorld-Expo
 The
newly opened
Novotel Citygate Hong Kong, adjacent to Citygate shopping
complex, brings a stylish addition to Tung Chung, putting the
booming business and residential hub firmly on the international
map.
The contemporary 440-room hotel, located just 5 minutes’ drive
from Hong Kong International Airport, sets new standards for
four-star hotels in the city and will make a significant
contribution to Hong Kong’s tourism industry which is enjoying
unprecedented growth.
Strategically placed to capture business not only from the
Airport but also from nearby tourist attractions such as Hong Kong
Disneyland and Ngong Ping 360 Skyrail (opening in June 2006),
Novotel Citygate is in close proximity to AsiaWorld-Expo, which has
named Novotel Citygate as an ‘on site hotel partner’.
According to the hotel’s General Manager, Mr. Scott Davies:
“Novotel Citygate will be a stylish addition to Tung Chung and
surrounding area. Its opening reflects the growing importance of
this location in Hong Kong and the hotel provides an ideal base for
visiting business or leisure travellers, as well as delegates
visiting AsiaWorld-Expo.”
Mr. Allen Ha, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of AsiaWorld-Expo
Management Limited said: "We very much welcome on board Novotel
Citygate Hong Kong to join us as a key on-site hotel partner.”
“Situated just 5 minutes from AsiaWorld-Expo, we are sure Novotel
Citygate Hong Kong will offer a great experience for our business
visitors for their stay in Hong Kong”.
A free shuttle service is available to and from the Airport and
AsiaWorld-Expo.
As well as its many innovative and striking features, including
exclusively commissioned sculptures, the hotel has a spectacular
revolving door, which at a total height of 4.8 metres, makes it the
tallest hotel revolving door in the world.
An exciting line up of four restaurants and bar will become
venues of choice in Tung Chung, with the innovative look of Essence
and Andante being the vision of world renowned Interior Designer,
Morita.
All day dining outlet, Essence, serves Asian fusion buffet in an
open show kitchen and a la carte, blending all Asian and Western
favourites. Casual Mediterranean dining is offered at Olea, while
guests can enjoy Arabica coffee and oven-baked pastry at Moccato,
and the lobby lounge, Andante is a perfect venue to unwind and
relax.
Making the maximum use of space is central to the interior design
philosophy of the guestrooms by Steve Leung Designers Ltd, each of
which has 32-inch wall-mounted LCD television screens, modern open
plan bathrooms and generous workspace. Room sizes range from 26 - 87
sqm.
Corporate guests are well served with a fully-equipped ‘Biz
Center’ and wireless Internet throughout the hotel. The four ‘Biz
Executive Floors,’ will cater to an expected strong demand from
corporate clients and conference delegates who also receive
complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails in the ‘Biz Lounge’.
The hotel’s hi-tech multi purpose meeting space, the Lantau Room can
be configured to accommodate groups from 12 to 400 guests.
Further highlights include a gymnasium, a 20-metre outdoor pool
complete with its own garden and sun terrace, and a spa (opening in
June), providing a haven for guests seeking relaxing time out.
Owned by Newfoundworld Site 2 (Hotel) Limited, a consortium which
includes Hang Lung Group Limited, Henderson Land Development Company
Limited, New World Development Company Limited, Sun Hung Kai
